👩🏾‍🚀🤵👩🏻‍🎤👩🏽‍🌾👩🏿‍💻 How to create an Interactive Map

Create a community map where visitors can add new markers directly from the frontend. You can receive a notification for new submissions and approve each location before it is published.

Your visitors can search for addresses or existing markers worldwide to quickly find the right spot. You can add custom fields and descriptions to the submission form to collect the data you need. Image, video and audio uploads are possible as well.

Let your users collaborate and watch your map grow.

How your website visitors add new markers to your map:

Visitors simply click the “+” button on the map. A form opens where they can enter the location details in a comfortable frontend interface. After submitting, the new marker can be saved as “pending” and wait for your review before it gets published.

⭐️ Star Rating

Let visitors rate locations with a customizable star rating system.

⭐️ More custom field types

Add custom fields such as links, radio buttons, checkboxes, dropdowns, opening hours and HTML. Social media links can automatically be rendered as icons.

Use additional geosearch providers including Geoapify, HERE and MapBox.

⭐️ Videos from YouTube & Vimeo

Use videos instead of images to highlight each location.

Limit the locations shown on a map by marker categories or post IDs. This makes it possible to show only locations of a specific type or render a single location. This can be done in the block settings or with shortcode attributes.

⭐️ Single pages for locations

By default, locations do not have single pages. This helps prevent large numbers of location posts from negatively affecting your SEO. If you want to add more content to locations, you can enable single pages in Open User Map PRO.

⭐️ Default template for single pages

When single pages are enabled, locations automatically get a post thumbnail, an excerpt and a default content template. You can also show locations within query loop blocks to create your own list or grid view.

⭐️ Shortcodes for single location values

Use the shortcode [open-user-map-location value=”YOUR VALUE” post_id=”POST ID (optional)”] to display a value from a location. This is useful when creating single pages for locations. You can find all available values in the Help section of the plugin settings under Open User Map > Settings > Help.

⭐️ Show all location images as gallery

Use the shortcode [open-user-map-gallery] to display a gallery view of all location images. Each image links to the corresponding location marker on the map.

⭐️ Show all locations as list or grid

Use the shortcode [open-user-map-list] to display all locations as a list. Alternatively, you can use native query loop blocks to build a custom list or grid.

⭐️ Allow registered users to edit their locations

Open User Map PRO extends WordPress capabilities to allow backend access. If assigned to the user role, registered users can read, edit and delete their own locations from within the map.
