Last updated on January 23, 2023 @ 10:53 am

Google Maps are a great way to display location information in a WordPress blog or website. However, they can be a bit tricky to embed without using plugins. Here are some tips:

1. Click on the “Maps” tab in the WordPress admin area.

2. Click on the “Add New” button.

3. Type in the URL of the Google Maps map you want to embed.

4. In the “Map Options” area, click on the “Map Type” button and select “Map.”

5. Click on the “Map” tab and select the “Embed Map” button.

6. Select the map you want to embed and click on the “Embed” button.

7. Click on the “Save Changes” button.

8. In the “Footer” area, click on the “Google Maps” tab and add the map’s thumbnail image.

9. Click on the “Pages” tab and test your map by clicking on the “Maps” button on one of your blog posts or pages and then clicking on the “Add New” button.

PRO TIP: If you are not comfortable with coding, we do not recommend trying to embed a Google Map in WordPress without a plugin. There are many plugins available that will allow you to easily add a map to your website. However, if you do not use a plugin, you will need to edit your WordPress code to add the map. This can be tricky and if done incorrectly, could break your website.
