Guides ​

The guides section exists for users who are past the basic feature list and need reliable implementation help.

This is where you should go when the questions become operational:

  • How do I configure the Google Maps API correctly?
  • How do I secure the key?
  • What does billing actually mean in practice?
  • What happens with caching or Cloudflare?
  • Why is a map or Street View not rendering on a real page?
  • How do I move from raw embeds to a maintainable WordPress setup?

Start with the setup sequence ​

If you are setting up the plugin for the first time, use this order:

  1. API key step by step
  2. API key restrictions
  3. Billing explained
  4. Troubleshooting

That sequence covers the most common blocking points before you start styling or advanced use cases.

Infrastructure and performance guides ​

These guides matter when the plugin is deployed on real WordPress stacks:

They are especially useful if your site uses optimization layers, reverse proxies, or aggressive caching policies.

Migration and embed strategy ​

If you currently use raw Google embeds or iframes, start here:

That guide helps clarify when an iframe is enough and when the plugin becomes the more maintainable choice.
