Open User Map can be used in different ways! Do you want to create an interactive map (Type A) so that site visitors can add new markers themselves? Or do you just need a good looking map to show your own locations (Type B)? Don’t worry, you can change this later in the settings.

Type A: Interactive Map

Build a map based community! Your audience will be enabled to add new markers themselves. Then you will get noticed and approve each location before it gets published.

Step 1

Insert the block/widget Open User Map into a page using the WordPress Editor (Gutenberg) or Elementor.

… or use the Shortcode:

[open-user-map]

Save the page and have a look at the page in the front end. At first the map is probably empty. Now it is time to get first location suggestions from your website visitors.

Step 2

You can manage and approve all locations under OUM Locations in the WordPress Dashboard. Configure styles and features in Settings > Open User Map.

Type B: Simple Map

Choose this variant if you don’t want anyone else to propose new locations to your map.
