Plugins / Map Directory
Map Directory
A searchable directory of providers, members or businesses on a Google map, with category filters, search and a grid or sidebar layout.
What it does
Help people find the right fit, close by.
Therapists, member businesses, locations, partners: Map Directory puts your listings on a Google map with search and category filters, so visitors can narrow it down in seconds.
Two layouts
Map on top with a grid of listings below, or a scrolling list beside the map.
Category filters
Filter buttons (pick several) or a dropdown. Link straight to a category with ?category=slug.
Pins placed for you
Pins come from each listing’s address, or a city like “Atlanta, GA”. Street addresses can stay private.
Virtual listings
An optional Virtual filter for remote listings, and virtual-only listings can stay off the map.
Featured and sorted
Star featured listings, set a sort priority and turn on full listing pages if you want them.
Call it anything
Rename everything to Providers, Businesses or Members. It works as a searchable grid even before you add Google keys.

FAQ
Straight answers.
Do I need a Google Maps key?
For the map and automatic pins, yes: a browser key for the Maps JavaScript API and a server key for the Geocoding API. Without keys it still works as a searchable grid.
Can I change the layout on one page?
Yes. Shortcode attributes like layout="sidebar", columns="3", map="no" or category="slug" override the settings for that spot.
Can other plugins add listings?
Yes. Developers can create and update listings with WPWMD_Listings::upsert(), which suits paid listings and membership sites.
How do updates work?
The plugin checks wpwizards.com for new versions and updates itself automatically, like any plugin from WordPress.org.
I am a WP Wizards client. Do I pay for it?
No. Every plugin is included while you have an active service with us.
