Reviews
NOT a Responsive Map plugin
By ARSGeek (ChamberGeek) on April 6, 2026
I bought WP Maps Pro expecting it to be fully responsive, but it relies on fixed height settings for desktop, tablet, and mobile rather than adapting naturally to the viewport or container.
That may be acceptable for simple use cases, but it breaks down in modern responsive layouts, especially when the map is placed beside another element in a column and needs to match height dynamically.
For a premium plugin, this feels outdated. If you only need fixed device-based heights, it may work for you. But if you expect truly responsive behavior, this plugin is disappointing.
Awesome Support and Great Plug In

Amazing plugin, great support
By SaraRow on June 19, 2025
The plugin works like a charm, very easy to manage, and a really good attention by their support team.
They only feature I miss is to be able to filter the locations in the admin area, to be managed more easily.
Rapid Repsonse Team!

WP Maps is a plugin I've been using for several years across several sites, all good. Had a small issue on a dev site recently, with the zoom function not behaving - following some initial Q&A with the support consultant, I provided admin access and they sorted it pronto. Thanks you so much!
Confused
By caryalpacas23 on May 2, 2025
I would have gladly given a 'FIVE' Star rating for the many months I have successfully been using WP Maps but for some strange reason, all gone haywire. 'Not showing correctly on Website and informed 'Billing Not Activated' then 'API Not Activated', all of which I have activated but map still not showing.
Went back to basic with location and although map shows correctly in Google Maps when I try to test in sandbox 'Ooops something went wrong'?
Really helpful

Super helpful and professional service. Quick to respond - thank you very much
Non Displaying Map Fixed In a Jiffy
By cragbriggs on November 29, 2024
I look after a client's website which I inherited along with the installed WP Maps plugin so I was unfamiliar with it. After many months and regular updates something knocked out the map and it stopped working. I tried everything I coudl think of but could not get teh map back again.
So I contacted support.
They jumped on the issue right away. They logged into the site and made the necessary change to make the map work again. They switched my page from using a Widget to display the map to a Raw Code block using the map shortcode. (About the only thing I didn't try).
It is always refreshing to experience support to this high standard when you need it. I was very impressed. Thank you for your help. And this was on the plugin's free version.
Good plugin and good support
By wolflupu on November 8, 2024
I've installed the plugin on 2 websites, creating some interactive maps with listings. First I had problems with the maps working correctly, but after I contacted support, they helped me and fixed the problem. Some caching plugin interfered with WP Maps. Now everything is working perfectly.
Thank you
