- How is the maps button created?
-
The address is built with a Google Maps URL query. Your entered location (address or GPS coord) values are constructed into a link like so:
https://maps.google.com/?q=( street, city, province/state, country, postal/zip or latitude,longitude)
If you’re having troubles with your address, please be sure your business listing is correct on google.com/maps first, or use the GPS Coordinates option in the plugin.
If your google.com/maps/ listing is incorrect, don’t hesitate talking to Google about it, in our experience, they’re eager to resolve map issues.
- What Format For GPS Coordinates?
-
Please use the decimal degrees format (
dd.ddddd
) for GPS coordinates. Do not enter the degree symbol or N/E/S/W direction mention or commas. For example, Kamloops BC Canada would be:Latitude:
50.6745
Longitude:-120.3273
- The buttons are hiding my footer
-
This should not happen, but is due to a CSS conflict between the plugin and your theme. Please open a support request and share the support code (found on the plugins setting page), we’ll try to resolve the issue for your site/theme asap.
- The buttons are appearing above lightbox / popups
-
See z-index below.
- Advanced Options: z-index
-
Absolute positioned elements on websites can be layered on top of one another using the CSS property
z-index
. This plugin has the buttons on az-index
of998
. It’s at this number as most popup’s and lightbox’s use999
or higher.If your theme has something hidden behind the buttons, or the buttons are above something like Lightbox, try altering this number higher or lower.
- Advanced Options: Append to body
-
This plugin puts itβs HTML at the bottom of a page using WordPress’s
wp_footer
hook. As specified by WordPress:the
wp_footer
action. Put this template tag immediately before</body>
tag in a theme templateSome theme authors, for whatever their reason, ignore this, wrapping
wp_footer()
in a few elements, causing problems for plugins like this that expect it in a certain place.Selecting the Move plugin to absolute bottom option, Javascript will edit the DOM and move the plugin to be at the absolute bottom of your theme, regardless of where the Theme author placed wp_footer hook.
- Advanced Options: Number Sanitizing
-
Select this option to prevent the plugin from re-formatting your phone number. By default if you enter a value like
1 (555) 555 - 5555
For maximum browser compatibility, the plugin will sanitize the phone number to
1-555-555-5555
This sometimes effects Google Adwords phone numbers that expect a certain phone number format.

This is your WordPress setup, you may copy/paste it out when needing help troubleshooting your site in the support forums.
