Rating: 4 stars
Most of the 1-star reviews for this plugin are from people who feel that the plugin is “misleading” in that it’s only for WP Engine customers. Note that it’s not called “WP GeoGarget”. It’s not misleading in that the very first sentence on the Details tab of the plugin says…
“WP Engine GeoTarget integrates with the variables on your WP Engine site to display content catered to the visitor’s location.”
For WP Engine customers, it works perfectly. I’m a little worried that it hasn’t been tested with the latest 3 major releases of WordPress. That’s my reason for a 4-star rating. I’m worried it will break and I’ll have a communications emergency on my hands.

In the description the plugin states, “This will not function outside of the WP Engine environment.”
If you are NOT a WP Engine customer – hosting your WP website with them – this plugin WILL NOT work. I confirmed with WP Engine sales.

After having spent few hours trying to work the plugin’s WPEngine\GeoIp::distance_to() method I found that the code has logical bug which caused the return of wrong values.
For a product WP Engine is charging $30 / month this is not acceptable. I contacted the WP Engine support, but they said they do not offer development support, hmmm, okay!

Damn. This is exactly what we need, but cant use it with our hosting.

This is a great feature by WP Engine – it works only on their hosting platform – to present customers with localized content or redirect them to a landing page based on their country or just anything you can think of doing with their IP address translated to a location.
It is lightning fast and removes the latency that’s experienced when using javascript alternatives.
Note that this plugin is for people who know their way around in PHP and does not work out of the box with any ready-made WordPress templates.
It would be nice if WP Engine also allows this feature on cheaper plans, so all their customers can benefit from it.
Two thumbs up for these kind of innovations!

Hi there, when I installed this plugin it said : Please note – this plugin will only function on your WP Engine account. This will not function outside of the WP Engine environment.
I have hosting with GoDaddy, does this mean I can not use this plugin?
Thanks,
C.

Works flawlessly for our needs. Would benefit from better documentation, but so far so good! Incredible support.

This little plugin does exactly what it says. Very easy to setup geo redirection or location specific content. The folks at WPEngine offer excellent support and were very helpful during the plugin setup. After the initial setup not a single issue, it just works.

After spending a lot of time working in China, this is perfect for redirecting customers to blog posts about places I’ve written about specifically.

If you think how powerful this plugin is and what it does for you, you’d expect it to be complicated to set up and use. But you just have to activate the plugin and immediately get to work using it in your code. I’ve used this plugin on several sites since it was released. It’s a lifesaver and I can’t recommend it enough.

It’s a great plugin, very easy to use (for developers at least!). I’ve used it for months now without any hiccups.

The plugin does a solid job of allowing geographically related content to be served only to the visitors that need to see it.

What’s preventing you from allowing professional plans from using this plugin?
