What This Add-On Does
Slider Revolution Map & Places Addon adds a map layer type to Slider Revolution, so a slide can hold a live, interactive map instead of a static background image. You place pins on specific locations, attach details to each place, and let visitors pan and zoom inside the slide itself.
The practical result is that location information stops living on a separate page. A retailer can show store branches inside a homepage slider. A venue can mark its entrance, parking and nearby transit stops. A travel site can walk readers through a route, one slide per stop, with the map moving along with the story.
Key Features
- Interactive maps inside slides. The map is a slide element, so it can sit alongside text, images, buttons and layer animations you already use in Slider Revolution.
- Location pins. Mark individual places on the map and position them by address or coordinates.
- Place details. Attach information to each pin, such as a name, a short description or an image, so visitors get context when they select it.
- Visitor interaction. Users can explore the map by dragging and zooming rather than only watching the slide advance.
- Editor-based setup. Maps are configured within the Slider Revolution editor, so there is no separate interface to learn for basic use.
- Layered design control. Because the map is one layer among many, you can combine it with titles, overlays and timing settings to fit the slide’s layout.
What It Works With
This is an add-on, not a standalone plugin. It extends Slider Revolution and needs that plugin installed to function. Once both are active, the map and places options appear within the Slider Revolution editor. Any theme that displays Slider Revolution sliders can display the maps too, since the output is part of the slider rather than the theme.
The add-on is released under the GPL. That means you can modify the code, adapt it for a client project, or extend its behavior with your own custom development, provided you keep to the terms of the license. Agencies building location-driven sites for several clients will find this useful when a project needs slightly different marker behavior or styling.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use more than one map in the same slider?
Yes. A map is added as a layer on a slide, so you can build separate slides with different maps and pin sets. A store locator slider, for example, could dedicate one slide to each region and feature different pins on each.
Does the map replace the slide background, or can it sit with other content?
It works as a layer, so you can place it behind or beside other layers. Headings, buttons and descriptive text can overlay or surround the map, and you control the arrangement in the Slider Revolution editor just as you would for any other slide element.
