    Hi there,

    in advance: Awesome Theme and great work. It’s fun to work with! Thanks so much.

    But I have a small Problem:
    I want to insert a GoogleMap to the Footer of my Website… If I try via “Customize” to change the Footer and insert any Shortcode (from the GoogleMaps WordPress Plugin) it just shows me the plain Text (“[shortcodeText]”) instead of the Map itself… I tried several plugins with shortcodes and it seems that the Footer is “out of the loop” and cannot ‘solve’ Shortcodes… Is there any way to place a GoogleMap in the footer? (iFrame did not work for me too :()

    Thanks so much in advance for any help/tipp

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hello, @juliankuduski!

    Thank you for your kind comments about Portfolio Gallery theme!

    Unfortunately, the text widgets do not run shortcodes of plugins. However, if your Google Map plugin provides a widget, you can place it in Footer Widget Area.

    Go to Appearance > Widgets page to configure it.

    Or in case it doesn’t have a widget map, you can use our Google Maps WD plugin, which does provide this feature.

    Let me know in case you have questions.
    Thanks! Have a great day!

    Thanks so much it worked!

    Is there a way to extend the footer width to the full screen?

    Hi, @juliankuduski!

    Could you please try adding the following CSS code to Additional CSS option in Appearance > Customize?

    .widget-footer {
    float: none !important;
    max-width: 100% !important;
}

    Note, that you might need to resize the map dimensions afterwards. Let us know if this works.
    Cheers!

    Hi WD Support,

    Thanks for your fast Response.
    Sadly the Code just changed the footer to 100% width of the content-area… Is there a way to stretch it even over the sidebar?
