Map / Map Markers stopped working

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem: I have a map and a View that should display markers on the map, but the markers aren't showing up like expected.

Solution: Make sure the Map Marker shortcode is placed in the View's loop. Check the address field slug to be sure the Marker shortcode is using the correct slug. Check for typos in other Views shortcodes.

Check now, I moved this line into the loop, so you see a marker for each post:

[wpv-map-marker map_id='map-hp' marker_id='marker-[mvp-post-id]' marker_title='Dealer' marker_field='wpcf-street-address']Popup Content[/wpv-map-marker]

Also I changed mvp-post-id to wpv-post-id, I think that was a typo. Finally I changed wpcf-street-address to match the actual field slug wpcf-bus-st-add. Now you can see markers on the map on the homepage. Let me know if I misunderstood what you're trying to accomplish.

Where did you find the actual FIELD SLUG in order to know what is was so you could use it.. ? would be nice if the code returned it instead of something else.

ie. [types field='street-address'][/types]

I went to Toolset > Custom Fields > Post Fields tab, then found the address field. The slug is listed here with the other field information. I'm not sure how the slug and name became out-of-sync. It's a bit confusing because they are so different.
