Wow, I can’t believe I let a typo like that through, thanks for catching it for me.

As far as your your custom template code, I think that this might work, but I haven’t tested it.

<?php
$meta = get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'custom-meta-value', true);
if (!empty($meta)) {
	echo do_shortcode('[simple-map]' . $meta . '[/simple-map]');
}
?>

This is the function I’m using to get meta values from posts. https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Function_Reference/get_post_meta

That’s a stange issue, I haven’t seen that before. Could you send me a link to where I can see this behaviour in action?

Also, could you double-check that you’re using the plugin correctly? I’ve got a page of samples in case that might help: https://simple-maps.wiffin.com/samples/

That is funny. I guess it just comes down to preference. I prefer the simplicity of the Google API to the functionality of the Bing API.

Thanks for the feedback and support!

I’ve set up some samples on this page https://simple-maps.wiffin.com/samples/ that demonstrate the functionality, and linked to it from the FAQ.

To be honest, I hadn’t even considered adding support for Bing Maps. The Bing API isn’t anywhere near as developer friendly, so I’d have to set up an entire admin panel for maintaining API keys, it goes against the simplicity I was trying to achieve with this plugin.

If Bing ever streamlines their API, or if it turns out that there is a lot of demand for the feature, it might make it’s way in as a feature, but I can’t see it happening anytime soon, sorry.

Thank you for your input though. I do want to make this as useful a plugin for as many people as possible.
