10.1.03 – 2026-06-17

Fixed issue where the internal engine assignment could be skipped on fresh installs, defaulting new installations to Atlas Major instead of the intended random assignment

10.1.02 – 2026-06-15

Fixed issue where unauthenticated requests could trigger unintended database writes via the DataTables REST endpoint. Security issue, thanks to Thanh Diem (Wordfence)
Fixed issue where Datatables language files may not load correctly in some environments due to name case. Fallback system developed to resolve and fail gracefully if unavailable

10.1.01 – 2026-06-10

Added a canonical POT translation template (languages/wp-google-maps.pot) so translators and contributors can generate and maintain language files from a single source rather than reconstructing the template locally each pass
Added a fully complete French (fr_FR) translation, refreshed against the 10.1.00 codebase including all Atlas Major UI strings.
Added a fully complete German (de_DE) translation, refreshed against the 10.1.00 codebase including all Atlas Major UI strings.
Added a fully complete Italian (it_IT) translation, refreshed against the 10.1.00 codebase including all Atlas Major UI strings.
Added a fully complete Spanish (es_ES) translation, refreshed against the 10.1.00 codebase including all Atlas Major UI strings.
Added a fully complete Polish (pl_PL) translation, refreshed against the 10.1.00 codebase including all Atlas Major UI strings.
Improved responsiveness of the map editor at narrow viewports (Atlas Major).
Fixed issue where Leaflet frontend maps could place markers at incorrect pixel positions when the page layout had not finished settling at map construction time. An invalidateSize() call after first paint forces the origin to be recalculated against the correct container dimensions

10.1.00 – 2026-06-03

Added Atlas Major, a new editor UI.
Added live preview to the map editor, showing how the page will render with real-time updates as settings change (Atlas Major)
Added automatic background save via REST. Form changes are persisted shortly after a change with a “Saved” indicator, falling back to a native form submit after 3 seconds if the REST request fails (Atlas Major)
Added live tileset swap, applying a tileset to the editor map immediately on selection without needing to save (Atlas Major)
Added click-drag isolation on info-window panels, directions boxes, and inner-stack overlays so panel interactions no longer drag the map underneath (Atlas Major)
Added “Save & Reload” confirmation modal for settings that require a fresh map construction, with an in-progress overlay during the reload (Atlas Major)
Added auto-scroll to top and address field focus after a successful Add Marker (Atlas Major)
Added auto-close of info window panel after delete, and auto-refresh of info window content after a marker save (Atlas Major)

Added auto-return to the feature list panel after a successful Add Marker or Add shape
Fixed issue where saving the map in basic would write empty strings into Pro-only store locator visual fields, leading to invisible store locator circles after Pro was activated
Fixed issue where info-window distance calculation read the wrong unit source, causing “miles away” labels to render kilometre values
Fixed issue where the map list page displayed poorly on small screens due to DataTables 2 colgroup widths
Fixed issue where the map editor REST autosave returned a 500 error under Pro because an admin-only file include was not available in the REST request context
Fixed issue where the Plugin class __isset method was missing magic-getter cases, causing several live preview Pro template injections to silently fail (Atlas Major)
Fixed issue where the custom image overlay live preview could corrupt the map start coordinates because the Leaflet CRS is locked at map construction (Atlas Major)
Fixed issue where unchecked checkboxes were treated as enabled in live preview (Atlas Major)
Fixed issue where the action bar Save Map and Preview buttons would wrap to separate rows on narrow sidebars (Atlas Major)
Fixed issue where the bulk markers REST endpoint would return unapproved markers to unauthenticated users. Security issue, thanks to Fraudless.tech (Ilyess Ghalem)
Improved default map height for new maps from 400px to 600px
Improved Save Map button feedback to pulse red with a spinner during autosave and manual saves (Atlas Major)
Improved engine switching from the editor toolbar to reload the editor so the new engine libraries load correctly
Improved missing API key notice to render as a centered card over the map area
Improved store locator radius circle cleanup when components rebuild in live preview (Atlas Major)
Improved editor diagnostics by removing verbose console output on page load and save (Atlas Major)
Improved internationalisation by auditing UI strings and migrating hardcoded text to WPGMZA.localized_strings (Atlas Major)
Improved cursor handling across editor panels and info-window overlays so Leaflet’s grab cursor no longer leaks into UI surfaces (Atlas Major)

10.0.10 – 2026-05-13

Fixed issue where Astra Theme Compatibility layer may trigger an error on some environments
Improved the language loader to ensure we don’t unexpectedly trigger a global language file due to missing files, as this leads to outdated translations

Troubleshooting

\n","downloaded":27511121,"faq":"\n

\nHow do I get WP Go Maps Pro?\n\n

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

\nI’ve installed the plugin, now what?\n\n

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.

\nHow do I put a Google map on my page/post?\n\n

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.

\nHow do I add a map block to my page or post?\n\n

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

\nHow do I add a map widget to my widget area?\n\n

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.

\nDo I need a Google Maps API key?\n\n

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.

\nWhich map engine should I choose?\n\n

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.

\nWhy is my map not showing on the front-end?\n\n

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.

\nIs the plugin GDPR-compliant?\n\n

WP Go Maps does not set tracking cookies and does not transmit visitor data to third parties beyond the map tile and geocoding requests required to render the map. The plugin includes a built-in GDPR consent prompt that blocks those API requests until a visitor accepts. Configure it under Maps > Settings > GDPR.

\nHow many markers can I add to a single map?\n\n

There is no hard limit. The free version supports as many markers as you need to add manually. The Pro version adds bulk CSV import, marker categories, marker clustering and batched loading for sites with thousands of markers.

\nDoes the plugin work with Elementor, Divi, Gutenberg and other page builders?\n\n

Yes. WP Go Maps ships with a Gutenberg map block, an Elementor widget and a classic WordPress widget. The map shortcode works in any page builder that accepts WordPress shortcodes, including Divi, WPBakery, Beaver Builder and Oxygen.

\nDoes the plugin support WPML, Polylang and multilingual sites?\n\n

The free version is translation-ready and ships with full translations for French, German, Italian, Spanish and Polish, plus partial coverage for many other languages. WP Go Maps Pro adds dynamic translation support for marker fields (title, description, address) via WPML.

\nCan I import markers from a CSV or spreadsheet?\n\n

Yes, with WP Go Maps Pro. The Pro version’s import tool accepts CSV, KML and KMZ files and supports batched imports for very large datasets. The free version supports manual marker entry only.

\nIs the plugin compatible with caching plugins and Cloudflare?\n\n

Yes. WP Go Maps works with all major caching plugins including WP Rocket, W3 Total Cache and LiteSpeed Cache, as well as Cloudflare. If the map stops loading after enabling aggressive optimisation (JS minification or deferral), exclude the wp-google-maps scripts from those rules and the map will render correctly.

\nHow can I report security bugs?\n\n

You can report security bugs through the Patchstack Vulnerability Disclosure Program. The Patchstack team help validate, triage and handle any security vulnerabilities. Report a security vulnerability.
