Import / export maps

Maps are a custom post type. Move them between WordPress sites with the core Export / Import tools.

Export (source site)

  1. Log in to the site that already has maps.
  2. Go to Tools → Export.
  3. Select PM. Maps (or the Progress Map maps post type label shown in your install).
  4. Click Download Export File and save the XML.

Import (destination site)

  1. Install Progress Map Ultimate and activate your license.
  2. Go to Tools → Import.
  3. If needed, install the WordPress importer, then Run Importer.
  4. Upload the XML file.
  5. Assign imported authors to an existing user (or create one).
  6. Submit and wait for completion.

Verify

  1. Open Progress Map → All Maps.
  2. Edit a map and confirm settings, query, and shortcode ID.
  3. Note: post IDs may change after import — update shortcodes on pages ([cspm_main_map id="…"]).
  4. Re-check the Google API key on the destination site.
  5. Purge caches and view the front end.

Tips

  • Exporting maps does not export your location posts — see Import / export locations.
  • Module-specific data stored outside the map CPT (e.g. Advanced Search forms) needs a separate export.
  • For Ultimate migrations from CodeCanyon stacks, see Migration.
