Hi, my listings are not visible beside the map. I have done all settings with the plugin and its adds on, still it’s empty. Could you please take a look at it? https://flyttealliansen.no/flyttebyraer Thanks.
Hello,
I reviewed your map settings, and the reason you can’t see the locations, despite successfully adding them, is due to the “Query Settings”. These settings limit the displayed locations based on categories and title filters.
Please double-check your map’s query settings. Try clearing all fields under “Categories”, “Tags”, “Posts to retrieve”, and “Posts not to retrieve”, then refresh the map. Once all locations appear, you can experiment with the query settings to understand how they work and determine the best configuration for your map.
For more details on query settings, please refer to this guides: https://www.docs.progress-map.com/cspm_guide/query-settings/
Thank you
Hi, I have the map plugin and the list and filter. How can I show the publish date inside the post description and infobox? Now it only displays the title and the excerpt, how can I customize this. I don’t understand the instructions provided on this page https://www.docs.progress-map.com/cspm_guide/infoboxes-settings/build-a-custom-content-from-custom-fields-and-or-categories-for-the-infoboxes/ and i didn’t find anything else related to my issue.
Hello,
The post publish date cannot be displayed using the shortcodes mentioned in that documentation guide. However, if you’re planning to create more complex custom content, I recommend following the approach detailed in this guide instead: https://www.docs.progress-map.com/cspm_guide/tutorials/programmatically-change-the-content-of-the-carousel-items/
This method allows you to programmatically generate any type of description you need. Here’s an example:
function my_custom_carousel_description($default_content, $post_id) {
$custom_content = '';
// Get post publish date
$publish_date = get_the_date('F j, Y', $post_id);
// Get post excerpt
$post_excerpt = get_the_excerpt($post_id);
// Build the custom content
$custom_content .= '<strong>Published on: </strong>' . $publish_date . '<br />';
$custom_content .= '<strong>Excerpt: </strong>' . $post_excerpt . '<br />';
return $custom_content;
}
add_filter('cspm_custom_item_description', 'my_custom_carousel_description', 10, 2);
Add this code to the “functions.php” file of your theme to test how it works.
I hope this helps
Thank you

Hi I have a few problems with the the map:
1. when I use this shortcode [cspm_static_map map_style=”subtle” height=”600px” zoom=”6”] the map style is slightly different from [cspm_light_map zoom=”6” map_style=”subtle”]. The sea color, is different, the map style itself is different, why?
2. I am using polygons to highlight countries. So I have a post that is related to a country, and I would like to use a map in the post template showing that country. Is there any workaround to show the highlighted polygon in that post instead of just a marker? You’ll maybe add this feature in the future?
3. Pins: I have uploaded a custom .svg for markers, but in the main map all markers appear as default red google map markers, except from one which uses my custom .svg file (why??). In the cspm_light_map instead my custom markers appear correctly.
4. Polygon styles: it would be useful to be able to edit the polygon style once for all polygons, can I do that?
5. Whould it be possible to change the message “click on the polygon to open the polygon associated link”?
Thank you!
Hello,
I’m still investigating the issue with the map style and will get back to you soon.
Thank you for your patience!
Hello,
1. Apologies for the delay, I was really trying to figure out why the map styles weren’t applying in your case. Initially, I suspected it was related to the recent Google Maps API updates, but that wasn’t the issue.
It turns out that your shortcode is missing the initial_map_style attribute, which specifies the style to load when the map initializes. Please update your shortcodes as shown below and try again:
[cspm_static_map map_style="subtle" initial_map_style="custom_style" height="600px" zoom="6"]
[cspm_light_map zoom="6" map_style="subtle" initial_map_style="custom_style"]
2. When it comes to polygons, they can only be displayed on the main map. Your suggestion is a great idea, and I’ll definitely consider implementing it in a future update. I can’t provide a timeline for when it will be available, but it’s now on my to-do list.
3. For custom markers, please ensure you’re using the “Marker settings”interface to edit your map markers so they all share the same marker icon. If you used the “Marker categories settings” instead (which seems to be the case), only posts within the selected category will display your custom marker.
However, if that’s not the issue and you believe everything is set up correctly, feel free to send me your site login details so I can check your map settings for you.
4. I’ve added unifying the polygon styles with a single default style to my to-do list, and I’ll look into possible solutions.
5. To customize the message “click on the polygon to open the polygon associated link”, use the following PHP code. Simply copy and paste it into your theme’s “functions.php” file:
function edit_polygon_url_msg(){
return "Your custom message";
}
add_filter('cspm_polygon_url_msg', 'edit_polygon_url_msg');
In this code, change “Your custom message”!
I hope this help
Thank you for your patience
Hi, I have a pre-purchase question: I need to highlight specific areas on the map (polygons) and assign a color and an info box to each of them. I already have the areas defined on another application that can export them in various formats, so I ask if it is possible to create the polygons by importing them from a file of type: .prj .qmd .shp .shx .cpg
Thanks
Hello,
Yes, you can use the plugin to highlight specific areas on the map, customize the style of your polygons, and add infoboxes to each one. Additionally, you can extend its functionality with the “Draw a Search” addon, allowing users to search the map by areas.
However, exporting polygons from a file is not supported. You’ll need to manually enter the polygon coordinates in the map settings.

Hi there. I have a pre purchase question.
Can this plugin work with learndash?
Hello,
I haven’t tested the plugin with LearnDash, but if LearnDash uses custom post types for courses and you plan to display those courses on the map, then yes, “Progress Map” should be compatible.
Thank you for your interest
Hi there,
I’m having an issue with a map that has some markers positioned in the exact same position. Naturally they are clustered but when i reach the max zoom value and i click on the cluster icon, it doesn’t show the infoboxes.
There’s a way to activate something like the Goggle Maps Spiderfier? I would like the markers to expand and become clickable when you click on the cluster icon.
I noticed that now, when the cluster is not expandable an infobox appears with the drop-down list of markers contained by the cluster (behavior that does not always occur) but it does not correspond to the result I am looking for.
Thank you in advance.
Hello,
The plugin manages multiple locations in the same area by grouping them into a cluster. When the map reaches its maximum zoom level, clicking on the cluster will display a dropdown list containing all available locations in that area.
The Spiderfier feature is planned for a future update, but it is not scheduled for release in the near future.
If you believe that not all locations in the same area are appearing in the dropdown list, please share the link to your map so I can check it for you.
Thank you
Hi, I would like to have a layer for countries, so that when I have a post related to a specific country, the country surface is activated (highlighted) and you can click on it and see the post content. Should I use some add-on? How can I define country borders exactly? I can use custom fields as well if necessary. Thank you!
Hello,
You don’t need any add-ons to achieve this; it’s already possible to do with “Progress Map” alone. I’d be more than happy to assist you further with this task, but I kindly ask you to consider renewing your support. This will ensure you continue to benefit from dedicated assistance and make the most out of the plugin.
Your understanding and support mean a great deal to us.
Hi I’ve just renewed support! Can I have further assistance? Thanks
Hello,
Thank you for renewing your support! Regarding your request, I recommend using Polygons to draw country borders. Here’s how you can proceed:
1. Create a polygon for each country border. Refer to this guide for detailed instructions: https://www.docs.progress-map.com/cspm_guide/polygons-settings/draw-polygons-on-the-map/
2. Make polygons clickable. Set each polygon to accept click events. You can find the necessary steps in the guide https://www.docs.progress-map.com/cspm_guide/polygons-settings/make-a-polygon-clickable/
3. Link URLs to polygons. Assign a URL to each polygon so that clicking on it opens the respective link. The same guide in step 2 includes instructions for this.
The guides provide all the details you’ll need to walk through the process of creating and customizing polygons.
Finding Country Borders
To obtain country border coordinates, I recommend using the GitHub repository https://github.com/johan/world.geo.json/tree/master/countries which contains GeoJSON data for all countries. Follow these steps to find a country’s borders:
1. Visit https://github.com/johan/world.geo.json/tree/master/countries
2. Search for the desired country by its code (e.g., Italy = “ITA.geo.json”) and click on the file.
3. Ensure the correct country is displayed on the map under the “Preview” tab.
4. Click the “Code” tab.
5. Locate the border coordinates on the second line of the code. Copy the line and remove the following parts:
- At the start:
{"type":"Feature","id":"ITA","properties":{"name":"Italy"},"geometry":{"type":"MultiPolygon","coordinates":[[[
- At the end:
]]]}}
This will leave you with the coordinates needed to draw the polygon.
Feel free to use any other method to obtain country borders if you prefer. This is just one way to get it done.
I hope this helps! If you have further questions, don’t hesitate to reach out.
Thank you again for your continued support.
Thanks. I’ve tried with Italy and France, but they appear in the wrong place. So I tried to revers coordinates, but nothing happens, the preview doesn’t seem to work. I’ve tried with Malaysia as well, but it doesn’t appear on the map at all.
An additional question: I have posts that are related to a country (polygon). But when I create the post I only see the map for markers. No map for polygons in posts, right?
Hello,
IIt’s a bit tricky with the “Reverse coordinates” option. Make sure to first click the “Reverse coordinates” button, followed by the “Display/update polygon coordinates” button. Only after completing these steps you can update or save your map settings. For more details, refer to the documentation under “Step 5: Verify Polygon Placement”.
On the add/edit post page (administration), the map only displays the marker position.
I hope this helps.
I tried again as you said: paste coordinates, click on reverse coordinates, then update polygon coordinates, then save the map settings, but it just doesn’t work. I don’t even se a preview on the map that appears under the “polygon paths” tab. Would you be available to access the website and check? Thank you
Yes of course. Please send me the login to plugin.progressmap@gmail.com and please mention your username (tomfac) in your message.
Hi,
I want to add multiple pins to the map without associating them with posts or any other content—just standalone markers. Is there a way to do this?
Many Thanks
Hello,
Yes, this is possible, but you will need to create at least one post. Within the post, you can add as many markers as needed. However, please note that this method has some limitations. You can find more details about it here: https://www.docs.progress-map.com/cspm_guide/adding-new-locations/use-one-single-custom-post-to-add-multiple-locations-on-the-map/
Thank you
Dear Support Team,
I would like to implement a feature where the map zooms to a specific marker and displays its infobox based on a URL parameter, such as ?marker_id=1234.
I tried using the cspm_query_args filter to restrict the query to the specified post ID, but it didn’t produce the desired result.
Does Progress Map support this functionality, or is there an alternative way to dynamically display and zoom to a marker from a URL?
Thank you for your assistance.
Best regards, Thomas
Hello,
What you’re requesting is indeed possible. Please refer to this tutorial to learn how to achieve it: https://www.docs.progress-map.com/cspm_guide/tutorials/center-the-map-on-a-specific-marker-on-page-load/
I hope this helps.
Thank you
Dear Support Team,
Thank you for this information, that’s great.
Would it also be possible to automatically open the infobox of the location when arriving on the map via the link?
Thanks and have a great day.
Best regards, Thomas
Hello,
Yes, it is possible. Please use the code provided in this guide instead: https://www.docs.progress-map.com/cspm_guide/tutorials/center-the-map-on-a-specific-marker-when-the-page-loads-and-trigger-the-markers-event/
Additionally, ensure that the display event for your infoboxes is set to the option “On marker click”. Refer to this guide for further details on what needs to be done: https://www.docs.progress-map.com/cspm_guide/infoboxes-settings/choose-when-to-display-the-infobox/
Thank you
Thank you, it’s perfect

Nice Plugin, but please switch to OSM, then i will buy it.
GMaps is simply too expensive for a small hobby project.
Hello,
Thank you for your feedback and interest in our plugin! I understand your concern about Google Maps’ pricing. However, Google provides a $200 free monthly usage credit for its Maps API, which is often sufficient for small hobby projects. For example, the free tier covers up to 28000 map loads per month for dynamic maps.
This means that for most small projects, you can use Google Maps without incurring any costs.
Thank you again
Hi, Again this “loading=async” error with v5.8 . What could be the fix vor this? Thanks a lot for help and kind regards Martin
Hello,
The message you’re seeing about the Google Maps JavaScript API being loaded without “async” is not an error, it’s just a notification from Google. It does not affect the functionality of the plugin, and everything will continue to work as expected.
I’m aware of this and plan to include the best-practice loading pattern in a future update of the plugin to optimize performance even further.
Thank you
The update breaks my map; the map does not load.
Hello,
Please send the link of your map to check it.
Tha k you
Updated to v5.8 : https://nofoodwaste.ch/

Glad to see you’re back. I have Progress Map, the List & Filter, and Submit locations plugins on my site. I also have 5 different Maps set up in Progress Map. Uploading any image causes a multitude of thumbnails to be generated: Image Thumbnail Group Sizes thumbnail ( 150px x 150px ) medium ( 300px x 300px ) medium_large ( 768px x * ) large ( 1024px x 1024px ) cspm-marker-thumbnail ( 100px x 100px ) cspm-horizontal-thumbnail-map ( 204px x 150px ) cspm-vertical-thumbnail-map ( 204px x 120px ) cspm-modal-fullscreen ( 1024px x 1024px ) cspm-modal-carousel-preview ( 700px x 300px ) cspm-modal-single ( 700px x 400px ) cspm-modal-carousel-thumb ( 120px x 80px ) cspml-listings-thumbnail ( 650px x 415px ) 1536×1536 ( 1536px x 1536px ) 2048×2048 ( 2048px x 2048px ) cspm-horizontal-thumbnail-map1812 ( * x 150px ) cspm-vertical-thumbnail-map1812 ( * x 120px ) cspm-horizontal-thumbnail-map1811 ( * x 150px ) cspm-vertical-thumbnail-map1811 ( * x 120px ) cspm-horizontal-thumbnail-map1766 ( * x 150px ) cspm-vertical-thumbnail-map1766 ( * x 120px ) cspm-horizontal-thumbnail-map1611 ( * x 150px ) cspm-vertical-thumbnail-map1611 ( * x 120px ) cspm-horizontal-thumbnail-map20 ( * x 150px ) cspm-vertical-thumbnail-map20 ( * x 120px )
Any way to cut back on the number of images being generated?
Hello,
I’ll look into what can be done about the number of generated images. Please note that each new map generates its own image sizes. The plugin is designed this way to allow each map to have its specific image dimensions. For instance, if you have two maps and want to increase the size of the carousel item images on a particular map, that map will generate its own set of images accordingly.
Thank you
Hi,
I have added multiple pins to a map to represent various locations, each with different types of content, such as photos or case studies. However, I would like to add a pin that functions solely as a location marker, without an info bubble or inclusion in the carousel. Is there a way to achieve this?
Hello,
Yes, you can disable the infoboxes and exclude the locations from appearing in the carousel. To achieve this, please refer to the following guides:
1. Disable the infoboxes: https://www.docs.progress-map.com/cspm_guide/infoboxes-settings/disable-the-infoboxes/
2. Hide the carousel: https://www.docs.progress-map.com/cspm_guide/carousel-settings/show-or-hide-the-carousel/
