Features

  • Add a custom map to each post using a simple shortcode.
  • Customize each map with different points via a form in the post editor.
  • Select the post types where the map functionality should be enabled.
  • Easy to use and configure.
  • Compatible with the latest version of WordPress.

Usage

To use this plugin, simply add the following shortcode to your post to display a map with multiple points:

[mapInEachPost]

Or by specifying the center point and zoom:

[mapInEachPost zoom="3" lat="45.4399961" lon="10.9719328"]

Then, use the form that appears in the post editor to input the latitude and longitude coordinates for the points you want to add to the map.

This will generate a map with points in New York City and Los Angeles.

To display a single point on the map, use the following shortcode:

[mapInEachPostPoint lat="39.8736" lon="8.7479" zoom="12" title="Point in Sardinia"]
  • lat: Latitude of the point (required)
  • lon: Longitude of the point (required)
  • zoom: Zoom level for the map (optional, default: 8)
  • title: Title of the point (optional, default: empty)
  • link: A URL to associate with the point (optional)
  • desc: A description for the point (optional)

For example, to display a point with additional information:

[mapInEachPostPoint lat="39.8736" lon="8.7479" zoom="12" title="Point in Sardinia" link="https://example.com" desc="Description of the Point in Sardinia"]

This will generate a map centered on the given latitude and longitude, with the point titled “Point in Sardinia” and a link to “https://example.com”.
