The Mappedin plugin for WordPress allows users to easily add interactive indoor maps to WordPress pages using a simple shortcode – no coding required! The plugin is free to use and available to download from WordPress or Github. Look at our Mappedin plugin for WordPress Guide for more details on installing and configuring the plugin or jump straight to the following download links:
The plugin requires a minimum WordPress version of 2.9.0 and supports the latest version of WordPress, which at the time of writing this article is 6.5.0.
After installing the plugin to your WordPress site, you’ll need to get your shareable map URL to configure your map in the plugin.
