Uncomplicated map functionality for WordPress.
The EasyMap for WordPress plugin will let you put Google Maps on your WordPress website with very little effort. The bottom line idea is “simple”. You can have one (1) map per content page, you can have up to 200 pins/markers on a given map. You may specify which pins/markers should appear on a given map. You cannot customize pin colors. You can, however, customize just about every display aspect of the output using CSS.
The EasyMap plugin requires a Google API key suitable for Google Maps and Google Geocoding. This is a requirement imposed by Google.
The EasyMap plugin currently supports only Google Maps.
<h4>Basic functionality</h4>
<ul>
<li>Up to 200 locations can be displayed</li>
<li>Choose to display all or some of the configured locations</li>
<li>Choose Google Maps details to be shown</li>
<li>Support for custom CSS</li>
<li>Export and Import locations and plugin configuration</li>
<li>Support for multiple location address formats</li>
</ul>
<h4>Other notes</h4>
<ul>
<li>This plugin may work with earlier versions of WordPress</li>
<li>This plugin has been tested with WordPress 5.5 and above at the time of this writing</li>
<li>This plugin optionally makes use of <code>mb_</code> PHP functions</li>
<li>This plugin may create entries in your PHP error log (if active)</li>
<li>This plugin contains no tracking code and does not store any information about users</li>
</ul>

Maps plugin for WordPress with support for Google Maps. Tested with WordPress 5.5+ and PHP 7.4+

IP Location Block plugin that allows you to block access to your site based on the visitor location while also keeping your site safe from malicious attacks. The plugin brings a smart and powerful protection methods named as “WP Zero-day Exploit Prevention” and “WP Metadata Exploit Protection“.
Combined with those methods and IP address geolocation, you’ll be surprised to find a bunch of malicious or undesirable access blocked in the logs of this plugin after several days of installation.
Note: This plugin is based on the now abandoned “IP Geo Block” plugin by tokkonopapa. I fixed various issues and improved the overall codebase.
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>
Native Geo-Location Provider 
IP Location Block provides <a href="https://iplocationblock.com/codex/native-geo-location-provider/?utm_source=plugin&utm_medium=wporgpage&utm_campaign=readme" rel="nofollow ugc">Native Geo-Location Provider</a> that is faster, more secure and provides the needed precision for matching CITY and STATE besides the standard COUNTRY matching.
</li>
<li>
Privacy by design: 
IP address is always encrypted on recording in logs/cache. Moreover, it can be anonymized and restricted on sending to the 3rd parties such as geolocation APIs or whois service.
</li>
<li>
Immigration control: 
Access to the basic and important entrances into back-end such as <code>wp-comments-post.php</code>, <code>xmlrpc.php</code>, <code>wp-login.php</code>, <code>wp-signup.php</code>, <code>wp-admin/admin.php</code>, <code>wp-admin/admin-ajax.php</code>, <code>wp-admin/admin-post.php</code> will be validated by means of a country code based on IP address. It allows you to configure either whitelist or blacklist to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2#Officially_assigned_code_elements" title="ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 - Wikipedia" rel="nofollow ugc">specify the countires</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classless_Inter-Domain_Routing" title="Classless Inter-Domain Routing - Wikipedia" rel="nofollow ugc">CIDR notation</a> for a range of IP addresses and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonomous_system_(Internet)" title="Autonomous system (Internet) - Wikipedia" rel="nofollow ugc">AS number</a> for a group of IP networks.
</li>
<li>
Zero-day Exploit Prevention: 
Unlike other security firewalls based on attack patterns (vectors), the original feature “WordPress Zero-day Exploit Prevention” (WP-ZEP) is focused on patterns of vulnerability. It is simple but still smart and strong enough to block any malicious accesses to <code>wp-admin/*.php</code>, <code>plugins/*.php</code> and <code>themes/*.php</code> even from the permitted countries. It will protect your site against certain types of attack such as CSRF, LFI, SQLi, XSS and so on, even if you have some vulnerable plugins and themes in your site.
</li>
<li>
Guard against login attempts: 
In order to prevent hacking through the login form and XML-RPC by brute-force and the reverse-brute-force attacks, the number of login attempts will be limited per IP address even from the permitted countries.
</li>
<li>
Minimize server load against brute-force attacks: 
You can configure this plugin as a <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Must_Use_Plugins" title="Must Use Plugins « WordPress Codex" rel="nofollow ugc">Must Use Plugins</a> so that this plugin can be loaded prior to regular plugins. It can massively <a href="https://iplocationblock.com/codex/validation-timing/" title="Validation timing | IP Location Block" rel="nofollow ugc">reduce the load on server</a>.
</li>
<li>
Prevent malicious down/uploading: 
A malicious request such as exposing <code>wp-config.php</code> or uploading malwares via vulnerable plugins/themes can be blocked.
</li>
<li>
Block badly-behaved bots and crawlers: 
A simple logic may help to reduce the number of rogue bots and crawlers scraping your site.
</li>
<li>
Support of BuddyPress and bbPress: 
You can configure this plugin so that a registered user can login as a membership from anywhere, while a request such as a new user registration, lost password, creating a new topic and subscribing comment can be blocked by country. It is suitable for <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress/" title="BuddyPress — WordPress Plugins" rel="ugc">BuddyPress</a> and <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress/" title="WordPress › bbPress « WordPress Plugins" rel="ugc">bbPress</a> to help reducing spams.
</li>
<li>
Referrer suppressor for external links: 
When you click an external hyperlink on admin screens, http referrer will be eliminated to hide a footprint of your site.
</li>
<li>
Multiple source of IP Geolocation databases: 
Besides the <a href="https://iplocationblock.com/codex/native-geo-location-provider/?utm_source=plugin&utm_medium=wporgpage&utm_campaign=readme" rel="nofollow ugc">Native Geo-Location provider</a>, this plugin supports <a href="https://www.maxmind.com" title="MaxMind - IP Geolocation and Online Fraud Prevention" rel="nofollow ugc">MaxMind GeoLite2 free databases</a> and <a href="https://www.ip2location.com/" title="IP Address Geolocation to Identify Website Visitor's Geographical Location" rel="nofollow ugc">IP2Location LITE databases</a>. Also free Geolocation REST APIs and whois information can be available for audit purposes. 
Father more, <a href="https://iplocationblock.com/cloudflare-cloudfront-api-class-library/" title="CloudFlare & CloudFront API class library | IP Location Block" rel="nofollow ugc">dedicated API class libraries</a> can be installed for CloudFlare and CloudFront as a reverse proxy service.
</li>
<li>
Customizing response: 
HTTP response code can be selectable as <code>403 Forbidden</code> to deny access pages, <code>404 Not Found</code> to hide pages or even <code>200 OK</code> to redirect to the top page. 
You can also have a human friendly page (like <code>404.php</code>) in your parent/child theme template directory to fit your site design.
</li>
<li>
Validation logs: 
Validation logs for useful information to audit attack patterns can be manageable.
</li>
<li>
Cooperation with full spec security plugin: 
This plugin is lite enough to be able to cooperate with other full spec security plugin such as <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordfence/" title="Wordfence Security — WordPress Plugins" rel="ugc">Wordfence Security</a>. See <a href="https://iplocationblock.com/codex/page-speed-performance/" title="Page speed performance | IP Location Block" rel="nofollow ugc">this report</a> about page speed performance.
</li>
<li>
