    I am facing a strange problem. I am building a website for renting apartments. I have created a custom post type “apartment”. I also use ACF to create custom fields for apartment features and address to be displayed on a Google map.

    Following the instructions on ACF (https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/google-map/) I succeeded to make a page with the map showing all the apartments. For this I created a shortcode containing the following php function which I added to a code block element

    function locations_map (){
        
       $apartment_query = new WP_QUERY('post_type=apartment&posts_per_page=-1');
        if ( $apartment_query->have_posts() ) {
        ob_start(); ?>
        <div class="acf-map" style="overflow: hidden; position: relative;">
          <?php while ( $apartment_query->have_posts() ) {
            $apartment_query->the_post(); 
            $indirizzo = get_field('indirizzo');
            $title = get_the_title();
            $url = get_permalink();
            $posti_letto = get_field('posti_letto');
            $prezzo_minimo = get_field('prezzo_minimo');
            $type_icon =  'http://localhost:8888/mario/wp-content/themes/yaiv/images/marker-home.png';
            ?>
            <div class="marker" data-lat="<?php echo $indirizzo['lat']; ?>" data-lng="<?php echo $indirizzo['lng']; ?>" data-img ="<?php echo $type_icon; ?>">
                <div class="inside-marker">
                  <h4><a href="<?php echo $url; ?>"><?php echo $title; ?></a></h4>
                  <?php
                      echo '<span style="font-size:18px;">People ' . $posti_letto.'</span><br>';   
                      echo 'from '. $prezzo_minimo . '/night';
                  ?>
              </div>
            </div>
        <?php } ?>
        </div>
        <?php wp_reset_postdata(); 
        }
        return ob_get_clean();
    }
    add_shortcode( 'locations_map', 'locations_map' );

    The result, which is working fine, is as from the picture below
    map with all apartments working properly

    In frontend I wanted, for each apartment post (where descriptions and features are showed), a map displayed with the location of that single apartment. I hence prepared a second shortcode with the folowing php function

    function single_map (){
    $indirizzo = get_field('indirizzo');
    $type_icon = 'http://localhost:8888/mario/wp-content/themes/yaiv/images/marker-home.png';
    echo '<div class="acf-map" style="overflow: hidden; position: relative;">';
    if( $indirizzo ): ?>
            <div class="marker" data-lat="<?php echo esc_attr($indirizzo['lat']); ?>" data-lng="<?php echo esc_attr($indirizzo['lng']); ?>" ></div>
    <?php endif;         
    echo '</div>';    
    }
    add_shortcode( 'single_map', 'single_map' );

    However the problem is that when I add to the codeblock element the new [single_map], in frontend there is the proper map showed at the beginning of the .main container (with the marker working well), and a second map (with no marker and no correct center) in the codeblock, like the picture attached.

    map showed on the single post with the single apartment, not working correctly

    I did some trials and saw that also simple text shortcodes behave in the same way when added to the custom post type.

    I also tried to deregister all Enfold native google map api scripts, but I had no results. Unfortunately the web site is still on my local machine, so I cannot give you access right now. Do you have any idea how to solve it?

    I solved the problem! Sorry for bothering. The correct way to show a shortcode is to use $output and return it, as the following code

    function single_map (){
    $indirizzo = get_field('indirizzo');
    $type_icon = 'http://localhost:8888/mario/wp-content/themes/yaiv/images/marker-home.png';
    
    $output = '<div class="acf-map" style="overflow: hidden; position: relative;">';
    if( $indirizzo ): 
    $output .= '<div class="marker" data-lat="';
    $output .= esc_attr($indirizzo['lat']).'"';
    $output .='data-lng="';
    $output .= esc_attr($indirizzo['lng']).'" ></div>"';
    endif;         
    $output .= '</div>';    
    return $output;
    }
    add_shortcode( 'single_map', 'single_map' );

    Hence you can close the ticket (maybe the code is useful to somebody else)
