## Description

Tired of sitemap plugins that break your theme design, inject messy CSS, or force
you to use styles that don’t match your brand?

**Socrates MAP** was built to solve that.

We created an intelligent visual engine that acts like a chameleon: it scans your
website, detects your CSS variables, respects your page builder typography, and 
renders a perfect, ultra-lightweight and optimized structure.

**Deploy your sitemap in 3 steps:**

 1. Go to _Map Designs_ and choose your template (Classic Tree or Simple List — both
    free).
 2. In _Pages / Settings_ hide the pages you don’t want to show.
 3. Copy and paste the shortcode `[mapa_de_sitio_web]` into any page or post.

**What does the free version include?**

 * **Classic Tree** — vertical hierarchical layout, perfect for corporate and formal
   websites.
 * **Simple List** — lightweight rendering with native bullets, ideal for footers
   or minimalist sitemaps.
 * Page visibility control — hide pages from the map without affecting your SEO.
 * Support for multiple sources: all pages or specific navigation menus.
 * Fully compatible with Elementor, Divi, WPBakery, Gutenberg and any theme.
 * Simple shortcode: `[mapa_de_sitio_web]`
 * Internationalized: Spanish, English and Brazilian Portuguese included.
 * Lightweight, no external dependencies, no external services.

**Want more? The PRO version (available at socrates.cl) includes:**

 * 10 additional templates: Card Grid, Columns View, Dark Mode, Minimalist, Compact,
   3D Isometric, Bento Grid, Dynamic Flow, Neomorphism and Timeline.
 * Click analytics — discover which pages generate the most interaction.
 * SVG icon or custom image injection per page.
 * Dynamic page renaming without affecting URLs or SEO.
 * Custom CSS from the panel — without touching theme files.
 * Analytics export to CSV.
 * Up to 3 active domains (Lifetime plan).

## FAQ

### Does the plugin affect my SEO?

No. The sitemap generated by this plugin is visual and intended for your website
visitors. It is not an XML sitemap for search engines. Visibility changes are purely
cosmetic and do not modify your URLs, real page titles, or any SEO metadata.

### Is it compatible with my theme or page builder?

Yes. Socrates MAP automatically detects your theme’s CSS variables to adapt to its
typography and color palette. It has been tested with Elementor, Divi, WPBakery,
Avada, Astra, GeneratePress, and the WordPress block editor (Gutenberg).

### How do I use the shortcode?

Paste `[mapa_de_sitio_web]` into any page, post, or text widget. The map will render
automatically using your selected default template.

### Can I hide pages from the map?

Yes. In the _Pages / Settings_ tab you can disable the visibility of any page. This
only affects the visual map — the page still exists on your site and in search engines.

### Does the plugin connect to any external service?

No. The free version is entirely self-contained. It does not connect to any external
server, API, or third-party service. All data is stored locally in your WordPress
database.

### How do I get the PRO version?

The PRO version is a separate plugin available for purchase at [socrates.cl](https://socrates.cl/socrates-map-pro/).
It is not included in this free version and must be installed separately.

### Do I need to clear my cache after saving changes?

Yes. If you use a caching plugin (WP Rocket, LiteSpeed Cache, W3 Total Cache, etc.)
you must clear it after saving any changes for them to appear on the frontend.
