Progress Map Ultimate is distributed as a single installable ZIP from your progress-map.com account (after purchase). Install only this plugin. Do not activate the old Progress Map Pro plugin or standalone add-ons at the same time.
Before you begin
- WordPress admin access (Administrator role)
- PHP and WordPress versions compatible with the current Ultimate release (see the product page / changelog)
- If you already run Progress Map Pro or any Progress Map add-on on the site, plan to deactivate them after Ultimate is active — see Migration
Install from your account ZIP
- Log in to your account on progress-map.com and download Progress Map Ultimate (installable WordPress ZIP).
- In WordPress, go to Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin.
- Choose the ZIP file and click Install Now.
- Click Activate.
WordPress will load the Ultimate bootstrap, which includes the core map engine and all bundled modules.
After activation
You should see Progress Map menus in the admin (maps, settings, and Ultimate-specific screens such as Ultimate Modules and About Ultimate).
Complete these next:
- Activate your license
- Add your Google Maps API key
- Connect your post types
- Follow First steps to publish a map
Important: one plugin only
| Situation | What to do |
|---|---|
| Fresh site | Install and activate Ultimate only |
| Pro + add-ons already installed | Activate Ultimate, then deactivate conflicting plugins when prompted (or manually under Plugins) |
| Both Ultimate and Pro active | Unsupported — deactivate Pro and standalone extensions |
Map posts, location meta, and most settings live in the WordPress database. Switching to Ultimate does not require recreating your maps from scratch when migrating correctly.
Folder name
After install, the plugin directory is typically progress-map-ultimate. You do not need a separate codespacing-progress-map plugin folder for production use of Ultimate.
