shortcode not reading?

    Trying this out, like the idea of it. My API seems to be working (refreshing the page increases the google usage request count, no errors).

    However, the ‘stock’ shortcode from the example doesn’t appear to be working… so I am wondering what I am missing. Zoom level makes no difference, and the xml file is not read (no pins showing on map).

    Any tips?

    Can you send me the link to your XML file or just paste your xml file

    Here’s the xml.

<marker name="Some Place" topic="Some Topic" address="1st Street, City, Country" lat="49.8960599" lng="-101.0241226" date="14-Feb-16" contact="" presenter="Mary" type="event"/>

    I figured it out. The issue is the shortcode example given in ‘Step 4’ of the instruction page at https://phpwpinfo.com/wordpress-google-maps-api-plugin/

    The line returns / spaces seem to be corrupting the shortcode. Removing them enabled the shortcode to activate and read the xml file.

    Glad that you figured this out
    I have removed those unnecessary line breaks
