 * Hi
    Not sure if I’m missing something but having set up my Google Maps API, Property
   Hive is able to show the location in the admin backend but if I put the [property_map]
   shortcode into the descriptions area it does not display the map on the listings
   page – it just displays the shortcode as text e.g. test property at [https://belaviva.com/property/test-property-extended-1930s-semi-detached/](https://belaviva.com/property/test-property-extended-1930s-semi-detached/)
   Do I still need to do something to enable map display or add the shortcode to
   somewhere else in the backend. Thanks for a great plugin!

 * Hi there,
 * Thanks for getting in touch. So it looks like you’re just trying to add the shortcode
   into the summary/excerpt box. I’ve not seen this before and after doing some 
   research, it looks like shortcodes aren’t automatically parsed if entered into
   the excerpt (though there is a workaround for this).
 * I think there are two options. If you want to append the map to the end of the
   details page we have an example of this on this page here (see bottom):
 * [https://docs.wp-property-hive.com/developer-guide/using-actions/](https://docs.wp-property-hive.com/developer-guide/using-actions/)
 * Or alternatively if you want o keep putting it into the summary/excerpt box manually
   for each property, I’ve found this thread here:

 * Any questions regarding the above just let me know,
    Steve

 * Hi Steve
    Thanks for your reply (happy 2020 BTW) Before I start digging around
   in actions etc, is there somewhere I should be adding the [property_map] shortcode
   rather than in the **Property Summary Description** box which I take is an item
   specific to PropertyHive? Thanks again
