Is the free version limited?
No. The free version allows unlimited maps and markers — no cap, and no upgrade required. Pro adds more features, but it doesn’t raise any limit, because there isn’t one.
Do I need a Google Maps API key?
No. MapPress includes free Leaflet maps using OpenFreeMap, which serves OpenStreetMap data and needs no API key. A key is only required if you choose the Google Maps or Mapbox engines. You can switch engines at any time without losing your maps.
Which map engine should I choose?
Leaflet maps using OpenFreeMap need no API key or billing setup, or choose Google Maps (which require an API key). Your maps are stored independently of the engine, so you can switch at any time without losing data.
Does MapPress work with the block editor, classic editor and page builders?
Yes. MapPress includes a Gutenberg map block and full classic editor support, and you can place maps anywhere using a shortcode or directly in PHP.
Does MapPress set cookies or track visitors?
The free Leaflet maps using OpenFreeMap set no cookies and do not track your visitors, so they require no cookie consent. Google Maps and Mapbox may track users, but if you use the Complianz consent plugin, MapPress integrates with it automatically to block those services until a visitor consents.
Does MapPress work with caching plugins?
Yes. If a map stops loading after enabling aggressive JavaScript optimization, exclude the MapPress scripts from minification or deferral.
Does MapPress support WPML and multilingual sites?
Yes. MapPress is WPML compatible, including translation of map and marker content.
How do I report a security issue?
Please contact us. We respond promptly and credit reporters in the changelog.
