Hi, I’m working on a site using your Olympic theme (www.ymcaalbany.org) and I’m trying to add a map to one of the pages using this shortcode plugin. When I copy/paste the shortcode from your tutorial page on your website ( http://www.cssigniter.com/ignite/ci-shortcodes/ ) it works great, but whenever I try to use a url generated from Google Maps’ website it comes up blank. I’m wondering if Google updated something that this plugin doesn’t support? Here’s the specific page I’m working on: http://www.ymcaalbany.org/our-y/ Thanks in advance for your help! Alex https://wordpress.org/plugins/cssigniter-shortcodes/ Hi there, the shortcode doesn’t really play with the new Google Maps, as Google now disallows direct embedding. In order for the shortcode to work, you need to visit the classic google maps, i.e. https://www.google.com/maps?output=classic Once you find the place that you want shown, click on the chain button and copy the first URL shown (not the iframe one). Also, please do NOT shorten the URL. This is probably the shortcode that you need for your website. [googlemap src="https://www.google.com/maps?q=3311+Pacific+Blvd+SW,+Albany+OR+97321&hl=en&ll=44.610451,-123.109188&spn=0.016559,0.038581&sll=37.09024,-95.712891&sspn=37.683309,79.013672&hnear=3311+Pacific+Blvd+SW,+Albany,+Oregon+97321-7707&t=m&z=15" /] Let me know how everything turns out.
