MapPress Pro

Help visitors find places in a WordPress directory

MapPress Pro includes search, geolocation, and filtering to maps and store locators built with MapPress. These features can support directories of stores or offices, real estate listings, travel routes, delivery areas, and other location-based content. A Gutenberg mashup block combines locations from multiple posts in one searchable map. Map and mashup widgets provide additional placement options.

Connect map markers to your content

Create maps with Gutenberg map blocks or the classic editor, then add them to posts, pages, or custom post types. MapPress Pro can generate maps from custom fields and integrates with Advanced Custom Fields. You can upload your own marker artwork or use the marker editor to pick from thousands of icons, shapes, and colors. Assign marker icons automatically by taxonomy, tag, or category, and adjust marker and list templates to control how location details appear.

Choose a map engine and check its API needs

MapPress works with Google Maps, Mapbox, and Leaflet maps using OpenFreeMap with OpenStreetMap data. Google Maps and Mapbox require an API key; OpenFreeMap does not. Maps are stored independently of the selected engine, so you can change engines without losing stored maps. The underlying add-on supports unlimited maps and markers in its free version; MapPress Pro adds capabilities such as search, filtering, and mashups.

Set map size, popups, and routes

Maps are responsive and can be sized in pixels, percentages, or viewport units. Popups can contain custom text, photos, images, and links. Presentation options include styled maps and marker clustering. With Google Maps, you can add traffic, bicycling, and transit overlays or directions. Geocoders are available from Google, Nominatim, and Mapbox.

For mapped routes and areas, MapPress supports KML overlays, GPX tracks, and drawn polygons, circles, and lines. Maps can also be generated using PHP. WPML and WordPress Multisite are supported.

Set up a map or locator

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