I will try and respond to any issues you might have.<\/p>\n\n<h4>Comments, Feedback and Request Features<\/h4>\n\n<p>To send any suggestions, comments, or feedback about this plugin send a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ciic.com\/contact-us\/\">message to us<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<!--section=installation-->\n<ol>\n<li>Upload the plugin to the <code>\/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code> directory<\/li>\n<li>Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress<\/li>\n<li>Add shortcode to your post or page where map should appear.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<!--section=faq-->\n<ol>\n<li>Shortcodes what??<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<p>The shortcode you need to use is this:<\/p>\n\n<pre><code>[vsgmap address=\"street address to display\"]\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n<ol>\n<li>What are the options for use with the shortcode?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<p>The following options are available:\naddress=\"street address to display\" (Enter the street address for the location to be shown. NOT a Google Map URL)<\/p>\n\n<p>align=\"left\" (default is left. Valid are left, right, center)<\/p>\n\n<p>width=\"400\" (default is 400. Any pixel dimension is valid)<\/p>\n\n<p>height=\"380\" (default is 380. Any pixel dimension is valid)<\/p>\n\n<p>info_window=\"A\" (default is A which displays marker popup.

It will open an email and the full link will be visible. The cid # is usually easy to see. you only need the part after cid= you do not need the whole thing. You can also try this web page CID Finder: http:\/\/ryanbradley.com\/tools\/google-cid-finder<\/p>\n\n<ol>\n<li>How can I put a border around the map?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<p>The plugin wraps the embed within a div so this can be achieved with with css.\nSimply add the following to your themes style.css\n    .vsg-map iframe { border: 1px solid; }<\/p>\n\n<p>Of course you can change the css any way you like.<\/p>\n\n<!--section=changelog-->\n<h4>2.0<\/h4>\n\n<p>First public and stable version.<\/p>\n\n<h4>2.2<\/h4>\n\n<p>Add the word \"street\" to the description so usage is more clear.<\/p>\n\n<h4>2.3<\/h4>\n\n<p>Update for WP 3.8.1<\/p>\n\n<h4>2.4<\/h4>\n\n<p>Update for WP 3.9<\/p>\n\n<h4>2.5<\/h4>\n\n<p>Added fix to center location point in the map as suggested by user SiNNeD.<\/p>\n\n<h4>2.6<\/h4>\n\n<p>Update for WP 4.2<\/p>\n\n<h4>2.7<\/h4>\n\n<p>Update for WP 4.3<\/p>\n\n<h4>2.8<\/h4>\n\n<p>Added maptype<\/p>\n\n<h4>2.8.2<\/h4>\n\n<p>Update for WP 4.8<\/p>\n\n<h4>2.8.3<\/h4>\n\n<p>Typos fixed as suggested by user G.
