    Hi there,

    I had some questions about the functionality of the map feature on my site.

    I put in the map through the WordPress page builder and selected the option “GD Map” and then the map appeared with my locations and their markers on the map. Yay!

    However, there are some questions I have about the map’s user functionality. In the lower right corner, there’s a box with all the categories listed with bullets next to them, and a box that allows input of text. When the bullets are unchecked, the map remains unchanged, and the text box does not act as a search box.

    Ideally I would like the text box to either act as a search box or not appear, and I would like for categories to hide on the map when unchecked on the bullets.

    Is there something wrong with the map or my input of the map onto the page? Here’s the page link: http://destinationsouthernmaryland.alchemidesign.com/map/

    Unticking a category hides those items on the map, but only if they aren’t in another category, too. Hope that makes sense.

    The Title filter will use the typed text to filter the pins for the title only.

    Both can be hidden in the map advanced options. Choose directory map type and then the blue button to show the advanced options.

    I understand what you’re saying about unticking a category–but is it possible to have the unticking respond only to the primary category rather than all the categories? I hope that makes sense. As an example: if I wanted to hide all lodgings, it would hide those markers from the map even if they fall under other categories. Is that something I can work with in advanced settings?

    Thanks!

    Hi again,

    I’m trying to access the map advanced settings and I don’t see a blue button or anything that says “advanced settings.”

    I generated the map as a WordPress page builder “block” and then converted the page to an Elementor page to do some other customization. Within the block settings when generating the map (after trying to redo the process from the beginning in case Elementor was causing problems), there were no options for anything advanced.

    I also want to change the zoom factor on the map, which I felt like I saw as an option at one point but I can no longer find that. Any thoughts?

    For blocks, the options are in the sidebar.
    Thanks
