Thanks for the plugin recommendation, and for sending me the link for contractors!

I just had a couple more questions and I think I'm good to go. The same way you sent me the shortcode with the HTML wrapped for the phone number, is there also a way to do that for maps? Meaning, I want inside the fields and text block to wrap the shortcode for the address of the location in a clickable a href shortcode so that users can get sent straight to Google Maps.

Thank You!

Hi,

Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.

To create a dynamic Google Maps link, using the address type field, you can use:


 <a href="<em><u>hidden link</u></em> field='post-address'][/types]" target="_blank">View on map</a>

Note: Please replace "post-address" with the actual slug of your address type field.

regards,
Waqar
