This is a clone of the Maps Widget for Google Maps plugin by By webfactory. All credit goes to webfactory and other Open Source contributors.

Are you using Gutenberg and need a map? This is the map block for you! Install, active, add to content. Done! No nonsense, no unneeded settings. Simple and clear in its function - as any Gutenberg block should be.

Gutenberg is now a core feature so please update to WordPress v5, or install the Gutenberg plugin.

Plugin Features

Works as any other Gutenberg block with the following settings:

• address, or coordinates
• zoom
• map height
• API key - once saved in one block it's used in all others

Need a non-Gutenberg map solution? Check out our free Google Maps Widget plugin.

For instruction on how to generate a Google Maps API key please read this article.

Installation

Standard stuff. Make sure you have the Gutenberg plugin installed, obviously.

Frequently Asked Questions
