Introduction

Google Maps Builder is the most flexible, robust, and easy-to-use WordPress plugin for creating powerful Google Maps directly on your website.

Plugin Architecture

Google Maps Builder is a WordPress plugin that has both free and pro versions. In the early days, modifying functionality shared by both plugins required changes in two locations, often by copying and pasting code from one repo to the other. This was prone to errors, cumbersome, and time-consuming.

In version 2.1+ the plugin architecture changed in such a way that it makes it possible to make changes in both versions without having to copy and paste changes from one to the other.

The Repositories

All code that is shared between the free and pro plugins is contained within the core repository. This shared functionality is then included in both the free and pro plugins via Composer.

• Maps Builder Core
• Maps Builder Free
• Maps Builder Pro

How to Contribute

• If it is a free-only functionality, then set up a Maps Builder Free Environment.
• If it is pro-only functionality, then set up an a Maps Builder Pro Environment.
• If the issue involves shared functionality (both free and pro), then set up a Maps Builder Core Environment.
