How can I add a map and location feature to my WordPress website?

by | Feb 10, 2023

You can add a map and location feature to your WordPress website in several ways:

  1. Using a Plugin: There are many plugins available for adding maps to your WordPress website, including:
    • Google Maps Plugin
    • MapPress Easy Google Maps
    • WP Google Maps
  2. Using an API: If you’re comfortable with code, you can use an API such as Google Maps API to add a map to your WordPress website. You’ll need to create a project in the Google Cloud Console and obtain an API key, which you can then use to embed a map on your website using the following code:
    <iframe src="https://maps.google.com/maps?q=your-location&t=&z=13&ie=UTF8&iwloc=&output=embed" frameborder="0" style="border:0;" allowfullscreen></iframe>
    Replace “your-location” with the address or latitude/longitude coordinates for the location you want to display on the map.
  3. Using a Page Builder: If you have a page builder plugin installed on your WordPress website, you can add a map using its built-in features. For example, if you’re using Elementor, you can add a map using its Google Maps widget.

Note: When using Google Maps, follow the usage rules and not exceed the API limits. If you do, you’ll have to pay extra fees.
