In reply to: [WP Geo search] Bug when location is in frenchHello,
Probably a bit late to be of assistance to you, but for anyone else coming across this:
The issue is with the third-party service used to geocode search queries into coordinates, in this case, Nominatim.
These services are often US-based and that bias is reflected in how they work.
Often, there’s a way to specify a “region” that it will search within to make sure irrelevant results aren’t returned.
For example, Nominatim has a
countryparameter: https://nominatim.org/release-docs/develop/api/Search/The code on line 4 of
inc/geocoder.phpcould be adapted to include this country parameter.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [WP Geo search] Supporting multi orderbyHello,
You’re correct, this is undocumented behaviour that should be added to the docs, or better, fixed to respect multiple ordering.
I don’t have much time to work on it at the moment but a pull request would be welcome!

In reply to: [WP Geo search] How to use it in an archive page?Hello,
Archive pages still use WP_Query under the hood, but it’s modified via your
functions.phpfile.You’ll need to use an approach similar to: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/how-to-use-this-plugin-74/
This might help: https://facetwp.com/how-to-customize-archive-queries/
You should be able to add
geo_queryand changeorderbyfor your needs in a similar way to your example—so yes, it should work!If you run into problems, leave a reply or a pull request.

In reply to: [WP Geo search] How to use this pluginHello – you will probably need to customise your theme’s search PHP templates to make use of the plugin in that way.
Often, a WP theme includes:
–search.php, which displays search results. You may want to display distances here
–searchform.php, which renders the search form itself. You might want to add a postcode input here in addition to your keyword input.Docs are here.
Finally, you’ll want to override the search query itself in
functions.phpto handle the geo information. It will look something like this.What you want to do with the plugin really depends on the effect you want to achieve—please do post a link here when you get it working and we can add it to the docs.
Hope that helps!
