About
CodePeople Post Map lets you geotag posts and seamlessly integrate your blog with Google Maps for a smooth, location-aware experience.
Security History
What It Does
CodePeople Post Map for Google Maps attaches latitude and longitude coordinates to individual WordPress posts and displays them on an interactive Google Maps map. Each geotagged post appears as a marker that links back to its content, and the plugin lets you cluster markers, draw routes, and embed a single map per page or across the site. In practice it turns any blog running content tied to physical locations into a browseable geographic index.
Who It's For
This plugin is a good fit for small niche sites publishing location-tagged content, such as travel blogs, tourism guides, restaurant reviewers, event venue lists, or local business directories that want to map each entry rather than just list it. Because it works at the post level, suits you best if your content is already organized as posts and you want a simple map view layered on top. Sites with complex directories that need custom fields, faceted search, and bulk import will likely outgrow it quickly.
Who Should Skip It
If you need a full directory or store-locator solution with custom post types, advanced filtering, bulk CSV import, and ongoing developer support, skip this plugin and pick a dedicated locator tool. Anyone uncomfortable configuring their own Google Maps API key and billable account should also look elsewhere, as Google now requires a key with a linked billing profile.
The Bottom Line
CodePeople Post Map is a focused tool that does one job well: putting your geotagged posts on a Google Map, and it earns a respectable 75.67 out of 100 overall. The catch is its tiny install base, zero trackable support history, and the fact that it only treats maps as a post-level overlay, so it is a reasonable pick for hobby or niche sites but not for serious commercial directories. Treat it as worth a try, not a bet-the-business decision.
Related Plugins
Pick WP Go Maps instead if you want a polished, vastly more popular product with 300,000 installs, OpenStreetMap fallback, and a large community for troubleshooting.
Choose WP Store Locator when your real goal is a dedicated store finder with CSV import, search by distance, and a custom post type for locations rather than mapping existing blog posts.
Opt for API KEY for Google Maps if you just need a global key to fix Google Maps embeds across multiple plugins without buying into a full mapping solution.
Use iframe when the simplest possible solution is enough and you only want to embed an existing Google Maps URL as a static box on a page.
Select WP Maps if you want multi-provider support (Google, Mapbox, OpenStreetMap), store locator, listings, and filtering under one roof.
