As a follow-up to this update, I got Mapbox setup on the frontend only. Setting it up on the admin dashboard is…a little more complicated. I might have to wait till the plugin devs add Mapbox as a provider or show us how to set it up ourselves. I see that there’s a feature request on ACF’s message board made earlier this year, so hopefully, maybe we’ll get something like this sooner than later.

(I know about the add-on by WPBees, but want to try free alternatives first.)

In the meantime, I won’t be able to use maps for photo posts for now.

FYI, Google Maps is no longer being used on giantpaper.

In order to continue using their Cloud Platform, I need to add billing info to my account. Which wouldn’t be so bad, since the pricing seems really fair, but they want a government ID to verify my info. 🙅‍♀️ So right now, the maps on the photoblog are currently non-existent, at least until I switch to an alternative (I did find a possible contender that I need to look further into.)
