* Hi, I would like to install your plugin but got a couple of questions first:
* a) I bought Unicum on ThemeForest (WP theme) and it works on a framework named
Unyson. If I install your plugin, I will be able to add it to a framework section(
div) as a background?
* b) If I install it and works perfectly, is there an option for the mouse cursor
to drag the map on click? Just like the regular Google Maps works.
* Thank you!
* Aldo

* Hi Aldo,
thanks for your interest in our plugin! ad a) actually I havent seen
an example yet where users have added maps in the background – this could be
achieved (depeding on the theme) by some hacks and workarounds, anyway it is
not recommended. ad b) you can use your mouse/clicks to move the map, yes – have
a try at [https://demo.mapsmarker.com](https://demo.mapsmarker.com) best, Robert

* Hi,
* i used div-containers to set map in background
* example:
* [
mapsmarker layer=”5″]
test
* the first container is for the map with transparenz, the second container is
for the text with the same height so the map cant be zoom or moved.

* Hi,
you need to add pointer-events: none; to your overlay which will allows
clicks on underlying elements. See [http://robertnyman.com/2010/03/22/css-pointer-events-to-allow-clicks-on-underlying-elements/](http://robertnyman.com/2010/03/22/css-pointer-events-to-allow-clicks-on-underlying-elements/)
for more information about this CSS property. best, Robert
