Another tiny suggestion. I noticed function wo_map_console(url) is included in page source even if visitor-maps isn’t accessible to general users.
I only use the plug in for admin use. I’m not sure if it’s possible to detect that and exclude the function somehow.
I’d like to add my vote for option (1) as well.
In addition, you may want to have the footer display of stats off by default. That was a minor (but trivial and inconsequential) surprise to me that I failed to notice them for a while. My preference is to keep them secret.
It would be nice if the profile settings for the “Visitor Maps – Who’s Been Online” type pages were preserved as well, but that’s nit picking.
