Changelog.

🚀 Features / Improvements

• New map editor: Redesigned workspace with live preview, responsive layouts and reusable data collections.
• Drafts and version history: Edit drafts separately from published maps, keep version history and restore earlier versions. Existing published maps retain their original renderer until migrated.
• AI assistant: Create and update maps through chat directly in the editor, with AI credit usage available inside the plugin.
• More free features: Upload custom marker images, add links to regions and markers, restrict address searches by country and search by postal code.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Google Maps: Fixed marker positioning when panning across repeated copies of the world map.
• Reliability: Improved SVG editing, draft recovery and compatibility with existing maps during upgrades.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Site stability: Fixed site-wide fatal error after updating to 8.16.2 on some sites.
• Database migration: The database migration is more robust and no longer retries on every request after a failure.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Security: Several security-related fixes.
• WordPress posts: Permanently deleted posts now remove their linked MapSVG records.
• Gutenberg Location: Addresses containing escaped characters are preserved when a post is saved.
• Region data: Editing region fields preserves the internal orphan status and existing region records.
• Remote CSV import: The selected ID column is used when updating existing rows.
• SVG editing: Saved SVG changes refresh on the map instead of remaining cached.
• Repeated SVG saves: Saves made within the same second each receive a new SVG version.
• Firefox: Pages scroll normally while the pointer is over map regions.
• Mobile Google Maps: Switching between Map and List preserves the world zoom level.
• Google Maps overlays: SVG overlays stay aligned when the map container has fractional dimensions.
• Hidden maps: Maps redraw when their container becomes visible.
• Visibility List: Hiding an SVG path works when that path has an inline display style.
• SVG panning: The map can be panned after zooming out to the minimum level.
• Region color picker: The current HEX color value appears correctly.
• Legacy maps: Maps created in version 4.x load correctly after upgrading.
• Map duplication: Duplicating a map works on sites using plain permalinks.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Security: Hardened WordPress post-type REST routes with additional access checks.
• Filters: Public maps no longer get stuck on a loading spinner when a cached page sends an expired WordPress REST nonce; those reads retry without the stale nonce.
• CSV import: File uploads honor the selected ID column so existing region rows update instead of duplicating. “No ID” appends as expected, and Excel BOM headers no longer create blank IDs.
• Loading spinner: The spinner sits next to the loading text, empty text is hidden, and the preloader is visible before JavaScript runs.
• Mobile toolbar: Map/List icons show correctly when Shadow DOM is enabled.
• Pinch-zoom: Pinch-zoom no longer fails on some iPad browsers (including DuckDuckGo).
• USA counties map: Corrected the Orange County spelling.

🚀 Features / Improvements

• Regions / SVG changes: Replacing or editing an SVG no longer deletes region records whose IDs disappeared. Those rows stay as orphans so you can copy their data, then remove them from Regions → Settings → Clean orphan region records.
• Region labels: More reliable label centering (better placement on awkward shapes, no flash before styles load). Bundled SVG maps were updated with the new centers.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Security / REST API: Hardened remote CSV and API fetches so user-supplied URLs cannot reach private, loopback, or cloud-metadata hosts.
• CSV import: Google Sheets web-view URLs are rejected; use a published CSV link instead.
• Admin: Stopped a map resize feedback loop that could keep resizing the preview.

🚀 Features / Improvements

• Elementor + Gutenberg: Added native integrations (Elementor widget and Gutenberg block) with live map preview directly inside the page editor, so you can see map updates while editing.

🚀 Features / Improvements

• Admin UI: Data sources list now shows collection name, type, and linked post type.
• Compatibility: Declared tested with WordPress 7.0.1.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• WP Posts: Fixed allowing the same WordPress post type to be attached to more than one data source.
• API: Requests for a missing collection/data source now return a clear bad-request error instead of failing.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• SVG uploads: Strengthened upload checks so only valid SVG files are accepted.
• Security / REST API: Hardened post-type and distinct-value endpoints against SQL injection.
• Security / loading text: Sanitized and safely rendered map loading text to prevent stored XSS.
• Security / Handlebars: Updated Handlebars to the latest version with security fixes.

🚀 Features / Improvements

• Data sources: You can delete unused data sources from the admin (connected sources and region tables stay protected).
• WP Posts: Clearer Connect / Edit / Connected controls for data sources, and more reliable linking of maps to WordPress post types.
• Admin UI: Cleaner data source actions (icon buttons) and form layout tweaks.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• WP Posts / post types: Fixed empty or missing postType on legacy posts_* schemas so post filters and sync work correctly.
• Google Maps: Removed an incorrect viewport restriction that could block map interaction.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Data Tables: fixed a bug when data tables were not created for new or duplicated maps

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Forms: Improved multiselect tag layout so tags don’t overlap other elements.
• Popovers: Fixed popovers closing when clicking inside them.

🚀 Features / Improvements

• Google Sheets auto-sync: Added a full Google Sheets/remote CSV data source flow with scheduled auto-refetch support.
• CSV import: Improved import flow with preflight validation, clearer ID-field handling, and smarter append/upsert behavior.
• Admin UX: Improved CSV/database/regions controls, including geocoding options, read-only behavior, and add/edit button state updates.

See our full announcement and usage guide: Google Sheets auto-sync with maps - turn spreadsheets into a live data source.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Zoom to cluster: Fixed zooming into a cluster when multiple markers share the same location

✨ Improvements

• Categories grouping: Categories in the directory menu can now group objects by any field type — including text, number, date, and checkbox — in addition to select/radio/status/regions. Unique values are derived automatically from the loaded data.

✨ Improvements

• CSV import: Large files (100K+ rows) are now processed in the background using chunked server-side parsing and WordPress Cron. Progress is tracked live in the admin panel and survives page reloads. Supports all field types: Location (with background geocoding), Image (remote URLs downloaded to WP Media Library with deduplication), Regions, Select, Checkboxes, Post, and Date.
• Error handling: All errors now include unique error codes. Extended descriptions with troubleshooting steps are available at mapsvg.com/docs/errors.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Post publish/unpublish map sync: Map data now updates correctly when connected posts are published, unpublished, trashed, or restored.
• Directory item templates: Fixed rendering issues in directory item templates.
• Zoom to a single marker after filtering: Fixed the zoom behavior when filtering leaves only one marker visible.
• Region status colors: Fixed region status colors not applying correctly.
• Slovenia map calibration: Fixed the calibration of the Slovenia map.

🚀 Features / Improvements

• Load single post location: When viewing a single post page, MapSVG can now load only the location for that specific post instead of all locations. You can find that in Actions > Map > On Load (options is visible only if post field is present in the DB or Regions tables)
• AND/OR logic for multiselect filters: Multiselect filters now support choosing between AND and OR logic. Pass an object with operator and value keys to control the behavior. For now, you’ll need to add a few lines of JS code to the API request middleware code. Soon the options will also be added to the filter settings:

function(data, ctx){
  const { request, repository, map } = ctx;

  if(repository.schema.objectNamePlural === "objects" && request.action === "index") {
     data = {
       ...data,
       filters: {category: {operator: "or", value: data.filters.category}}
     };
  }

  return data;
}

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Show previous map button: Fixed functionality when shadowRoot mode is enabled

🚀 Features / Improvements

• WP-CLI export/import script: now mapsvg adds custom wp-cli scripts for exporting and importing your maps. Examples:

Export all MapSVG database tables to SQL file:

wp mapsvg export

Export and replace current domain with a new one in the .sql file:

wp mapsvg export --toDomain=mapsvg.com

Import MapSVG data from SQL file

wp mapsvg import /path/to/file.sql

🚀 Features / Improvements

• Universal Filters: We’re excited to introduce a long-awaited feature! Filters in MapSVG can now be applied to the MapSVG database, WordPress Custom Posts, or both at the same time. Previously, filters could only be used with MapSVG fields. Now, if your database includes the “Post” field, you can also filter by any post field, meta field, or taxonomy. To configure this, go to: Map editor / Filters / Edit fields / (Choose a field) / Apply filter to the field …
• Dynamic Markers: Previously, you could set marker images dynamically based on the value of a field in the MapSVG database. Now, you can also link marker images to WordPress Post data - including post fields, taxonomies, meta fields, and ACF fields!

🐞 Fixes

• Clustering: fixed clustering which was breaking in some environments

🐞 Fixes

• Shortcodes: fixed rendering for {{shortocode_inline ...}} helpers that return HTML content

🚀 Features / Improvements

• Filter tags: when filters are hidden and you apply filters by JS code or by cliking a region - filter tags with a “X” (close) button are shown either on top of the directory or in the map container (whatever is available). Example:

🐞 Fixes

• Filter by region: fixed filtering by multiple regions at once

🐞 Fixes

• Links in SVG: Fixed inactive embedded links in SVG files
• Minor bugfix: fixed issues with map options appeared in v8.5.37

🐞 Fixes

• Link tags: fixed inactive inline <a>...</a> links in a SVG file
• Activation: fixed activation issues for MapSVG-Lite version of the plugin.

🚀 Features / Improvements

• Improved shortcode rendering in the templates. Now you can pass parameters into placeholders in a shortcode, as shown below.

{{shortcode '[something id="{{1}}"]' myVar}}

{{shortcode '[something id="{{1}}" otherParam={{2}}]' myVar anotherVar}}

• Added nested parameters support for the shortcodes:

{{shortcode '[something id="{{post.acf.fieldName}}"]'}}

This is useful when you are iterating over an array. You can pass current array item into the shortcode using this:

{{#each myArray}}
  {{shortcode_inline '[something id="{{var}}"]' this}}
{{/each}}

🐞 Fixes

• Fixed {{shortcode_inline ...}} rendering which was triggering errors on some servers due to the incorrect Content-type being set as json. Now the content type is set as text/plain.

🚀 Features / Improvements

• Posts: Added mapsvg_format_post_data filter in PHP, that allows modifying WP Post data returned to mapsvg front-end. Add your taxonomies or anything else. Example:

add_filter('mapsvg_format_post_data', 'add_custom_taxonomy_to_mapsvg', 10, 2);

function add_custom_taxonomy_to_mapsvg($post) {
    // Get terms from a custom taxonomy
    $terms = get_the_terms($post->ID, 'your_taxonomy_name');

    if ($terms && !is_wp_error($terms)) {
        // Add taxonomy terms to the post data
        $post->taxonomy_terms = array_map(function($term) {
            return [
                'id' => $term->term_id,
                'name' => $term->name,
                'slug' => $term->slug
            ];
        }, $terms);
    }

    return $post;
}

🐞 Fixes

• Zoom: Fixed issues with zoom & centering the map on cursor pointer on zoom

🚀 Features / Improvements

• Dynamic Region Labels: Labels now dynamically show or hide during zoom. If a label is larger than the region, it gets hidden. If it fits within the region, it displays.
• Precise Label Placement: Labels on the world.svg map are now positioned at the visual center of countries, ensuring better accuracy compared to the bounding box center, which previously placed some labels - outside of the country.
• Enhanced Popover Positioning: Popovers now appear directly above region labels and are also centered visually within countries for more accurate placement, solving previous issues where popovers appeared outside of regions.
• Smoother Popover Animations: Popover animations are now smoother during zoom interactions.

If you use world.svg map with Region labels, and you want to update their positions, you need to reload your SVG file: Map Editor / Settings / File / Reload (keep current titles)

Check out these improvements in the video below:

This update is focused on improving the support for Custom Post Types. Finally, we’ve added the ability to edit the CPT location in the Classic WordPress Post Editor (previously, it was only available in the Gutenberg editor). Also, we’ve fixed the button that lets you choosing a map in the Classic Editor.

Besides that, we’ve added even more tools that help us to improve the support experience. Now the issues can be resolved much faster!

🚀 Features / Improvements

• Map/Location editor in Classic WordPress Post Editor;

🐞 Fixes

• Map choose button in the Classic Editor;
• Fixed an issue with popover not showing up on a map that has scrolling turned off;
• Fixed an issue with the map migrations crashing the plugin, for some very old maps created in v2.x versions of MapSVG;

🚀 Features / Improvements

• Access tokens management interface;
• Chat workflow improvements;

Our goal with this update was to improve the support experience. Now you can easily grant access to your WordPress-admin or WordPress-logs right from the chat application! If we need to check something in your WordPress, we will ask you to grant us access by pressing a button in the chat conversation. When you press the button, the chatbot will generate an access token in your WordPress and copy the magic link to the clipboard. All you need to do is to paste the link in the chat!

Also, we have made it possible to generate multiple access tokens, with different access levels. Now every ticket can have its own access token, which can be easily deleted when issue is resolved.

🚀 Features / Improvements

• Add authentication for the Clockwork tool that provides access to the logs and database queries (makes it eaiser to debug issues)
• Add logs page for support agents

🐞 Fixes

• Make marker/region labels inactive for the mouse pointer

🐞 Fixes

• Popovers / details view for Regions not showing the list of connected objects

🐞 Fixes

• Directory items were not loading in some cases

🐞 Fixes

• Data from a custom API endpoint will no longer be loaded on map initialization in the backend. Instead, data loading is deferred to the front-end, allowing the use of JavaScript request middleware.

This update contains long-awaited feature: custom API data sources support! Now you can fetch data from any custom API, format it using the new middleware feature, and load it to the map!

Also, we added a new type of JavaScript functions that you can edit in the “JavaScript” tab: Middlewares. Those are functions that accept some data and context, format the data, and pass it further to the next recepient. There are 4 types of middleware in mapsvg:

• Map init
• Controller render
• API Request
• API Response

In our blog, we’ve released a tutorial on using a custom API data source and middleware.

🚀 Features / Improvements

• Data sources editor (Map / Toolbar menu / Database / Data sources / Add +);
• New data source: API;
• Middlewares

🚀 Features / Improvements

• The most imprtant an long-awaited: new event handlers that provide full access to the map lifecycle. Now you can connect maps to any custom API source or even Google Sheets! The documentation and tutorials will arrive soon;
• New template structure for the Directory that gives you full control over it - now you can have directory as HTML table or anything else, there are no limitations;
• Add an object ID to the URL on click on a Marker. When user shares the link and opens it, details view or popover opens up for a location on map load;

🐞 Fixes

• Minor bugfix

🚀 Features / Improvements

• Added chat with support into the plugin: now you can ask any questions without leaving MapSVG in WP-Admin area!

🚀 Features / Improvements

• Clicking Support / Create new ticket now redirects to mapsvg.com/dashboard - new Dashboard that contains information about your licenses and authorized chat app that keeps track of your tickets. If you create a magic link and you have logged in to the dashboard already, the magic link will be added to the ticket automatically.

We continue working on increasing the performance of MapSVG. This update adds lazy loading and changes the way the maps are initialized.

It is highly recommended to use the lazy loading feature if your map is located below the top visible area of the website and is not immediately visible to the user. Example:

[mapsvg id="1" lazy="true"]

🚀 Features / Improvements

• Added ‘lazy loading” functionality. Now you can add lazy="true" parameter to the shortcode to postpone map loading and increase page loading speed;
• Map initialization scripts are no longer injected into the page body. This reduces the page size and increases loading speed. All the code is now downloaded on demand from the server. If you need to reinitialize the maps, use MapSVG.loadMaps() and MapSVG.unloadMaps() functions;
• Google Maps API is now loaded asynchronously;
• All JS dependencies have been updated to the latest version (Handlebars, Bootstrap, etc).

🚀 Features

🚀 Features / Improvements

• MapSVG.Gallery: this has been sold as an add-on previously. Now it’s free of extra charge! If you have a separate MapSVG.Gallery plugin - please disable it;
• New MapSVG logo;
• Initial JS bundle size has been reduced by 100Kb - which means faster page loading speed. We’re going to continue recuding the JS file size by implementing modules and “tree shaking”;
