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.
