BGMP and child theme

Hi Helen,

We’ve been customizing Google Placemarks for a build we’re doing as well. We use the Genesis Framework and built a child theme to work with Genesis so our solution might not work for you.

To customise placemarks the developer (Ian Dunn) recommended creating a functionality plugin to add your code to instead of adding it to your functions.php. Check out this great article on how to get started:

A functionality plugin allows you to test your code to see if it works without breaking the theme. I don’t know if that helps but let me know how you get on!

Even easier to use is this plugin
