  According to the https://support.wordpress.com/google-maps/ article, when using Block Editor, after entering Google Maps generated code and saving it, it should change to [googlemaps] shortcode. However, it doesn’t in my case.

  I’m using WordPress 5.2.2–pl_PL. I did experiment a bit with various plugins, however, at the moment the [googlemaps] shortcode doesn’t seem to be recognized at all. (When entered directly by a Shortcode block element it just renders the text directly.)

  For the test, I’m having a page where the only block is the ‘Własny HTML’ which I expect to be the ‘Custom HTML’ element. There I tried to paste two versions.

  First is the one created currently by Google Maps:

  Second is the same address but adapted to the form shown in the article:

  Both forms use:
  width=’100%’ height=’550′
  instead of default:
  width=’640′ height=’480′

  Now, the embedded map works fine on the page. Or at least it looks so. However, lack of conversion bothers me so I’m trying to determine why it happens.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi –

  You’ll want to post this in forums for WordPress.org at https://wordpress.org/support/forums/ as you are set up on the open source WordPress.org software.

  There’s also a Gutenberg specific forum at https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/gutenberg/
