  When writing a Blog post, there is an option to ‘show location’. I have clocked this for each post, but it does not show up. How do I get this ‘map / location’ showing per blog ?

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

  Hey Piloti001
  When you are trying to add the location, are you clicking the more options module, then either letting your device get it’s own location OR manually entering the info after clicking the more info? Clicking the map won’t do it.

  According to https://en.support.wordpress.com/geotagging/ the location selected for that post, stays with that post.

  Hi dave2swords.
  You are 100% correct, that is exactly what I am doing, as described in the link you added. However, the geo-tag is not added to a post. I’ve added a link so you can see : https://dummy74.wordpress.com/2017/03/06/a-danish-romp/

  Do I need to add a particular widget or something else to enable the map to be seen ?
  Cheerio.

  Hello again!
  I tried it and it worked for me! BUT….

  I had to drag the map from the location in the sidebar into the post. I just did this quickly but the end result was:

  Try dragging it to where you want it in the post and see if that works for you. If not c’mon back and we will poke at it some more.
