Frontend Submissions on Google Maps lets your community add locations to your WP Maps Pro map from the front end. You control the fields, require login if you want, moderate new entries before they go live, and even let users edit or delete their own submissions. There’s also a CSV upload option for bulk adds.
How It Works
- Add the submission form: Place
[fngmp_location_form]on a page. - Choose fields: In WP Maps Pro → Frontend Form Submission, pick which fields appear and mark any as mandatory.
- (Optional) Require login: Turn on “Login Required” and set a message for visitors who aren’t signed in.
- User listing table: Show each user their own entries with
[fngmp_location_listing]. - Bulk import: Allow CSV uploads from the frontend with
[fngmp_import_location]. - Approve & publish: Review submissions in the admin, approve them, and assign to the map so markers and listing cards appear.
Key Features
- Frontend add/edit/delete so logged-in users can manage their own listings.
- Admin moderation—approve before display, with an option to auto-publish if needed.
- Fully customizable form: unlimited fields, required flags, and category dropdown (sets marker icon automatically).
- Bulk CSV upload form for power users.
- Role/visibility controls: decide who can submit, view, and import; show a custom message to guests.
- Nice to have: user location detection for faster entry and admin notifications for new submissions.
- Built for WP Maps Pro: works with your existing listings, filters, skins, clustering, and search.
