Google map widget

  • I am building a review site and wanted to put a google map in the sidebar that is unique to the address of the reviewed location. Are there any plugins that would allow me to do this?

  • Sidebar elements are rarely specific to a post, but rather they’re widgets and completely separate from blog posts.

    This is what I would do.

    Create a custom widget that checks for a custom field in the post, then use the custom field to input the address that you want displayed in the Google map.

    I wanted to create a place in the “new post” where I could enter the address and have it load a map in a predetermined spot on the live post

    Unfortunately I don’t know how to do that or create a custom widget lol. I am still learning.

    Oh ok, I think I understand now. So you’re not looking specifically to have it in the sidebar, but show up in the post itself.

    Try this plugin:

    It says it offers shortcodes, which is what it sounds like what you’d need to use.

    I did want to place it in a sidebar so it wouldn’t interfere with a slideshow but I will definitely try this out, thanks!
