Ideal Interactive Map

Description

Have you come across the idea of implementing a map on your WordPress site, but found it difficult to implement and costly to be outsourced? I had thought the same way as well few months back.

This is a fully functional world map with clickable country links that will pop a dedicated individual description. Each country is represented by an auto generated flag.

This complete list of countries around the globe with distinctive maps will help you implement an interactive, professional and lavishly looking map. We owe amcharts.com for the fulfilment of this plugin.

I aim to lessen the complex part of implementing this plugin and focuses on simplicity and ease of use.

I am very much into WordPress community and its a great opportunity to share my part. Am sharing this plugin absolutely at no cost. Everybody is very much welcome to modify the codes or email me for improvements that you can suggest.

I cannot promise my availability to attend into is ASAP but ill try my best to reach out and I will appreciate you taking time to send me feedbacks.

This is a Great Plugin. However, due to it not being up to date with PHP. The Popup description is not formatted correctly... (All text is in 1 block, instead of many lines of text). I have now found the issue, and fixed my end. In interactive-map.php on Line 120 + 137 the code = get_the_content() Needs to be changed to: apply_filters('the_content', get_the_content()) This is because sometimes get_the_content() and the_content() functions a variable sent to a PHP count() could be NULL and that is an issue for PHP 7.2 I hope this helps anyone else having this problem 😀

Very easy to configure, and very nice on front end. For a new version maybe : add the possibility to configure continent in one shot : europe, asia for those who don't need the details country by country. Tks for your work.
