WP Go Maps has recently released a handful of exciting updates. Although WP Go Maps has never been shy of comprehensive functionality, these updates introduce some handy, new features.
Our focus for this batch of updates revolved around the importance of our users and making their experience with our map plugin the best possible experience. We allocated a substantial portion of our time to ensuring that usability needs are met; removing all known bugs from the plugin and add-ons and enhancing both minor and major functionality.
VGM Add-on Version 3.00
Our Visitor Generated Marker Add-on now has Auto-Complete functionality and enjoys a neat, new home:
Gold Add-on Version 4.02
We’ve tackled the problem of having markers with the same (or very close) latitude and longitude. We’ve introduced a new feature called New-vicinity marker control that can be customized in the Maps -> Settings page.
WP Go Maps Version 6.4.0 Basic and 6.10 Pro
With extended map functionality, such as Full-Screen Map Mode, added shortcode attributes and improved marker control, WP Go Maps is more customizable than ever!
This is another achievement for the leading WordPress map plugin and setting the bar high for many more exciting updates to come!

Sounds like a great update. Is the new update compatible with WordPress 4.7.2? I’m looking to do updates on my site and don’t want to break it. Thanks!
Hi there. Our plugins are always tested to ensure compatibility with the latest version of WordPress. 🙂
Really? Well, your plugin is not compatible with WordPress 4.9.1, the latest release. I can’t use this or the Premium one that I purchased. I’m ready to ask for a refund. When will you be updating the plugins?
Hi there.
Please contact us directly here: https://www.wpgmaps.com/contact-us/ so that we can assist you as needed. 🙂
We ensure compatibility with every release, so we would really like to investigate all conflicts encountered!
Looking for a simple way to click on a polygon linking user to another URL.
Hi there. Polygons have a link field by default. However, this means the user will still need to click on the link once the info-window opens. Please get in touch should you wish to make code changes to force the polygon to auto open the link on click.
The whole polygon should be a link to me that’s how a lot of maps seem to work not a pop up title?
Hi Scott,
We will add this as a suggestion for a future update. 🙂
Also looking forward to this update. Would like user to click on polygon to link to another link.
Will you be adding an iframe embed function? This would be hugely welcome addition!
Hi Kate
Thanks for getting in touch!
Depending on your use case, this might already be possible.
May I contact you personally on the address you registered with to discuss?
Kind regards

Hi Team – I just installed the latest update and noticed on the front end there is a red/green expand and collapse option for each row in the advanced marker listing style. Can this be disabled?
Thank you! Tiffany
Hi Tiffany
Thank you for getting in touch!
Technically yes, you can disable that by removing the responsive dataTables CSS – please be aware that this will make those fields unreachable for users on devices with smaller screens.
Does that help?
Kind regards
