The Divi Map Module

How to add, configure and customize the Divi map module.

Updated over 6 months ago

The Divi Map Module is an easy way to display an interactive Google map on your website.

You can specify multiple pin locations and is a visual and useful way to share your business's location on a contact page or an about page.

In this guide, we'll go over how to add the map module to your page and all of the settings and design customizations available within the Divi Map Module.

Example of the Divi Map Module

How to Add the Divi Map Module to Your Page

  1. Add a new page or edit an existing page.
    By default, the Standard Gutenberg Editor loads whenever a new post or page is added to WordPress.

  2. Click the purple button underneath the page title. Use The Divi Builder.

Add a Page and Load the Divi Builder

Once clicked, the page will be reloaded with the Divi Visual Builder.

As your page reloads, you'll notice three options:

  • Build From Scratch

  • Choose A Premade Layout

  • Build with AI

Build From Scratch

This option loads the Divi Builder with a blank page design. Choose this option if you'd like to start your page design from Scratch.

Choose a Premade Layout

This option lets you choose from our large library of pre-designed Divi layouts. You can choose from premade layouts by Divi, which you've designed and saved to your Divi Library, and existing pages on your website that you can clone.

Build with AI

This option allows you to create an entire page layout using Divi AI. Using your text prompt and information about your website, you can create the perfect page outline, then build it and fill it with content and imagery, bringing it all to life in no time.

Divi Page Flow

Add the Divi Login Module

When you load the Visual Builder, Divi automatically adds a Section.

  1. Click the green + icon to insert a Row.

  2. Click the gray + icon inside the Row to open the Divi Module Library, which contains all the modules included with the Divi theme.

  3. Find the Map module and click on it to load the module.
    The module library is also searchable. Type the module name you want in the search bar at the top.

How to add the Divi Map Module to your page

Now, the Divi Map Module is added to your page!

Divi Map Module Map overview

Generate A Google Maps API Key

Before you can start using the full functionality of the maps module, you'll need a Google API Key.

A Google API Key authenticates your connection to Google's location services and makes the Map Module function.

To generate an API key, you’ll need a Google account, a project linked with a billing account, and the Geocode API enabled.

Pro Tip: If you created your Google API Key and pasted it in the Map Module, and it's still not working, you likely need to add a billing method to your Google Account.

Why do I need to add my credit card or bank account if Google Maps is free? Because Google requires it. However, don't worry - you'll likely never be charged if your website generates less than 15,000 visitors a month.

All Divi Map Module Options Explained

Add A New Pin

The first section in the Content settings is where you can add and remove map pins. Adding a pin to the map will highlight a specific location on the map. You can add multiple pins, which can be helpful, for example, if you’re creating a map of a neighborhood tour of your favorite spots.

  • Horizontal Overflow - Defines what shows when content overflows a block-level element's left and right edges. This may be:

    • Visible - The content will show if the module's content overflows its height.

    • Scroll - If the module's content overflows its height, a vertical scroll bar will be used to scroll through its content.

    • Hidden - If the module's content overflows its height, the part of the content that overflows will be hidden.

    • Auto - The browser will decide whether a scroll bar will be shown.

  • Vertical Overflow - Defines what shows when content overflows a block-level element's top and bottom edges. This may be:

    • Visible - The content will show if the module's content overflows its height.

Transitions

Position

  • Position - This defines the position of the module:

    • Relative (default value) - The module is positioned according to the normal flow of the document, and then offset values are relative to itself based on the values of Vertical Offset and Horizontal Offset. The offset does not affect the position of any other elements; thus, the space given for the module in the page layout is the same as if the position were default (static).

    • Absolute - The module is removed from the normal document flow, and no space is created for the element in the page layout. The module is positioned relative to its closest positioned ancestor (if any) or the initial containing block. The Location options determine its final position

    • Fixed - The element is removed from the normal document flow, and no space is created for the element in the page layout. The module is positioned based on the location options in relation to the browser window. This can be used to create a sticky module.

  • Vertical Offset - Defines the module's vertical position.

  • Horizontal Offset - Defines the module's horizontal position.

  • Z-index - Defines the order of the module in the page layout. Modules with a higher z-index number overlap modules with a lower z-index.

Divi Map Module Position settings

Scroll Effects

This defines how the module behaves upon scrolling. You can make the module sticky (to top, bottom, or top and bottom) and choose if the module transforms upon scrolling.

You can also enable vertical motion on this module, which allows you to adjust the speed at which this element scrolls (making it faster or slower) without affecting the surrounding elements.

The Motion Trigger Effect allows you to choose when the scroll effect you just applied is triggered: when the top of the element is in view, the middle, or the bottom.

Divi Map Module Scroll Effects settings

Save Your Design

Once you are finished styling and configuring the number counter module, click the green arrow at the bottom right of the module to save your design. If you close the module without saving, your work will be lost.

Next, Save the Page Design

To save the page design, you can type CMD + S on a Mac or CTRL + S on a PC. You can also use the bottom Divi toolbar to save your page design by clicking the circle purple icon with the three dots to expand the toolbar and then clicking the green Save button at the bottom right.

Exit the Visual Builder

Now that all your changes are saved, click Exit Visual Builder on the admin toolbar at the top to exit the Visual Builder.
