How This Option Works

You can configure the maximum number of pins to load per map view. This is especially helpful if you have many properties, as loading all pins at once may slow down the site. Choose a number that works best with your hosting resources.

How the Pin Limit Works in Practice

🔹 Scenario A: Read from File = NO

In this mode, the pin limit (e.g., 30 pins) applies to:

Header Google Maps (Homepage or Global Header Media) → shows 30 pins
Property List Standard with Header Map → shows 30 pins per page
Property List Half Map → shows 30 pins per page
Taxonomy pages (Category, Action, City, Area) → shows 30 pins per page
Search Results (Standard or Half Map layout) → shows pins only for the current page results
Owner Profile Page → shows the number of pins set in Theme Options, regardless of listings per page

Note: When using sort filters in the standard list, map pins do not update. This is because AJAX pagination replaces the page content without refreshing the map.

Scenario B: Read from File = YES
