You realize that images maps are a throwback to the late 1990s when everyone had same-sized devices and fixed-width web pages, right? Those days are long gone.

Images maps are not responsive on modern websites. Invariably, the hotspot areas drift out of register when the map is re-scaled leading to usability issues as well as user frustration. For this reason we no longer use old fashioned image maps. Quite simply, it won't work for mobile and tablet devices which represent the majority of site visitors.

If you care to explain more about what what you're trying to do, I might have a better solution, one you can implement directly inside WordPress.

My website, magicalduck.com is where I am trying to use an image map as a
hero. I hope to be able to use different images for different seasons
Each picture should have a link because I had some customers complain that
they could not find what was presented.
I now, thanks to you, know why my current image map does not work.
Any help to achieve my goal would be greatly appreciated

Thank you for your help but it will not solve the problem
I still need to look for a way to link individual images over my hero.
Sliders are not made were I can link each image to its product page
Does anyone know of a responsive image map?

Don't be silly. Of course slider/carousel images can link to your product detail pages. Read the documentation.

Alternately, link the static hero image (not an image map) to your "product summary page."

Image maps are not responsive. End of story.
