Embed WP Maps lets you take maps you’ve already built with WP Maps Pro and display them on any external website (static HTML or any CMS) without writing code. You control which domains are allowed to embed your maps, and the plugin serves them inside a secure iframe. It works with both Google Maps and OpenStreetMap.
How It Works
- Create your map in WP Maps Pro (markers, categories, store locator, etc.).
- Enable embedding for that map in the Edit Map screen.
- Allowlist domains in the plugin’s backend so only approved sites can show your maps.
- Copy the snippet and paste it on any site; the map loads in an iframe if the domain is authorized.
Key Features
- Google Maps and OpenStreetMap support to cover both premium and open map sources.
- Any website, any stack — works on static pages or dynamic platforms (WordPress, Shopify, custom apps, etc.).
- Domain allowlist — add approved domains in the backend; unauthorized sites cannot load the map.
- Per-map control — choose which specific maps are embeddable.
- Secure iframe delivery — isolates the embed for reliability and security.
- WP Maps Pro add-on — designed to work seamlessly with WP Maps Pro.
Technical Details
- Plugin: Embed WP Maps (by WePlugins) — add-on for WP Maps Pro.
- Works with: Google Maps and OpenStreetMap maps created in WP Maps Pro.
- Security model: Embeds via iframe; loads only on allowlisted domains.
- Google Maps note: For Google Maps, use a valid Maps Platform API key in WP Maps Pro and restrict it by HTTP referrers.
Use Cases
- Franchises or multi-brand companies that need the same store locator on many microsites.
- Agencies embedding a client’s central map on campaign landing pages.
- Directories that syndicate location maps to partner sites.
Quick Setup Tips
- After enabling embed for a map, add all production domains (and a staging domain) to the allowlist so previews work everywhere.
- If you’re using Google Maps, lock your API key to the referrers that will serve the embed.
- Control map height and width with the container’s CSS on the destination site to keep it responsive.
Why It’s Handy
Instead of rebuilding maps per site, you maintain one source in WordPress and securely embed it anywhere. That keeps data (markers, categories, styles) consistent and cuts down on duplicate work.
