WP Go Maps Connector

---

Installation

1. Install the WP Go Maps Connector add-on.
2. Install and activate the WP Google Maps plugin:
   • https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-google-maps/
3. Install and activate the WP Google Maps Pro plugin:
   1. https://www.wpgmaps.com/purchase-professional-version/
   2. The Pro version is required because that is the version that has the ability to integrate with third-party data sources such as this Connections Connector add-on.
   3. If you do not have a Google Maps API key setup for your site, you’ll have to now. You’ll need the following API’s activated for the API key:
      • JS Maps (not sure if that is the exact name)
      • Geocoding
      • Places
   4. Add the Google Maps API key to the WP Google Maps settings.
4. Create a new WP Google Map
   1. Under the Advanced Settings tab, choose the “Connections Business Directory” Integration.
   2. Enable the store locator under the Store Locator tab.
   3. Save the Map.
5. Create a new page, place the WP Google Maps shortcode for the map on the page, and publish the page.

Import Markers

If you want to import the directory entry data as native WP Go Maps markers, as opposed to dynamically integrating the markers, please navigate to the WP Go MAPS → Tools → Import admin page.

Choose the Connections Business Directory option and click the Import button.
