Hi,
The map actually is filling 100% of its parent element, but unless the parent has a fixed height the browser will report 100% height as zero (i.e. unknown).
Most blog themes don’t use a fixed height because the page is meant to scroll, so height=100% by itself won’t work.
To make a full-screen map you need to first create a full-screen theme template file.
As an example here are the steps for the standard 2013 theme:
1. Create a custom post type to hold your map.
2. Create a post using the new custom post type and put your map shortcode in it, for example: [mappress height="100%" width="100%"]
3. Create a new theme template file called “single-type.php” where ‘type’ is the post type you created in step 1. This will apply a special theme template file to just that post type (alternatively, there are some plugins that let you assign a template file to individual posts instead of a custom post type).
4. Edit the template file to make the content area full-screen. See below for a simple example in the 2013 theme. You can modify the example to add a header, sidebar, etc.
5. In your styles.css, tell the map layout to fill 100% of the screen:
.mapp-layout {
height: 100%;
}6. If you want to display a poi list, use a shortcode with a partial height, for example height=”70%”, and adjust the styling of the poi list:
.mapp-poi-list {
max-height: 30%;
}Here is a simple theme template file for “single-type.php”:
