I want to create a post including a map (Places tagged: pier | Gwulo). It should look like Pillboxes in Hong Kong | Gwulo. Unfortunately, I don't know how to do it.

First you need to know the ID for the tag you're going to use. If you move your mouse over Places tagged: pier | Gwulo you'll see the link is https://gwulo.com/taxonomy/term/1194/places-map. The number is the ID for the tag, in this case: 1194

Next, here's what I see when I edit the page for Pillboxes in Hong Kong | Gwulo:

As the map below shows, pillboxes were built in many places around Hong Kong Island and in the New Territories. (The map below is 'live': you can drag it around with your mouse, click the +/- buttons to zoom in and out, and click the Map/ Satellite/ Hybrid buttons to change the appearance of the map.)

[view:taxonomy_term_places=page_1=82]

For more information about a pillbox, either click its marker on the map, or click its name in the list below. Your are welcome to add another place - just remember to give it the tag pillbox so that it shows up on the list and map below.

Just replace the number 82 with your tag ID, so to show a map of places tagged pier paste this into your text:

[view:taxonomy_term_places=page_1=1194]

And to show a list of places tagged pier, paste this:

[view:places_on_list_simple=page_1=1194]
