Maps from Yandex for Elementor

68 Quality Score

Active Installs

17/30

At roughly 7,000 active installs it sits well below the heavyweight Elementor addons, but its niche Yandex focus is narrow enough that the figure is reasonable.

Update Freshness

17/25

Updated in October 2025 and tested against WordPress 6.8.5, recent activity is a good sign though the solo-developer cadence can be hard to predict.

User Rating

15/15

A 98 out of 100 across 49 ratings is excellent, though the small sample size means the score carries less statistical weight than it appears.

Support Health

8/15

Zero support threads resolved out of zero opened makes the support health score essentially unverifiable; there is no public track record to lean on.

WP Compatibility

11/15

Requires WordPress 6.6 and PHP 7.4, which is a recent baseline that should work for most current sites but cuts off older hosts.

What It Does

Maps from Yandex for Elementor adds a Yandex Maps widget to the Elementor page builder, letting you drop interactive maps onto pages without writing code. It taps the Yandex Maps API to render markers, locations, and map views directly inside the Elementor editor. It is one of the few straightforward ways to embed Yandex (rather than Google) maps in a WordPress site built with Elementor.

Who It's For

This plugin is a fit for site owners targeting audiences in Russia, the CIS region, or other markets where Yandex Maps is more familiar or accurate than Google Maps. Local businesses, real estate agencies, travel sites, and logistics operators who already use Elementor will get the most out of it. If your visitors are primarily in regions where Yandex holds a strong mapping advantage, this widget is purpose-built for you.

Who Should Skip It

If your audience is in North America, Western Europe, or most of Southeast Asia, Google Maps is the better choice and this plugin offers you nothing. Anyone not building with Elementor will also miss the point, since the widget only works inside that page builder.

The Bottom Line

Maps from Yandex for Elementor is a focused, well-rated utility that fills a real gap for Elementor users who need Yandex maps instead of Google. The tiny install base and a support channel that shows zero resolved threads mean you are betting on a single developer rather than a community. Use it if Yandex Maps is a strategic requirement; otherwise, a larger Elementor addon bundle will give you more value per install.
