Simple Location 5.0.0 for WordPress Released

Weeks in the making, I’ve released version 5 of Simple Location. Several weeks in the making, it is a major rewrite of the lower level code, and will open up to a variety of different future features.

This version retires Zones, the way I used to keep where I was private by default. But it does so by replacing it with a long desired feature…venues.

The way I am seeing data is changing as a result. By default, the display for a post will display the venue name if attached, then by default the location taxonomy, and finally, the textual description attached to the post. Displaying the location taxonomy by default is an option in the settings.

Right now, Venues can be created manually in the interface or created automatically if there is a check-in posted via Micropub. I have yet to create an interface to do it during the posting process, so there is work to do in a future version.

I’ve added some new providers, and done a lot of tweaks to existing ones.

I was eager to get this out, because I will be traveling this week, and would like to make some venues.

I keep trying to sing four part harmony by myself.

Working on introducing venues to my site….URLs that represent a specific place, as opposed to location, which I already have at /location, which represents posts in a city or town. Hoping to have it done before I go places on the 8th.
