  • Address/GPS:ย Insert the address or GPS coordinates of the location you want to mark. The plugin will place the marker on the map based on this setting. If the placed marker is not in the exact position that you want, you can drag it to the preferred location. This is the only required field on this settings panel.

  • Sticky: Selecting this checkbox will ensure your marker always displays at the top of Marker Listings
