    Sorry if this is a stupid question but I can’t figure out how to get the shortcode to work. I have the widget activated in my footer sidebar and that’s fine but using the shortcode you provide in the documentation [gmw id=”#”]does not pull the map into my page. Tried replacing the hashtag with numbers but to no avail. Am I missing something obvious? Here is a link to the page with the shortcode inserted under the the words Zen Yoga. http://goo.gl/nUJpkL
    Thanks! Susan

    Hi,
    Have you activated the premium features? If so, open the widget’s shortcode tab and copy/paste the generated shortcode into a new temporary page. Does the map show up?

    Hello,

    I’d like to request to reopen.

    From your last post, “Have you activated the premium features? If so, open the widget’s shortcode tab and copy/paste the generated shortcode into a new temporary page. Does the map show up?”

    I have the pro license. I am unable to locate a generated shortcode anywhere within WordPress. Currently under the Google Maps Widget Pro ‘Settings’, map shortcode only says, “gmw”, and that is that. Obviously, this is not a shortcode to use within the site. How do I generate an operating shortcode?

    Hi,
    Go to appearance – widgets. If you already have a maps widget created there, open it and go to shortcode tab – there’s the shortcode 🙂 If you don’t have a widget you can create one in the hidden sidebar so that it doesn’t show up anywhere on the site except if you use it via shortcode.

    I found it after digging in deeper. Just came here to delete my post and you had already responded. Thanks for the quick reply 🙂
