Connect WordPress location content to searchable maps

MapPress Pro extends MapPress with search, geolocation, and filtering for maps and store locators. These tools can help visitors explore locations such as offices, shops, real estate listings, travel routes, delivery areas, and directory entries.

Place maps in WordPress content

MapPress works with Gutenberg map blocks and the classic editor. Add maps to posts, pages, or custom post types, use shortcodes, or generate maps with PHP. Responsive maps can be sized in pixels, percentages, or viewport units.

The plugin supports Google Maps, Mapbox, and Leaflet maps using OpenFreeMap and OpenStreetMap data. Google Maps and Mapbox require an API key; OpenFreeMap maps do not. Maps are stored independently of the map engine, so you can switch engines without losing them.

Search locations across posts

MapPress Pro adds search, geolocation, and filters to location collections. Its Gutenberg mashup block can combine locations from multiple posts in a searchable map or store locator. Map and mashup widgets provide additional placement settings in WordPress layouts.

Shape markers and location details

• Upload custom marker artwork or use the marker editor's thousands of icons, shapes, and colors.
• Choose customizable templates for markers and lists.
• Assign marker icons automatically by taxonomy, tag, or category.
• Generate maps automatically from custom fields, with Advanced Custom Fields integration.

These controls let a directory's categories and fields inform how locations appear on its map and in its lists.

Map display and geographic data

Popups can contain custom text, photos, pictures, and links. MapPress also supports styled maps, marker clustering, and Google overlays for traffic, bicycling, and transit. Visitors can get directions from Google Maps, while geocoding is available through Google, Nominatim, and Mapbox.

For mapped routes and areas, use KML overlays, GPX tracks, or draw polygons, circles, and lines. The extension supports WPML and WordPress Multisite.

Set up a map

Install and activate MapPress in WordPress, select a map engine, and create a map in Gutenberg, the classic editor, or a supported content area. Add locations and markers, configure the size and presentation, then use Pro functions such as search, filtering, custom markers, or mashups as needed. If you choose Google Maps or Mapbox, provide the required API key; OpenFreeMap does not require one.
