Hey Stephen,
Thank you for taking a moment to reach out. At this time, our plugin does not auto-detect user locations, so users will need to input data for the plugin filter events by distance. We are always looking for new ideas, so we invite you to visit our UserVoice Feature Ideas and suggest it as a request. Hopefully we can get something released in an upcoming version!
There might be some other plugins in the WP repo that, when combined with our plugins, could help achieve the auto-detection for user locations and filtering by distance. Another option would be to hire a developer from our list of customizers to build that functionality.
We do offer a 30-day money back refund, so if things don’t end up working out, we’d be more than happy to process a refund for your entire purchase.
I hope this answer helps address your concerns and please let me know if you have any additional questions or comments. Thanks again and take care. Cheers!
