Hi Barry (@barrypersonalctonet),
Thank you for getting in touch, we do appreciate your time.
Absolutely, I’ve prepared that for you on a Gist link here: Map Theme
I hope this helps?

Thanks, that works great.
On an unrelated note, I followed this link in your documentation section: https://docs.wpgmaps.com/xb0e-marker-filtering#v2sQR and got a “Content Not Found” error page. With the customizations I made to the theme, if I want to enable filtering, I think I saw something that said filtering requires the “Marker Render Mode” be set to “Advanced Marker”, but I ran into problems (similar to this: https://www.wpgmaps.com/forums/topic/preset-map-styles-not-working/) with that mode interfering with the map theme getting loaded. Will I be able to have the theme I want and also do the marker filtering, assuming I can see the documentation for that?

Hey Barry (@barrypersonalctonet),
Fantastic, I’m glad to hear that has helped. Sorry for the trouble with our documentation link, I’ve made a note of that on my side.
Here’s the updated link instead:
You should have access to both interfaces, however, during installation the plugin would have automatically selected one for you. You can confirm which interface you are running under Maps > Settings > Build. Atlas Novus is a newer layout with a few additional features, which will eventually become the default, as a point of reference.
Regards the marker render mode, it is not necessary to switch to the Advanced Marker option. Filtering is handled on the server side, meaning the render mode doesn’t effect how filtering works within the plugin.
With that said, we would recommend using Default in most cases. The Advanced Marker option is still in early development, provided for those who would like to experiment with it, but internally considered unstable.
I hope that helps?

Thanks again. The link to the Category Filtering page for Atlas Novus Interface is still broken, but the one for the legacy interface works, and that’s what I am using now so that is fine.
Is it possible to adjust the position of the category filtering radio buttons to go below the map instead of above it? I could not find a setting for that, but since the settings are split between the general plugin settings and the map settings it is a bit confusing.
Hi Barry (@barrypersonalctonet),
Interesting that the documentation link isn’t working for you, it is working as expected on my side. We are in the process of moving to a new documentation system which may explain why access is intermittent for some documents.
Unfortunately, in Legacy, it’s not possible to move the category filter below the map independently. However, if you switch to our store locator, with category filtering, you can move the store locator below the map instead.
To do so, you can disable the category filtering under Maps > Edit (your map) > Marker Listing > Disable Category Filtering. Then, switch to Store Locator > Enable > And also enable “Allow category selection“. This is the same tool, but links it to the store locator.
After that is complete, you will see a Store Locator Placement position in that same tab to control above/below map placement.
These are some of the limitations of our Legacy build at the moment, and it is one of the reasons we started developing Atlas Novus, which allows for more modular placement of each component.

Ok thanks. I looked at the Store Locator and it doesn’t really fit what we are trying to do, so we will live with what’s there for now and see if we can switch to Atlas Novus at some point in the future.
Thanks Barry, if you are interested in getting some help setting up Atlas Novus, you can open a support ticket on our website and I can assist you with that directly.
