Themify Post Type Builder Map View 2.1.0
Description
The Themify Post Type Builder Map View is a WordPress plugin addon that helps you visualize content geographically. It displays posts from a custom post type on an interactive map by using the location stored in a chosen location field. Instead of browsing by category alone, visitors can explore where each listing lives. This addon is designed to work alongside Themify’s Post Type Builder and PTB Extra Fields, so your map output follows the same custom structure you already build for your content. The result is a more spatial, intuitive way to present location-based information.
Once you link the Map field type on the selected custom post type, the plugin queries the location field and renders the matching posts directly on the map. That makes it useful for directories, events, and other geo-relevant content.
