Shortcode options | Map List Pro

You don’t need to manually set shortcode options to get a map on your site – you can do this easily using the shortcode wizard.

In case you do need to manually edit any shortcode options the full range of options available are below:

Normally you shouldn’t need to manually create or edit the shortcode, but if you do, below is a list of all of the available shortcode attributes along with what they do and examples. A few of these haven’t made it into the shortcode wizard yet, and can only be set manually. The default shortcode which shows all locations looks like this:

[maplist simplesearch=”true” locationsperpage=”3″]
