详情介绍:
- Create store locators, business directories, service listings, and resource directories.
- Run a searchable directory with or without Google Maps.
- Search by keyword and filter by category.
- Display results in a list or grid layout.
- Enable Google Maps for interactive map pins, address search, radius filtering, and autocomplete when adding addresses.
- Show or hide listing details, including images, descriptions, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, websites, and hours.
- Give each listing its own detail page.
- Embed your directory with the Location Finder block or [locfinder] shortcode.
- Use the automatically created Locations page or choose your own.
- Built with accessibility in mind: semantic markup, screen reader announcements for search results, and support for reduced motion.
- Translation-ready (i18n).
- Set your own distance choices for radius search, in place of the built-in 10, 25, 50, and 75.
- Filter listings by any registered taxonomy, beyond Location Categories, so visitors can narrow results by service area, amenity, or other custom terms.
- Distance display on each result for geolocated or radius searches.
- A custom HTML template for result cards, with dynamic tokens for every location field.
- Custom map styling (JSON), custom pin icons, and per-category pin colors and icons.
- Show an "Open Now" or "Closed Now" badge based on each listing's hours and your site's timezone.

常见问题:
Can I create a directory without Google Maps?
Yes. Turn off "Enable Google Maps" under Location Finder > General to display a searchable directory with keyword search, category filtering, and list or grid results. No Google Maps API key is needed.
Will this work for any kind of business or organization?
Yes. The Location post type works for shops, restaurants, offices, programs, and resources.
Do listings need a physical address?
No. Listings can represent businesses, services, programs, or online resources without a physical address. You manage all listings under "Locations" in the WordPress admin, whether or not they use an address or map.
What information can I display for each listing?
An image, description, address, phone number, email address, website, hours, directions link, and categories. Choose which details appear using the global settings or customize them for each block or shortcode.
Does the plugin support international phone numbers?
Yes. Enter a US number as usual, or enter an international number with a leading + and country code (e.g. +44 20 7123 4567).
Is my visitors' privacy protected when I show an email address?
Email addresses are encoded in the page's HTML source so they aren't easily collected by automated spam scrapers, while still displaying and working normally as a clickable link for visitors. Email display is hidden by default until you turn it on.
Does each listing get its own page?
Yes. Each listing has its own detail page in addition to appearing in search results. Display the details you need, such as a description, contact information, and hours, with an optional map and address.
Can I use a block instead of a shortcode?
Yes. The Location Finder block offers the same options as the shortcode, directly in the block editor's settings panel.
Can I customize the map style or pin icons?
You can change the pin color in the plugin settings. Location Finder Pro adds custom pin icons, custom map styling, and per-category pin colors and icons.
Does the plugin create anything when I activate it?
Yes. Location Finder creates a page titled "Locations" containing the [locfinder] shortcode to display your locator or directory. You can rename it, change its slug, or delete it. To use another page, select it under Location Finder > General > Locations Page. The plugin does not recreate the page after you have set it or modify your other pages.
Can I filter by a custom taxonomy?
Yes. Location Finder Pro lets you choose a custom taxonomy for each block or shortcode instance, with per-category pin colors and icons. The free version supports filtering by the built-in Location Categories taxonomy.
Does it support categories or filtering?
Yes. The free version includes keyword search and category filtering. With Google Maps enabled, it also supports address search and radius filtering with options of 10, 25, 50, and 75 miles or kilometers. Location Finder Pro adds custom taxonomy filtering and custom radius choices.
What happens on uninstall?
By default, nothing is removed. Your plugin settings and all location data are kept. You don't lose anything if you deactivate and later reinstall. (The plugin does always remove the Location-editing permissions it granted to Administrators and Editors, since those have no purpose without the plugin.) If you check "Delete Data on Uninstall" on the Tools settings page, uninstalling the plugin will permanently remove all locations, plugin settings, and cached data. This cannot be undone.
Is it translation ready?
Yes. Use the locfinder text domain and place translation files in the /languages folder.
更新日志:
- New: Address suggestions now use Google's Places API (New) and automatically fall back to the legacy Places API for older API keys.
- New: Typed addresses are found even when no suggestion is chosen, using the Geocoding API.
- New: A "title_html_tag" shortcode attribute and block option for the result title heading level.
- New: Search rate limiting (60 requests per minute per visitor), adjustable with the
locfinder/rate_limit_max_requestsfilter. - Improved: "Only where the locator appears" now also loads assets for locators in templates, widgets, synced patterns, and page builders.
- Improved: The Google Maps API key setting lists the Google APIs to enable, with direct links.
- Improved: A failed search now shows a clear error message instead of "No locations found."
- New: A "Full width" option for the Location Finder block and
[locfinder]shortcode. By default the map and results stay within your theme's normal content width; enable it to stretch them edge-to-edge on desktop instead. - Improved: The block editor's Pro-feature upsell notices (e.g. Open/Closed Status) now use the same "Pro" badge and "Learn more" link styling as the admin settings screen, instead of a plain text link.
- Improved: Search results can now be selected with a keyboard, not just a mouse. Tab to a result and press Enter or Space to highlight it and its map pin, with a visible focus indicator.
- Fixed: The map could render as a blank, tile-less box in some contexts (e.g. a single Location page) if it initialized before its container had settled to its final size.
- Changed: Renamed the "Location Finder Map" block to "Location Finder" and "Location Details (Locfinder)" to "Location Details," now that the block doesn't always show a map.
- Improved: Search form no longer shows a drop shadow and spans the full width of its container when Google Maps is disabled, with the keyword field growing to fill the row.
- Improved: Placeholder text and select field text now use the same color for visual consistency.
- Improved: Location editor's address field and map preview now show different guidance and hide the map preview when Google Maps is disabled.
- Changed: Adjusted the default neutral gray color token to better complement custom color changes.
- Changed: Result card excerpt now appears higher in the card, below the distance badge.
- Fixed: Clicking a result card when Google Maps is disabled no longer highlights the card or scrolls the page, including for logged-in editors and administrators, who previously saw this happen because of how the admin-only "Google Maps is off" notice was detected.
- Fixed: Clicking or dragging inside the results area no longer selects surrounding text.
- Fixed: Removed a focus outline that appeared around the results panel when it had no scrollable content to receive it.
- Fixed: Category dropdown option labels now use a single, consistent method for escaping output.
- New: An "Enable Google Maps" setting under Location Finder → General. Turn it off to run Location Finder as a pure searchable directory with no map or Address and Radius Search fields.
- Improved: Redesigned the Pro upsell notices on locked settings fields with a clearer "Pro" badge and "Learn more" link, and rewrote the descriptions so each one explains what the feature actually does.
- Fixed: The address field no longer leaves stale location data behind (city, state, postal code, coordinates) after it's manually cleared without picking a new autocomplete suggestion.
- Changed: Lowered the minimum required PHP version to 8.0.
- Fix: Location Details block is properly recognized by the block editor, preventing it from being flagged as invalid content and accidentally removed from the Single Location template.
- Fix: Results Columns setting disables when Layout is set to List, matching the existing Grid Columns behavior.
- Fix: Map width is no longer applied when Results Position is set to below the map.
- Improvement: Category dropdown shows parent and child categories as a nested, indented list.
- Improvement: Keyword and Address search fields use placeholder text inside the input instead of a separate visible label, with the label kept for screen reader accessibility.
- Improvement: Result card thumbnails are larger and card spacing is slightly increased.
- Docs: Clarified that a Google Maps API key is optional. Search and directory features work fully without one.
- Initial release.
