Description
WP Grid Builder Map Facet turns maps from Google Maps, Mapbox, or Leaflet into interactive filter facets inside your WordPress site. Instead of showing a static list, it places markers on a map based on longitude and latitude coordinates. Visitors can click and explore location-aware results tied to your site data.
This plugin helps solve the problem of browsing content without geographic context by adding map-driven filtering. When enabled, it can optionally filter items as users pan across the map, creating a smoother, more intuitive discovery flow. It’s designed to integrate with WordPress content and work alongside your existing grid and filtering setup.
