Maps tied to WordPress content

CodePeople Post Map for Google Maps places maps in posts or WordPress templates and displays locations associated with that content. On a single post, a map can show the post’s geolocation and, optionally, recent posts from related categories. In a template, markers can represent posts on the page; hovering over a marker highlights the related post.

Premium and Developer are the paid editions. Premium adds advanced point management, filtering, routes, search, map presentation controls, imports, and dynamic location utilities. Developer includes Premium features, with contact forms, notification emails, point email assignments, Contact Form 7 shortcodes, and point-associated map icons.

Choose which points appear

• Load points from specific posts, categories, tags, or all posts. Search can use location information and descriptions.
• Associate multiple points with a post or page. Maps can use any public post type and show a map for each post on non-singular pages.
• Draw routes with travel-mode options and add shapes. Add a place search box, or make a legend from categories, tags, or taxonomies to control point visibility.
• Add links for directions, Google Maps, or Street View. Display multiple maps on a post or page using the same points.
• Place maps in sidebar widgets and group markers into clusters. Show the visitor’s location and refresh it at intervals.
• Generate points from picture metadata or WordPress App geolocation.
• Export and import points through CSV or KML, and load KML layers from documents.

Set the map view and interaction

Paid map options include width, height, margins, alignment, map type, language, drag behavior, controls, zoom, and the number of points shown. Choose roadmap, satellite, terrain, or hybrid view. Dynamic zoom can fit all points together; when dynamic zoom is disabled, set a fixed zoom value.

Show or hide information bubbles, open one by default, or show the map directly or through an icon in a post or page. If a point has no associated image, its information window can show the featured image instead. Premium and Developer also support routes, grouped markers, and the visitor’s location.

Developer contact forms

Developer links contact forms to map points and can send notification emails from form submissions. Assign unique or global email addresses to points, use Contact Form 7 shortcodes in point descriptions, and use images associated with points as map icons.

Insert maps with shortcodes or settings

Shortcode attributes can load points by category, multiple categories, or all points. A shortcode can also reference a configured map by its map ID. Map attributes can set dimensions, alignment, zoom, map type, language, and other display settings. Insert maps in posts, pages, templates, widgets, and other supported WordPress locations.
