Configure the plugin under Appearance - Widgets == Frequently Asked Questions == = Who is this plugin for? = For just about anyone who needs a map on their site. = Thumbnail map works but lightbox won't open on click = You most probably have Fancybox JS and CSS files included twice; once by the theme and second time by GMW plugin. Remove one instance of files. If that's not the case then you have a fatal JS error thats preventing execution of other JS code. Hit F12 in Firefox or Chrome and have a look at the debug console. If there are any red lines - it's a fatal error. Open a new thread in the support forums but please bear in mind that support is community based and we do this in our spare time. = It's not working!!! Arrrrrrrrr = A more detailed help is coming soon. Till then check 2 things: does your theme have wp_footer() function call in the footer and if there are any jQuery errors on the site. If you can figure it out open a thread in the support forums. == Screenshots == 1. Small map is shown as a widget and since it's just one image it loads super-fast 2. Larger map with all features is available in the lightbox 3. Widget options - thumbnail map 4.
