    So I am new to wordpress, so please please humor me and help me out!
    I’m using Caldera Forms to input an address, and saving it under the variable name “address”. When I submit the form, the URL looks like https://gospontaneity.com/diningout/?cf_id=45&address=chicago which leads me to believe that my variable is working, and the current value is “chicago”. Now I want to use this variable to output a google map of Chicago. I have various plugins that allow me to use shortcode to create a map, but I can’t figure out how to insert the variable into it. For example, I am using the shortcode [map addr=”address”][/map], which normally shows a map of whatever is in quotes – but its not working. HELP!?

    Hi there,

    You got the variable usage correct as you know its working, but the problem is that the map shortcode has no idea that address is tied to the URL. What you need is something to convert the URL GET value to the shortcode.
