  Good evening, I would like to create a map plotting the locations of all my posts and display it for example in a sidebar. Is that possible? Is there any widget or plugin available for that?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  If you create a map in Google maps you can then embed it in a text widget using the Google maps shortcode.

  Thank you! How can I set it to automatically add locations from new posts? Is that possible?

  You can’t do it automatically through WordPress.com, you’ll have to edit your Google map each time you post to include the new location.

  I’ve been looking for a workaround and I’ve found a way, using IFTTT, to store your post data to a Google Sheet, but I haven’t yet managed to make the sheet automatically update a map. If I come up with anything I’ll let you know.
