Q&A About Shortcodes

01. How do I use Map View shortcode to show the nearest event site to my website visitors?

First, you need to enable Geolocation feature in Map View shortcode. Then, on the front-end of your website, where you have placed the map shortcode, the end-users should be allowed access to the event location on their browser.
