Title: remove "Google Maps Plugin" link below map Last modified: August 22, 2016 --- # remove "Google Maps Plugin" link below map * Resolved [WPwebshop](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpwebshop/) * (@wpwebshop) * [11 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-google-maps-plugin-link-below-map/) * I was wondering how to remove the “Google Maps Plugin” link which points to [http://readyshoppingcart.com/product/google-maps-plugin/](http://readyshoppingcart.com/product/google-maps-plugin/)– located below every map? I couldn’t find any option, and this should be voluntary IMO. * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/google-maps-ready/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/google-maps-ready/) Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total) * Plugin Author [google-maps-plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/google-maps-plugin/) * (@google-maps-plugin) * [11 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-google-maps-plugin-link-below-map/#post-5322498) * Hello.

Often such links can be easily removed with a small filter. * Thread Starter [WPwebshop](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpwebshop/) * (@wpwebshop) * [11 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-google-maps-plugin-link-below-map/#post-5322500) * [@google](https://wordpress.org/support/users/google/) Maps Plugin: I would rather remove it myself, again it should be an option not something obligatory * [@jan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jan/): check for example this map: [http://www.vcacursus.nl/cursus/locaties/](http://www.vcacursus.nl/cursus/locaties/) and you will see the link below the map on the right bottom. There is no option in the plugin settings AFAIK, would be great if there’s a function to remove such links 🙂 * Thread Starter [WPwebshop](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpwebshop/) * (@wpwebshop) * [11 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-google-maps-plugin-link-below-map/#post-5322501) * also [@google](https://wordpress.org/support/users/google/) Maps Plugin; this link is against the terms of WordPress, see [https://wordpress.org/plugins/about/faq/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/about/faq/) * “Powered By” links All links on the forward facing aspect of a website must be “Opt In.” This means your plugin may not default to link back to your site, or any other, on the part of the website that visitors see. * Moderator [Jan Dembowski](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jdembowski/) * (@jdembowski) * Forum Moderator and Brute Squad * [11 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-google-maps-plugin-link-below-map/#post-5322502) * I couldn’t wait and installed the plugin on my test setup. * [@google-maps-plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/google-maps-plugin/) your plugin adds this HTML to the output. * ``` Google Maps Plugin ``` * Which isn’t permitted per the plugin guidelines. * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/about/guidelines/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/about/guidelines/) * See the item about * > 10.

There have been several versions released since this was marked as Resolved, yet the link still exists in the current version, which is either 1.2.5.4 as displayed on the wordpress.org plug-in directory page, or 1.2.7 as shown on the installed plug-in. * [jason_mission](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jason_mission/) * (@jason_mission) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-google-maps-plugin-link-below-map/#post-5322771) * Hello, * I also have this issue. I have not been able to determine how to remove the links. I cannot use this on a professional site.
