Redirect to the single post on marker click

By default, marker click usually opens an infobox, popup, or media format. This recipe forces a redirect / new window to the single post when a marker is clicked.

Add to your child theme functions.php (or a snippets plugin):

/**
 * Open the single post when a Progress Map marker is clicked.
 */
function cspm_redirect_on_marker_click_event( $default, $map_id ) {

	$output = "
		plugin_map.gmap3({
			exec: {
				name: 'marker',
				all: true,
				func: function(data){
					var marker = data.object;
					var post_id = marker.post_id;
					var post_link = progress_map_vars.links_" . $map_id . "[post_id];
					marker.addListener('click', function(){
						window.open(post_link);
					});
				}
			}
		});
	";

	echo $output;
}
add_filter( 'cspm_after_map_load', 'cspm_redirect_on_marker_click_event', 10, 2 );

Notes

  • window.open(post_link) opens a new tab/window. Use window.location.href = post_link; for same-tab navigation.
  • If you only need this on one map, wrap the JS echo in if ( (string) $map_id === '55' ) (your map ID).
  • This can conflict with infobox-on-click — disable overlapping behaviours or accept both firing.
  • Prefer admin “Post URL” / modal settings when they already cover your case — see Open post in modal.
