About this plugin

While the free version of WP Go Maps allows you to create a Google map with as many markers as you like, the Pro version allows you to do so much more!

Questions

How do I get WP Go Maps Pro?

Simply visit https://www.wpgmaps.com and purchase the WP Go Maps Professional Edition. Free updates and support included forever.

I’ve installed the plugin, now what?

Once installed and activated, a link should appear in your left navigation panel within your WP-ADMIN section. Click on the “WP Go Maps” link and follow the on screen instructions.

How do I put a Google map on my page/post?

In order to show your custom Google map on your page or post, simply copy the shortcode supplied and paste it into your page or post. WP Go Maps will automatically configure the map to the settings you selected in the map edit page.

How do I add a map block to my page or post?

It’s super easy to add a map block to your page or post. Simply add a block in the normal page editor, then type in “Map” and you should see the map block option. For more information please review this tutorial

How do I add a map widget to my widget area?

To add your map to your widgets area, simply go to Appearance->Widgets and drag the “WP Go Maps” Map Widget to your sidebar. You then edit the map widget to reflect the correct map.

Do I need a Google Maps API key?

Only if you choose Google Maps as your map engine. WP Go Maps also supports Leaflet, OpenLayers, Stadia Maps, Maptiler, LocationIQ, Microsoft Azure and a Zero Cost option, none of which require a Google API key. You can switch engines at any time from Maps > Settings.

Which map engine should I choose?

If you want Google’s native maps and have an API key, choose Google Maps. If you prefer an engine that does not require a billing-enabled API key, Leaflet (OpenStreetMap tiles) is a popular choice. OpenLayers, Stadia Maps, Maptiler, LocationIQ and Microsoft Azure are also supported. Zero Cost is a Leaflet-based option that requires no setup. Engine choice does not affect your stored markers, so you can switch later without losing data.

Why is my map not showing on the front-end?

First, confirm the shortcode or block is added to the page correctly. Then open your browser’s developer console and look for errors related to the map engine you are using. If you are using Google Maps, check that the API key in Maps > Settings is valid and is not restricted to a different domain. Theme or plugin conflicts are also common. For a full troubleshooting walkthrough see our troubleshooting documentation.
