Wordpress Plugins Formidable 4.8 (1.2K reviews)
Formidable Locations is a WordPress plugin add-on that extends the Formidable Forms builder with location-based fields and mapping capabilities. It allows you to collect structured geographical data through your forms, such as street addresses, cities, states, postal codes, and precise latitude and longitude values. Users can enter this information manually, or the plugin can automatically detect their current location using the browser's geolocation API and the Google Geocoding API. All of this data is stored securely within standard WordPress form entries, so it integrates naturally with the forms you already have. This works for any form on the site, from simple contact pages to complex multi-step submissions. The add-on requires Formidable Forms to function, and it adds a set of specialized field types directly to the form builder. These fields can be configured to capture specific address components or full coordinates, giving you control over exactly what information your visitors submit.
Formidable Locations connects your location data to interactive Google Maps. Each entry can be displayed as a marker on the map, with customizable icons, info windows, and map styles. You can cluster markers when working with large numbers of locations, show directions from the map's info window, and even apply custom styles to match your site's design. The plugin also offers practical geolocation features for your visitors: radius searches that show locations within a certain distance, and distance calculations that display how far each listed location is from the user's current position or from any address they specify. Address validation ensures the data collected is accurate, and the plugin supports importing location data from CSV, KML, and KMZ files, as well as exporting your collected entries. Advanced filtering options let you show or hide markers based on other custom field values in your forms, so the map can reflect the exact criteria your visitors choose.
Since Formidable Locations builds on Formidable Forms, the setup process follows a familiar workflow. After installing the add-on, you'll find new location field types available in the form builder, ready to be added to any form. You configure your Google Maps API key (or multiple keys) in the plugin settings, along with default preferences for map display and geolocation behavior. The add-on works with all existing Formidable Forms entries, so your current data can be extended with location information without rebuilding anything. Developers will appreciate the hooks and filters built into the plugin, which allow for custom modifications and integrations. The plugin is fully responsive, and it is compatible with WordPress 5.0 and later, PHP 7.0 and later, and Formidable Forms 5.0 and later, requiring a Pro version of Formidable Forms to operate. Field settings allow you to choose which address components are collected and enable automatic location capture on a per-form basis.
Formidable Locations is suited for any website where location matters. It can power business directories that let visitors find nearby companies, store locators that display physical branches on a map, and service finders that connect users with local providers such as plumbers or electricians. Real estate sites can showcase properties with map views and location-specific search filters, while event listings can be organized by geographical relevance to the user. Local news sites and classifieds can organize content by region, giving users a straightforward way to browse what's happening nearby. The display options are flexible: you can present location data as sorted and paginated lists, interactive maps, or a combination of both. Markers can be filtered based on other form fields, giving you a way to build dynamic, data-driven interfaces without writing custom code. Because the plugin integrates directly with the Formidable Forms ecosystem, all of this functionality works alongside the form features and entries you already use.
