Contact Form 7 Submissions on Google Maps is a WP Maps Pro add-on that turns Contact Form 7 entries into markers on a Google Map. It adds a Google Autosuggest address field to your CF7 form, saves each submission, and shows it on the map with an info window and an optional listing under the map. New submissions can appear in real time once configured.
How It Works
- Create the form: In Contact Form 7, add the Google Autosuggest field so users can pick an exact address (lat/lng captured).
- Tell CF7 to save entries: In the form’s Additional Settings tab, add:
cf7entry : true cf7entry_title_field : your-name cf7entry_message_field : your-message cf7entry_featured_image_field : your-image - Map fields in WP Maps Pro: Edit your map → GEO Tags → for the cf7_as_entries post type, map:
fc_cf7_autosuggest_place fc_cf7_autosuggest_lat fc_cf7_autosuggest_lng - Publish: Place the map shortcode on a page. Each CF7 submission becomes a marker; details show in the info window and in the listing below the map.
Key Features
- Autosuggest address input inside your CF7 form for precise geocoding.
- Markers + listing: Show each submission as a marker and as a record in the listing panel.
- Info window mapping: Choose which CF7 fields become the marker title and content.
- Real-time updates: New submissions can sync to the map without manual refresh.
- Theme-friendly & responsive: Works across desktop and mobile.
- Built for WP Maps Pro: Uses your existing map skins, filters, and shortcodes.
