This plugin adds more control directly inside the Gutenberg block sidebar, so you can overwrite these global defaults for a single `open-user-map/map` block. This is useful when one page needs a different tile style, another map should use a custom marker icon, or individual markers on the same map should use different icons. ### Attention You need to install and activate [Open User Map](https://wordpress.org/plugins/open-user-map/) first. Without it, this plugin has no map block to extend. ### Plugin Features ✔ extends the existing `open-user-map/map` block and does not create a new block ✔ adds a map style dropdown to overwrite the global Open User Map style per block ✔ adds a marker icon dropdown to overwrite the global marker icon per block ✔ supports the default Open User Map marker icons ✔ supports custom PNG marker images from the WordPress media library ✔ adds an option to configure marker icons individually when multiple markers are shown ✔ adds reset buttons to jump back to the global Open User Map defaults ✔ keeps the frontend lightweight and uses the existing Open User Map rendering logic ## Screenshots [⌊Map style and Marker override in the block sidebar⌉⌊Map style and Marker override in the block sidebar⌉[ Map style and Marker override in the block sidebar [⌊Marker icon override works like a repeater field⌉⌊Marker icon override works like a repeater field⌉[ Marker icon override works like a repeater field [⌊Custom build in marker icons⌉⌊Custom build in marker icons⌉[ Custom build in marker icons [⌊Custom PNG marker image selector from the media library⌉⌊Custom PNG marker image selector from the media library⌉[ Custom PNG marker image selector from the media library ## Installation 1.

Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** screen in WordPress. 3. Make sure **Open User Map** is installed and activated. 4.

No, it just extends the existing `open-user-map/map` block. ### Does it change the global Open User Map settings? No. The plugin only stores block-level overrides. Your global Open User Map settings stay untouched. ### Can I use a custom marker image? Yes. Choose `custom image...` in the icon dropdown and then select a PNG image from the media library. ### Why only PNG for custom marker images? PNG files support transparent backgrounds and are the most reliable choice for marker icons in this use case. ### Can I set different icons for individual markers? Yes, when the map contains multiple markers you can choose `change individually...` and assign icons marker by marker. ### Does it load any additional assets in the frontend? No additional frontend libraries are loaded. The plugin mainly extends the block editor UI and hooks into existing Open User Map data. ### What happens when i disable the plugin? You can disable and delete the plugin without harmful effects. The Open User Map block will keep working with the global Open User Map settings. ### Who is the author of the plugin? The WordPress-User “nicmare” vibe coded it. Means he had the idea of the plugin and uses AI to craft the code. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “LMDM Styles for Open User Map” is open source software.
