Overview

This plugin simply packages the RWD Image Maps jQuery plugin for use in WordPress, providing an easy way to make image maps responsive in a WordPress theme.

This plugin is licensed under the GPLv2, and the jQuery plugin is licensed under the MIT license.

Javascript Warning

It goes without saying, but the RWD Image Maps jQuery plugin requires javascript to be enabled in the user’s browser for it to work its magic.

Need Help?

If you have questions or problems with the RWD Image Maps jQuery plugin itself (not the WordPress wrapper for it), go to the jQuery RWD Image Maps plugin page on GitHub.

Perfect, saved me a lot of time.
by kahlidah·3 years ago

I had created an image map with pure html on wordpress, and it was perfect except for the responsive scaling. I thought I was in for a whole redo of it all, but I installed this plug in and all I had to was activate it and bang..everything scaling perfect without me having to do a thing. Thank you so much for this. I hope it continues to work with future wp updates and will check on that when needed, but for now, its works perfectly.

Awesome

This is the one and only such kind of plugin
August 2020, WordPress 5.5, still perfect

No longer works afaict
by pcnoggin·6 years ago·4 replies

I couldn’t tell you which version but after one of the latest updates to WordPress, the plugin no longer works for me.

It was bound to happen. Email warnings have been issued by WordPress for some time. It hasn’t been tested for the last three major releases of WordPress.

Looks as though the plugin development and support has been completely abandoned from looking at the support tickets.

I have a simple site using this plugin so it’s not likely to be an issue of a conflict with another plugin. Still could be something on my end but … my take: find another avenue to explore. This is not the plugin you are looking for.

Invaluable plugin
by ngreeves·6 years ago

I was looking for a solution for responsive image maps inside WordPress as a new user. It works beautifully.
My only concern is that it hasn’t been updated for a long time. It works just fine at present and I hope future versions don’t break it.
