In WP Go Maps, create a new Map

This is the Map where all configured Custom field locations will be displayed
- Navigate to WP Go Maps -> Maps -> and select Add New
- Navigate WP Go Maps -> Maps (in edit mode of you new map) -> Settings -> General , enter Map Name in this case we'll call it "ACF Display map"
- Save Map
Enable Advanced Custom Fields at the following location.
WP Go MAPS -> Maps (edit the ACF Display Map) -> Settings -> Integrations
Select The Page Post Type
Then click Save Map to save your settings.
Add the "ACF Display map" to a new page in WordPress
Your Advanced Custom Fields locations will now be visible on the front end on your WP Go Maps map.
The integrated marker has a link back to the page this ACF location was created on, and will pull itβs title, from the page title, the page featured image as the marker image and the page content as the marker description.
The above tutorial shows how to display your markers dynamically, pulling the data in real time from an integration source.
If you want to import your data to work on it within our plugin, as opposed to dynamically integrating the markers, please navigate to
WP Go MAPS -> Tools -> Import -> Advanced Custom Fields
Please note at present there is no way to export your markers back to the source from which they originated.
