Insert the url of page where the visitor will be redirected after adding the marker to the ‘redirect_to’ attribute (https://www.wpgmaps.com/demo/visitor-generated-markers/ in the example below).

Step 4 (optional) Remove the VGM form from the map page

If the ‘redirect_to’  attribute will redirected to the map where the marker was added, remove the vgm form on that page by adding the following attribute to the map shortcode disable_vgm_form="1" e.g.

Your page should now display the Map and markers only.
