3,386 PointsMy Google Maps map won't center in WordPress
I just set up a WordPress site and embedded a Google map in a Location page, everything worked, except that it won't center. It stays aligned left no matter what I do. I've gone in and checked the code but can't see anything wrong. I've noticed WP can be glitchy and has a delayed reaction in registering changes sometimes. Maybe it's this.
Here's the code. WordPress has changed the Google Maps iframe code to a shorthand code. And, oh yeah, everything else is centering just fine. Anybody have any ideas?

11,165 PointsAre you using anyJavascript for the google map? The marker is usually ventured through Js.
There is a plug in for WordPress called Advanced Custon Fields which is what we use at work on a daily basis. There's some handy info on there for the google maps.

3,386 PointsOh, thanks for that info. I ended up just taking a screen shot of the map and putting that in, which centered correctly. But, of course, I'd rather have the working Google map link. I'll definitely take a look at the plug in you mention.
