How is the maps button created?

The location is built with a Google Maps URL. Your entered location values are constructed using either the address fields or GPS coordinates. If you add a Google Place ID, the plugin appends it to the Maps URL to help Google identify the exact destination.

What format should I use for GPS coordinates?

Use decimal degrees format, such as 50.6745 for latitude and -120.3273 for longitude. Do not enter degree symbols or N/E/S/W letters.

Why are the buttons hiding my footer?

This is usually a theme CSS conflict. Try adjusting the z-index setting or enable the append-to-body option.

What does the number sanitizing option do?

By default, the plugin cleans the phone number for safer and more consistent tel: links. Enable this option only if your phone number format must be preserved.

How is this so popular when it's no optimized for mobile screens?

By wpdeveloper15 on June 13, 2018

Does what it is supposed to but could be much better. The text size is not optimized for the smallest screen width (320px). At this size, the text from the "Directions" button get's pushed below the button background because there isn't enough width for the text and the icon on the button. So I had to write new CSS to make the font-size on the buttons smaller. I think this is a big issue because this plugin is made to improve mobile UX, but it end ups looking like poor development on the smallest phones. Also, the map should open in a modal or something. Right now it opens in a new window which will see some traffic leave the original site completely.

Great and Recommended

Gefällt mir sehr: Option für einen Karten-Link. Gestalterisch etwas gefälliger als die meisten anderen, die ich angesehen habe.

Nothing Else Like It
