As I’ve never used the plugin, I’m not sure what is supposed to happen. I see a tiny empty bubble on the bottom left.

It doesn’t do that with me. And it doesn’t show the marker in the first tab, when i create one in the 4th tab and activate it in the 1st. Is that intended? * Plugin Author [MiKa](https://wordpress.org/support/users/photoweblog/) * (@photoweblog) * [7 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/empty-map-view/#post-11426867) * [@zwarwiescheidsolingen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zwarwiescheidsolingen/) 1.) It might be supposed but not supported, to change the map online 😉 2.) Markers stored in the 4th tab are not shown in the first tab but only when you see the preview of your post / page. * Both is planned for a long time and will come – once. * Thread Starter [zwarwiescheidsolingen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zwarwiescheidsolingen/) * (@zwarwiescheidsolingen) * [7 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/empty-map-view/#post-11426874) * 1.) I didn’t mean to change it on the final page where the shortcode is displayed. I want to CREATE a map with another map type. No matter what map type i choose, the preview window always shows the same openstreetmap * 2.) understood. how can i change a maraker once i created it, and after i left the page? it doesn’t show up anywhere anymore.
