# Map Search shortcode and Responsive layout

 * I am using the Optima Express IDX plugin on a client’s site and am having an 
   issue with putting the shortcode for the map search into a widget area. I have
   the shortcode in correctly and it is displaying so long as I have the layout 
   in the IDX control panel set to Fixed but as soon as I switch to responsive the
   map is blank. The Location box, Refine Search link, and the Start Over button
   still appear correctly but nothing is shown on the map.
 * The shortcode I am using is just the standard
    `[optima_express_map_search][/
   optima_express_map_search]` This should work to show a map in a sidebar widget
   area.
 * When I inspect element it does however tell me that on main.js:55 it is calling
   an undefined function. This is found in maps.gstatic.com. Is this something that
   I have broken or is it really just not working as intended?

 * Hello,
 * By default, WordPress does render shortcode that is entered into a widget area.
   There are some plugins that will render the shortcode but generally our shortcode
   is intended to be added inside of the page / post editor.
 * Also, the sample shortcode you provided is not exactly how ours should look.
 * Please review this [guide](http://support.ihomefinder.com/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/154/21/adding-shortcodes-using-the-shortcode-selector)
   for further information on how to insert shortcode into a page / post.
 * These [guides](http://support.ihomefinder.com/index.php?/Knowledgebase/List/Index/20/widgets)
   will provide more info on the available widgets.
 * If you have any further questions, please contact us [here](http://www.ihomefinder.com/support/).
