## ✅ 1. **Using Shortcode with Custom Icon (if plugin supports it)**
Some WordPress Leaflet plugins allow custom icons via shortcode parameters.
Example (if supported):
[leaflet-marker iconUrl="https://example.com/path/to/custom-icon.png" lat=51.505 lng=-0.09]

## ✅ 2. **Injecting Custom JS (e.g., via `wp_footer` or `Custom HTML` block)**
If you're using the Leaflet JS directly or via an advanced plugin that supports JS input, use the following:
<script>
var customIcon = L.icon({
iconUrl: 'https://example.com/path/to/custom-icon.png',
iconSize: [32, 32], // size of the icon
iconAnchor: [16, 32], // point of the icon which will correspond to marker's location
popupAnchor: [0, -32] // point from which the popup should open
});
L.marker([51.505, -0.09], { icon: customIcon }).addTo(map)
.bindPopup('Custom Marker!')
.openPopup();
</script>
Make sure:
– This JS runs after the Leaflet map is initialized.
– `map` refers to your map’s JavaScript variable. Some plugins use a specific map ID.

## ✅ 3. **Child Theme or Plugin Customization**
If you're creating a theme/plugin or customizing the plugin:
1. **Enqueue your JS:**
function custom_leaflet_icon_script() {
wp_enqueue_script('leaflet-custom', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/js/custom-leaflet.js', array('leaflet'), null, true);
}
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'custom_leaflet_icon_script');
2. **Create `custom-leaflet.js`** with the same JS as above.

## 🔍 Optional: Use Retina/Hi-Res Icons
var customIcon = L.icon({
iconUrl: 'icon.png',
iconRetinaUrl: 'icon@2x.png',
iconSize: [32, 32],
iconAnchor: [16, 32],
popupAnchor: [0, -32],
shadowUrl: 'icon-shadow.png',
shadowSize: [41, 41],
shadowAnchor: [12, 41]
});

## 🛠 Where to Place the Script?
– In Elementor or Gutenberg: Use a Custom HTML block.
– In classic editor: Use a plugin like “Insert Headers and Footers.”
– Or place in your child theme’s footer.

Let me know which plugin you’re using (e.g., "Leaflet Maps Marker", "WP Leaflet Maps", or custom Leaflet integration), and I can tailor the solution exactly to that setup.
mysql -h your_host -u root -p
### 🔍 Example:
mysql -h 127.0.0.1 -u root -p
or
mysql -h localhost -u root -p
or (for remote server)
mysql -h 192.168.1.100 -u root -p
> After pressing Enter, it will prompt you to enter the password for `root`.
—
### ✅ Options:
– `-h` → Hostname or IP address
– `-u` → MySQL username
– `-p` → Prompt for password (don’t type the password directly in the command for security)

Let me know if you're connecting over SSH or need to specify a custom port (e.g., `-P 3307`).
mysql -h your_host -P your_port -u root -p
### 🔍 Example:
mysql -h 127.0.0.1 -P 3307 -u root -p
> It will prompt you to enter the MySQL root password.
—
### ✅ Breakdown:
– `-h` → Hostname (e.g., `localhost`, `127.0.0.1`, or a remote IP)
– `-P` → Port number (uppercase `P`)
– `-u` → MySQL username
– `-p` → Prompt for password (leave it out for passwordless login or use `-p'your_password'` with caution)
Let me know if you want to do this through **SSH** or within **Docker/DDEV**, I can tailor the command accordingly.
