Title: Show a map not with shortcode Last modified: August 22, 2016 --- # Show a map not with shortcode * Resolved [gringom](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gringom/) * (@gringom) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/show-a-map-not-with-shortcode/) * I need to add a map right after the tag, so then I can manipulate it to open and close with a click, above the div content. I think I can’t call the map with a shortcode so how can I call google maps builder hardcoding it in my template? * Or maybe another way? * Thank you. * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/google-maps-builder/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/google-maps-builder/) Viewing 1 replies (of 1 total) * Plugin Author [Matt Cromwell](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webdevmattcrom/) * (@webdevmattcrom) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/show-a-map-not-with-shortcode/#post-5709840) * Hi [@gringom](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gringom/), * To output a shortcode in your template, use WordPress’s function called `do_shortcode` You can read about that (here)[http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/ do_shortcode] * So in our case you would add this: `do_shortcode('[google_maps id="1"]')` * Just make sure to use the actual shortcode attributes you want instead of the id=1 that I put as an example. * Thanks!
