General overview - top

This WordPress plugin when installed, it allows you to customize an interactive US map and embed it in your page or post using this shortcode [us_map]

I recommend watching this video tutorial first, to get the basic knowledge about how WP plugins work.

Please watch this quick video tutorial

This video will give you general overview about the map plugin installation and customization:.

Customization - top

Customize the map colors as you wish

How to open Modal window?

You can easily integrate the map plugin with 3rd party popup plugins (tested with Popup Maker *free*) to open a modal window.

How to place the shortcode - top

If you are using WordPress older than 5.0 simply insert the shortcode in the editor field of your page.

Starting from WordPress 5.0, the page editor look has been changed and now you can add blocks, so you click "add block" then from the blocks types menu list choose "Widgets" then "Shortcode" then insert the map shortcode, like this:

Later WordPress will give you a quick option to add a Shortcode like this:

Multiple Maps - top

The map plugin generates one shortcode and you can use it as many times as you want in different pages of your website to display the same map. Also you can install 2nd and 3rd instance of the plugin to get a new custom map.

Please open the included folder "Multiple Maps" and you will find 2 installable zip files.
