Embedding a Map or Directions
Adding a map is a common request for contact or venue pages
Adding a map is a common request for contact or pages. This site uses a built-in Map block rather than a Google Maps embed, so you’ll need the coordinates of the location rather than an embed code.
Steps
- Find the latitude and longitude of the location. You can get this from Google Maps: search for the place, right-click the pin, and the coordinates will appear at the top of the menu (click to copy them).
- In the WordPress editor, add a “Map” block.
- Enter the latitude and longitude into the block’s location fields.
- Adjust the zoom level and marker/title as needed.
- Preview to check it displays correctly.
If you can’t find the Map block
If it’s not available in the block inserter, a simple link to the map (“Get Directions”) added as a normal text link or button pointing to a Google Maps search URL is a good fallback.
Want me to also drop the “if Custom HTML isn’t available” and trust-warning sections entirely, or keep a trimmed version of the fallback note for cases where even the Map block might be restricted by role?
