Hi,

Re: http://v2.studentflat.co.nz > Whoop theme

Q. Why does the gd_map shortcode not work properly when cat_filter is enabled ?

Please see our homepage code below, you will notice additional places show on the map when the cat_filter is enabled, which does not make sense to us.

Regards

Mike

Hi mike,

Thanks for your post. Could you try changing the parameters from ‘true’ to ‘1’ and ‘false’ to ‘0’ as shown in the attached image and see if it helps?

Thanks!

Hi Alex, these are using single quotes. Will try with double quotes.. Mike

Replaced with double-quotes, to no avail. We imported these listings from V1. New listings show on the map, not sure why some are missing when we add cat_filter..

Are you using the shortcode builder? Try using that to make a fresh shortcode.

Hi Alex,

We don’t use the shortcode builder.

In block view ‘GD > Map’ advanced settings does not display all parameters, hence we specify the shortcode as HTML.

Q. Is this due to our data, is there something we have to do to our data to have that filter work as expected?

Regards

Mike

Blocks should work exactly the same as shortcodes or widgets. We can take a look at that for you, just share WP Admin credentials in a private reply with a link to the page where the map should be placed.

After looking at your shortcode, I think I know what the issue is. In the block, try selecting map type = directory. Then you will see the appropriate adavnced options. The shortcode you used has archive map options that won’t work in a directory map.
```
[gd_map width="100%" height="425px" maptype="ROADMAP" zoom="0" map_type="directory" post_settings="1" post_type_filter="1" cat_filter="1"]
```
If you want to use shortcodes, you will need to use the shortcode builder. You can always find one in the CPT tabs:

Places – Settings – Tabs – Add shortcode, use the builder, then remove the field

Hi Alex,

I see you are still editing and have added another map, however I still don’t see a map with the filter and all the pins as expected..

There are many many listings without location. The map will not work correctly while some listings do not have required data filled in.

You can export them for bulk edit. Every listing needs a location and at least one category.
