Maps from ACF and Custom Fields

Already store addresses in custom fields, or use an Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) Google Map field? MapPress Pro creates a map for each post from those fields automatically, and keeps it updated when the post is saved.

Each location on this map comes from a post’s own map.

How it works

  • ACF Google Map fields. MapPress reads the address and coordinates straight from the ACF field.
  • Any address or lat/lng field. Map an address, latitude and longitude, or other custom fields to the map.
  • Posts or users. Generate maps for posts, pages, custom post types, or user profiles.
  • Kept in sync. Maps update when a post is published or saved.
  • Geocoding built in. Addresses are converted to map positions automatically, with any errors listed so you can fix them.
  • Any map engine. Show ACF locations on free OpenStreetMap maps, not just Google.

Add it to your site

  1. In MapPress › Settings › Generate Maps from Custom Fields, choose the field that holds the address, ACF map or coordinates.
  2. Choose the post types to include, and save. Existing posts get maps, and new posts get them when they’re saved.
  3. Show all of them on one map with a mashup, such as a store locator.

FAQ

How do I show an ACF Google Map field on a map?
Point MapPress’s custom field setting at your ACF Google Map field. MapPress creates the map for each post automatically.

Can I show ACF locations on OpenStreetMap instead of Google?
Yes. MapPress displays the locations on whichever engine you choose, including free OpenStreetMap maps.

Can I make a map from an address field?
Yes. Any text field with an address works. MapPress geocodes it into a map position.

Can I show all posts with an address on one map?
Yes. A mashup combines the generated maps into one map, with search and filters if you like.

Free vs Pro: generating maps from custom fields and ACF is part of MapPress Pro.
