Installation

Uploading​

Once you’ve purchased MapSVG WordPress mapping plugin, download the .zip file from MapSVG Dashboard to your computer.

Now you need to upload MapSVG to your WordPress website. There are 2 ways of doing this:

1. Upload via WordPress Admin​

Open your WordPress admin panel, go to Plugins > Add new > Upload, and select the .zip file that you downloaded from CodeCanyon.

info

If you see "The link has expired" error – this usually means that you need to increase max. uploading file size in php.ini settings:

upload_max_filesize = 64M
post_max_size = 64M
max_execution_time = 300

Now in your WordPress admin panel go to Plugins > Installed plugins, find MapSVG and click Activate. MapSVG will appear in the main WP Menu on the left.

2. Upload via FTP​

An alternative, in case the WordPress Admin Upload does not work: unzip the file that you downloaded from CodeCanyon. Open your WordPress installation folder using any FTP manager: it could be Cyberduck, FileZilla, Total Commander. Go to the wp-content/plugins/ folder and upload the "mapsvg" folder you previously unzipped.

Now in your WordPress admin panel go to Plugins > Installed plugins, find MapSVG and click Activate. MapSVG will appear in the main WP Menu on the left.
