Using maps as a shortcode
Besides the automatic display of your posts and categories on the map, you can embed your map anywhere on the website by using predefined [mks_map] shortcode.
Use [mks_map type=”posts”] to display all your posts with locations on a single map.
Use [mks_map type=”posts” cat=”2″] if you want to display posts from a specific category only (cat parameter represents the category ID).
Use [mks_map type=”categories”] to display all your categories with locations.
