Custom Google Maps for WordPress #Best Education Page #Online Earning

in this video I'm gonna be showing you

how to add a custom google map to your

WordPress website a custom google map is

basically a google map but you can add

your own pins to it you draw a polygon

you can add a heat map you can do all

sorts of things with it basically let me

quickly put it on the screen that's an

example map that I create in this video

it's got a couple of pins on it and it's

got a polygon on it so let's take a look

[Music]

hello it's Alex here from WP eagle hope

you're all well thanks for watching

so as I said in this video we're gonna

be adding a custom google map to a

WordPress website this is a handy thing

to do if you need to show off your

stores or your office location or all

sorts of things really maybe where

you've been on holiday if you need a map

then a Google map is probably a good

place to start and this plugin makes it

really easy to create that Google map

and add it to your site now in this

video I'm gonna be using a free plugin

but you can upgrade this plug-in to a

premium version if you like and the

premium version has loads more features

however the free version kind of does

the job if you just after a simple map

with a few pins that kind of thing so I

think that's enough chitchat from me let

me get on the computer and show you how

to set it up let's go the plugin we're

gonna be using today is called WP Google

Maps and said it's available for free

over on wordpress.org I'm gonna store it

using the plug-in installer which is in

the dashboard of my website website I'm

gonna be using today for this demo is

just test WP go comp which is just a

test site that I've got to set up with

WordPress installed to create videos

just like this

so unless install the plug-in so today

I'm gonna go to plugins and add new then

up in the search box and type in WP

Google Maps

and then click install now this site is

running the Kingdom theme but this

plugin will work with any theme that you

happen to be running on your WordPress

site

okay that's installed let's click

activate and the plug-in is activated

over scroll down we can see it's there

ready to go so I'm gonna click on

settings now the first thing we need to

do is create an API key over at Google

so do that we click on this link now

I've already got one probably because

I've used this plug-in before but let me

see if I can create another one so I've

just got a little wizard so we need to

create a project or use an existing one

let's create a new project continue

you'll probably cut any product because

so any project because if you put it on

already go on and the API should be free

to use so don't worry about having to

pay for it okay let's call this a test

site API key

just give it a name that's you know

suitable so we don't want any

restrictions on the key let's just click

create and here is my API key so I'm

copy that's my clipboard by clicking on

this little thing here I will probably

blur this key out stop you guys from

using it but yeah I've copied that to my

clipboard so I can go back now to the

plug-in and click click even pastes

under the command V there control V

obviously you can right-click and select

paste if you prefer

and click Save so now we should be good

to go so we're all some settings in here

that we can play around with if you need

to I'm not going to bother because it's

fine as it is I'm just gonna create a

map so we've got this new section down

the left-hand side here called maps so

I'm going to Maps and I'm gonna skip

intro and create a map so there's one

already here that we can edit which we

might as well because with the free

version you can only create one map so

if you need multiple maps you're going

to need to upgrade to the pro version

but you really want Maps enough I have

to start a project where I need multiple

maps on it upgrade to the pro version

and it was why it's not a huge amount of

money how much is it let's have a quick

look $39.99 there's a once-off or

one-off buri so anyway let's create a

map so let's call it WP igor map and

here we can set our width and height can

also adjust this depending on where the

map is going to sit on a page so

sometimes it's better just to put the

map in and have a look how it looks and

then come back in and just this you can

adjust the zoom levels so if you want to

just be like the whole world or zoom

into a particular country that's fine

there is a marker on here already

which is over in California we can

remove that down here click the little X

let's add our own ones so let's add one

for London I just type in a city like

that can have a little animation a

little bounce click add marker there we

go we'll look at the bouncing that's

good it's had a couple more where else

we have Paris this time I have a drop

shall we there we go so I had some other

cool features by the way which you

approach you can add some like custom

stuff and have two icons that sort of

thing let's click say map

so now if we want to edit any of these

markers say London we come down here

click on the little pencil thing edit

icon and then it's back up here and we

can adjust the name of stuff like so

advanced markers they are and the pro

version they allow you to have different

images and add a bit more information to

the market also you can depend on your

requirements whether you want to go for

the pro version if you'd like me to do a

video on the pro version that's fine I

do have a copy of it so if you'd like on

end just leave a comment below this

video and if I get enough people saying

that you'd like to see the very version

really on it hey I might even do one

anyway we'll see how it pans out now you

got some polygons let's add a polygon

see what that is

so hopefully it's add and your polygon

name let's just call it eagle polygon so

let's click on a map there there and

there so we can you know highlight a

whole area maybe drag that out like that

yeah we can change the color so this

might be good if you know you want to

have a kind of area covered sort of map

for a company that's kind of thing and

save that polygon let's know got a map

with some things and a polygon on it we

can add a heat map to no we can't less

in the pro version nevermind let's have

a look along here got some different

themes so you know you can have a red or

different colors whatever you like so

that's pretty cool

you can have directions which again is

relevant to probe edge that allows

people just to kind of put in their

address and then click directions and

you'll get a Google map directions store

locator is handy if you've got shops you

turn that on and then because your store

locator

the Advanced Settings you can add a

bicycle layer traffic layer public

transport layout all sorts of stuff and

then there's some even more advanced

settings for the pro version marking

listing options so you can have a little

table below your map again that's a pro

version only feature so as it comes the

free version is pretty basic but if you

just want to have a map on your site

with some markers you know maybe to show

off your locations

whatever you need then it's very gonna

be fine if you need anything a little

bit more advanced then you can have to

pay for now and I sign for the pro

version anyway now we should add this

map to a page so if you just click up

here kind of copy the shortcode into

your clipboard for you automatically but

going back to my site I've already got a

page created it's called Google map here

it is it's just a blank page that I

created just before I recorded this

video so if we edit this page and then I

can just paste that shortcode into the

content area of course you can paste the

shortcode wherever you like really

doesn't necessarily have to be on a page

could be in a post could maybe even be

in a widget and then if we have a look

at the page Wow there's our excellent

map with its polygons and it's bouncing

markers so there we go we're all done I

hope you found that useful and you've

now got a Google map up and running on

your website as I said I may do a pro

version video soon especially if you

guys request it if you'd like to see
