This guide will help you to add or change map markers (based on RD Google Map plugin).
In order to add and change map markers, you need to edit .html file which contains the map.
In order to make the necessary changes, you need to follow these steps:
- Get your needed map markers location coordinates. You can do that via Google Maps or any other tool that helps to get map coordinates, like Google Maps – GPS coordinates, latitude and longitude.
- Connect to your server via FTP or open the hosting cPanel File Manager and edit the .html file with the map code (the file is located in the site’s root installation folder).

In case there is no such code in your .html file, you need to look for
<div class"rd-google-map">

<li></li>
html tags and set 2 attributes:data-x
anddata-y

<li></li>
tags will be shown in the marker infowindow upon click on it.
Save changes and upload the edited .html file replacing the existing one. That’s all!
