Comprehensive Google Map Plugin (Plugin on WordPress.org) (Download Plugin)
A simple and intuitive, yet elegant and fully documented Google map plugin that installs as a widget and a short code. No limited plugin editions or limited functionality! This is the full version of this free and premium plugin, which comes packed with useful features:
- Intuitive and user friendly interface, which makes it very easy to configure Google map. No complex configuration options. Facebook style interactive interface for managing multiple map markers
- Help tooltips enabled, which makes your configuration hassle free
- Plugin is fully documented. If help tooltips are not enough, you can always refer to the full documentation about each of the settings
- Short-code builder available, which integrated with post/page editor. In other words, you do not need manually to type the short-code in the editor (But you can if you want to).
- The plugin auto generates unique ID for each map. In other words – unlimited maps! You do not need to specify and maintain unique map IDs explicitly when dealing with multiple maps on the same post/page.
- The plugin offers extensive configuration options for Google map marker, controls, size, KML files, location by latitude/longitude, location by address, info windows, traffic/bike lanes and more!
- Support for custom overlays: Panoramio photos on the map (http://www.panoramio.com/), bicycle lanes and traffic info.
- Widget enabled.
- Cross browser compatible
- Loads geographic markup from a KML, KMZ or GeoRSS file hosted remotely.
Support for Google Fusion tables and fusion table queries, distance matrix are to be added in the next version, stay tuned!
Please note: Although I try my best to release a bug-free code, one or two may slip through. It would be so cool and I would really appreciate it if you would report any bugs to me first, before reporting the plugin to be broken. I am quick to respond. Thanks!

I upgraded from version 6.0.8 to version 6.0.14 and my map no longer appears, even after re-creates it on the page.
Appears the map space, makes loading but everything is gray and only shows “Powered by Google” and “Terms & Conditions”.
Hi,
Can you please provide URL where the map is? I need to know more about the problem..
Thank you
Is it http://www.planetaemprego.com?
No, other under construction.
Look an image: http://www.uploadup.com/di-PPU9.png
osmeusdominios,
The image does not help me. But thank you. I need to inspect the live website, to check the source code to check where the conflict is.
It looks like CSS issue that can happen if you have CSS rule in your theme: div { overflow: hidden; }
But this is just a theory, I need to inspect the real site.
Ok, got it….
There is this file loaded in your HTML by some plugin:
maps.google.com/maps?file=api&v=2&key=ABQIAAAAroaJn_n4WHfX2VmxeMb66BRmutaSrt3UqvNV6XUJOLko-SDSSRRlTKY3rSHfCRPC7ccm4b0GB7Snsg&ver=1.0'I think it was loaded by jquery.gmap plugin? I dont know… In summary, this file which is loaded (v2), confuses the Google map API v3, which my plugin loads.
This is your map when I have disabled that loaded Google map file:
https://skitch.com/azagniotov/8ra48/contactos-curiao-materiais-de-construcao-lda
Yep, look, he is using Google map API v2:
http://gmap.nurtext.de/js/jquery.gmap-1.1.0.js
Hello again. Thank you for your quick response to my previous comment. I look forward to the next major update of your plugin
I just noticed that in firefox my map box displays but the actual map doesn’t display, and in addition the map widget is disrupting the scrolling images in the footer of the page. Please advice what i need to do to fix this. I just updated to the current version of the plugin and it doesn’t seem to make any difference.
Thanks
Hi Mike,
I had a look at the page: http://www.missionaryneeds.com/find-a-need/ using FF on Mac, I did not observe anything weird.
In order for me to advice regarding the map widget, I need to see it in action. I need a bit more information.
Regards
You are like me I bet: Using an old version of FF on an old Mac. Try in safari. It appears to be a browser issue.
I have FF v10.0.2 on 10.7.2 Lion OS X on Mac Book Pro.
I have tried on Safari v5.1.3 and Chrome v17.0.963
I haven’t experienced any issues viewing maps on http://www.missionaryneeds.com/find-a-need/
I’m viewing the site on my work computer which is a mac running firefox version 3.5.1. (our IT department doesn’t let us update very often) If it’s working in newer versions of FF then that’s good news to me.
The issue with it in my old version of FF is that the map just displays as a gray box, but then it seems to screw up other widgets running on the page. For instance the widget at the very bottom that has a bunch of image thumbnails in a scroll format, instead of it being centered it is pushed off to the side and disabled so it only shows one image.
If this is just an older browser issue then that’s fine, but if it can be fixed then that would be nice. I know my browser is way out of date, but i can’t do anything about it here at work.
Thanks for your help.
When I view the page: http://www.missionaryneeds.com/find-a-need/ the map displays just fine… How old is your FF? Maybe i can test it
Hello. After installing and activating plugin my layout broke. It’s strange unpleasant bug.
Hi Dima,
I need a bit more information. What is the webpage where the map is? What layout broke? On the client side or in the WP admin?
Thank you
Hello!
You have created a very nice plugin. I installed it instead an other function with the older api.
It works nearly perfectly.
But currently I have a problem opening our site with an Apple iPad. Google reject the access, because the parameter sensor must be true or false. What could be wrong?
I get the message even in the dashboard. On the normal computers it looks fine.
What are your plans to offer the plugin in different languages?
I could help you with German.
Hi, I don’t know why, but sometimes on mobile devices the parameter sensor is tripped
I am not sure ATM what to do, nor I have properly tried.
I will keep in mind your offer, thank you
Please try Comprehensive Google Map Plugin 6.0.17. I have tried to apply a workaround…
Plugin has been working beautifully. Upgraded from 6.0.8 to 6.0.9 and the maps no longer display, just the loading icon. Went back to 6.0.8 and everything is fine in that version. Something definitely broke in the 6.0.9 upgrade.
Hi,
I need to see your webpage with map 6.0.9 on it. I need to see the error. So far, no one has reported an error except you. So I am really keen to have a look.
Thank you.
Let me explain a little further what I am doing. My page has a list of links (post ids). When clicked the post containing the map is retrieved by ajax. The map displays fine on the post page. This worked in 6.0.8, but not since. I now have 6.0.11 installed and the problem still exists. No errors in Firebug, just the never ending LOADING graphic where the map should be.
The site is under development at http://ap3webservices.net/88/maps-and-directions/
Ok, I know what is happening, so work with me here and see if I am clear enough:
Previously, in your case in 6.0.8, the JS business logic that would init the google object and pass map data to it was injected to the client side by PHP.
I have changed that, as I did not want to keep the JS business logic injected this way, and I wanted to create an eco system where my JS would run without fear of being broken by JS from other plugins. The latter has happened repeatedly from time to time.
Now, instead of JS business logic, I inject JSON objects that hold data required to init the google object and build the map. My JS now runs within (function() { …. JS business logic …}); which is sheltered from JS errors and clashes. on document ready(), the JS will lookup for the JSON objects and process them as per usual manner. I have tried clicking on the links, and saw that the JSON object of the respective map is returned as part of the response:
CGMPGlobal.maps.push({"id":"e3c47601525d0c8b48e90f4d9867649e","zoom":"13","maptype":"ROADMAP","bubbleautopan":"true","maptypecontrol":"true","pancontrol":"true","zoomcontrol":"true","scalecontrol":"true","streetviewcontrol":"true","scrollwheelcontrol":"false","markerlist":"1221 Monterey Rd., Glendale, CA{}3-default.png","addmarkermashup":"false","geomashupbubble":"false","kml":"","showbike":"false","showtraffic":"false","showpanoramio":"false","panoramiouid":""});
But obviously nothing happens, because my JS business logic is not triggered to do something on AJAX response onSuccess. So… Keep using the 6.0.8 for now. I would try to put something in place to accommodate for this scenario, but this will not be soon. In turn, you can poke around cgmp-framework.js (the very bottom of the file where document ready is) to workaround it. Just make sure you are loading in the HEAD the latter file instead of minified version.
I hope I was clear here :O
Hey!
I love this plugin, it’s awesome and there’s nothing wrong with my installation of it, i just have a question.
For the specific instance on the site i’m using it as a map to post locations of various people around the globe. I don’t need to ability to map directions to any of these people. Is there a way that when the bubble pops up after clicking a map pin to remove the get directions to/from links? (an easy way that is)
Also i have checked the box where the bubble pulls in the original post title and excerpt. Is there a way to edit the styling of those items? I couldn’t find them declared specifically in the css file.
Thanks for your help!
Hi,
Thank you. ATM you cannot remove the directions link from the info bubble window. it will be an option in the future though.
Due to my laziness, I have put the styling of the post title and excerpt inline, I should pull them out to the main style.css in the enxt version.
Regards
I +1 to styling this a different way. The upgrade has broken the mobile version of my site because the width is set to 400px, so I have to go back.
Apologies for the double post.
Hi,
Can you help me to make this text invisible: ‘For directions, click on map marker(s)’
Thanks for your help!
Best,
Timo
Please update to 6.0.10
Hi,
Can somebody help me to make this text above the map invisable/make it disappear?:
‘For directions, click on map marker(s)’
Kind regards,
Timo
Can i hide this via shortcode?
“For directions, click on map marker(s)”
Not good for an german site
Please update to the 6.0.10
6.0.11 – you must sleep alex
Works now!
Yeah…. hehe… Star me up!
Tnx! Have a nice weekend!
Hi, I’m testing your plugin for possible use for a client. I get the map just fine, but can’t figure out how to get directions. There’s no “get directions” button.
Here’s the code that is generated:
[google-map-v3 width="350" height="350" zoom="12" maptype="ROADMAP" mapalign="center" addmarkermashupbubble="false" addmarkermashupbubble="false" addmarkerlist="380 W Main St, Hyannis, MA 02601{}flowers.png" maptypecontrol="true" pancontrol="true" zoomcontrol="true" scalecontrol="true" streetviewcontrol="true" scrollwheelcontrol="false" bubbleautopan="true" showbike="false" showtraffic="false" showpanoramio="false"]
Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks
Hi Terry,
You see directions links when you click on the marker and invoke info bubble. The links are inside the bubble.
I should be more explicit here in the future.
Cheers
Hi, nice plugin but I am having the same problem like Chris the 20th. I can not get the plugin to work in widget, I put in a location and push the button to load marker and nothing happens (with the page editor it works fine).
Thanks,
Marco
Marco,
Unfortunately without taking a look at your WP admin, I am not able to see whats going on with the button and the widget.
If you are ok with it, please email me your WP credentials (you can create temp account for me) to my email at azagniotov which is hosted on gmail.com
Regards
Love your plugin. Deserves the title “comprehensive”.
I also was successful in using it several days ago, and now I can’t get it to work on any sites. I am running WP 3.3.1 multi-site. I’ve tried adding a new site without any plugins except this one with no luck. I was just using the basic KML URL. A map is showing, but zoomed in all the way in the middle of the ocean off the coast of Africa. If I zoom out and go to where the saved places are suppose to show up on the map, the markers are not there.
Here’s my test site: http://so-media.lasalle.edu/muto/
I have the following plugins set as must use across all my sites (they were all active when the map was working previously). The only change among them was I added some code regarding failed logins to our CAS authentication plugin (wpcas-conf.php):
BNS Login
General Headers & Footers
Odiogo Listen Button
Organization Definition
Secure WordPress
Simple Code Embed
Viper’s Video Quicktags
WP-Mail-SMTP
wpCAS
wpcas-conf.php
WPMU Custom CSS
Hi Mike,
“I also was successful in using it several days ago” –>
a/ How many days ago was that?
b/ Was it the same version of the map plugin that suddenly stopped working?
c/ Did you use KML URL when the plugin was working successfully?
d/ If you did use KML URL all along, was it the same KML URL?
Regards,
Alex
Alexander,
Love the plugin. When convenient for you, I need help with the Add Marker button. It won’t post when clicked. JS issue? See the widget in the sidebar at my homepage when you have a chance?
Thanks!
Jeff

Hi Alex,
I downloaded this plugin a couple of weeks ago and its been working great until today. I went in to edit one of my pages and this message came up every time I tried to do anything:
The Google Maps API server rejected your request. The “sensor” parameter specified in the request must be set to either “true” or “false”.
All the maps on my website are now blank. The only thing I’ve changed last night was to upload an email widget. I tried deactivating this widget but it didn’t make a difference. I’m fairly new at this so I’m really not sure how to change this.
Thanks
Chana
Will have a look in a few hours.
Btw, do you have any plugins like better WordPress security installed?
Regards
Chana, it seems ok now?
Please try Comprehensive Google Map Plugin 6.0.17. I have tried to apply a workaround..
Hi, I love the plugin and seems intuitive but simple at the same time but I am having one issue that is preventing me from using it. The problem is that after I add the address I then proceed to click the send to editor button at the bottom and it does absolutely nothing. I don’t think I’m doing anything wrong and I can’t figure out why it’s doing that. I’m using Google Chrome. Any help would be awesome. Thanks
Hi,
Can you try first to click inside the HTML editor, to make the cursor is there and then click addyoeditor.
Regards
Cool plugin!
I can not get the plugin to work in widget, I put in a location and push the button to load marker and nothing happens.
Thanks
Hmmm… I really to login to your system to see what has happened
Also is there a way to change defaults? I would like to have the same look and feel for maps, but would rather not have to change each time I create.
What defaults you are talking about? Maps have the same look and feel, sorry did I misunderstand you ?
Can I add a simple label to the makers?
Like a custom text? In case this is what you want, Honza has created something like that. I am waiting for the patch
Hi, this will be possible in the version 6.1.0
Hi Alex,
Thank you very much for making this great plugin.
I have the same problem as Warwick. The plugin works in the default theme, “twentyeleven”, but not in my custom theme. My custom template theme is very simple. It only consists of functions.php, header.php, index.php, sidebar.php, footer.php. I tried uninstalling all of the other plugins and only have this plugin installed. It still does not work. What kind of code is needed for functions.php, header.php or index.php in order for this to work?
Hi NW,
Can you please provide url to your page with map? Gray square can be due to various reasons.
Regards
Hi Alexander. Your plugin has really helped me out. However, one thing I cannot do is get the Long/Lat to disappear form the info bubble when I enter a full street address. If I’m reading it correctly, the documentation says the address should override the display of the coordinates when provided. Instead of doing this however, it shows me both the address and the lat/long. Other than the purpose of defining exact locations I don’t seen any purpose for anyone to know what the lat/long is so I really want to get rid of it. Any ideas?
Hi Freddie,
You are right. ATM you cant remove it unless you dive and hack a JS file.
I will try to remove it during next update.
Regards
Hi,
Please update to 6.0.9
Hi there. First up, I LOVE this plugin, but I’m not experienced and all I can seem to get is a grey screen with “Powered by Google” on it. Here is my shortcode generated with the generator on the edit page:
[google-map-v3 width="350" height="350" zoom="12" maptype="ROADMAP" mapalign="center" addmarkermashupbubble="false" addmarkermashupbubble="false" addmarkerlist="12.925704,100.777931{}1-default.png" maptypecontrol="true" pancontrol="true" zoomcontrol="true" scalecontrol="true" streetviewcontrol="true" scrollwheelcontrol="false" bubbleautopan="true" showbike="false" showtraffic="false" showpanoramio="false"]
I had a more complex shortcode before when I started but that didn’t work so I tried using just the defaults, but still get the same result on the page at http://kohlarn.org/newsite/koh-larn-photos/
Sorry to bother you but is there something obvious that I’m doing wrong?
Thanks very much
Warwick
Warwick,
One of the files included in your HTML source is:
maps.google.com/maps?file=api&v=2&key=ABQIAAAAA_HXefYfJQirCIo9dnHqCRS186Pac8O-abWi-dKskqUyZ5jqaxT3LEDEuo-36k74gbP2S0TXXehMrA
This confuses Google Map API that my plugins loads and causes it to throw an error.
This is your map when that script is disconnected:
https://skitch.com/azagniotov/8dbu3/photos-koh-larn-information
I hope this helps
Hi Alexander,
Thank you for creating this plugin. I’m testing it on a content-centered theme and on a widescreen theme. Some features are no longer appearing or are now appearing incorrectly in your newer version. Here’s a brief list: On the content-centered theme, after clicking on an icon to open the address text box, the “x” to close the text box is no longer appearing. Also, when the directions options are opened, the “By car” and “Walking” icons are showing, but the image inside the icon is off-set from the center of the button image, and the “Walking” button is diagonally off-set from the “By car” button (rather than side-by-side). In the widescreen theme, the zoom-in-out bar is now showing in the center of the screen, instead of at the side. Also, when clicking on an icon, the address text box no longer opens.
Additionally, I see in this chat stream that you are okay with Honza R adding functionality. Would you also be okay if I were to add another component, for multi-site application? I would like to add an option for adding markers to a map whereby the user can click on a drop-down list of predefined locations. Users of my blog farm would then populate the maps on their blogs with these predefined locations. As the superadmin I would have a control panel through which to pre-enter addresses.
Thanks,
Rob
Hi Rob,
Yeah, the problems you are describing are related to CSS. I have to admit, I am not a CSS whiz, and it does causes me grief…
Regarding the feature you want to add, I assume you have Geo tagging in mind? Sure, please feel free to add it. Its an excellent feature.
Let me know how I can help you…
Regards
Hi Alexander
I like your work and are impressed with the work you have done.
I have a problem, with the Google map plugin that I hope you have an answer for. In the admin panel I se an error message just underneath the headline ” AZ Chortcode builder” that says:Notice: Undefined variable: checked in /var/www/web/wse442449/wp-content/plugins/comprehensive-google-map-plugin/functions.php on line 397
On the frontend of the site I have folloving error message in the top of the Page that displays the Google map.
Notice: Undefined variable: bubbleiautopan in /var/www/web/wse442449/wp-content/plugins/comprehensive-google-map-plugin/shortcode.php on line 103
I’ve tried to uninstall the plugin and reinstall it with the same result.
Do you think you can help me?
best regards Åke B
Hi Åke,
First of all thank you. That’s a bit weird to me that I did not pick up on that earlier. On my dev box I do display all the notices and errors. I just went through my PHP configuration to make sure that I do not suppress any messages. Nevertheless, thank you. I will release a new version now.
btw, there is another plugin on your box that throws notices:
Notice: Undefined offset: 2 in /var/www/web/wse442449/wp-content/plugins/all-in-one-event-calendar/app/controller/class-ai1ec-app-controller.php on line 414
Regards
Thanks for the quick reply and new uppdate release. The new uppdate worked like a charm ande removed all error text. Many thanks!
Åke B
Please update to v6.0.8 in a few minutes from the time of the current comment
Great plugin, however, we would like the route to be drawn on the map (you add two markers and it draws the route between the two)
Is this possible?
Works like a charm, Alexander.
Thank you sooooo much! I will be donating.
Great plugin! Had one quick question, is there a way so that the marker bubble is open by default? So people don’t have to click on the pin to get the info.
Thanks
Hi Ed,
Not at the moment. Sorry
Great plugin! Is there a way to enter custom text for each marker bubble?
Thanks!
Hi Lance, thank you.
Not ATM unfortunately
Hi,
And are you planning to add this feature? If NOT and I do it myself will you accept the path? I suppose only thing that need modification is the JS and possibly the documentation?
Hi, you have to make PHP, JS and doc changes.
I have no problem if you want to dive in
I am planning to add this feauture, I am not sure when though.
Regards
Could you contact me via e-mail, I’ll send you the patch file…
This is a big one for me – I am making maps of mountains and need to enter exact co-ordinates for the points. I need to be able to label the point with a real name for it to make sense to the user. This feature is very important.
Do you have any idea when you might build the feature in?
You can already input lat/long. Regarding custom text in the labels – give me a day or two.
I might have something for that already
Alexander,
I love your plugin and thank you for taking the time to offer such a valuable tool to the community.
I can’t seem to get the multiple locations to show up on the map. The map only works when I insert one single address into it BUT when I try to add more than one address into a location page the GREY map shows. Are we not able to show multiple locations in one map at this time?
http://www.a-1locksmith.info/dfw-locksmith-locations/ is the location of my map.
Regards,
Jason
No no, multiple locs should be good.
Interesting, Google’s API fails with ” Invalid value for property [ address ]: (32.961281, -96.83910800000001) ” type of errors…
I will look into it, in the meanwhile, can you please paste here the shortcode you used?
Cheers
Interesting… This is the map with your locations on my blog: http://initbinder.com/articles/this-is-a-map.html
I am using the same details apart from the custom icon, which I saw you added to the marker’s directory. Which is fine. Hm..
I will have to investigate
Give me a day, I will try to resolve it
No worries.
Thank you for looking into it. Much appreciated.

Please try 6.0.7
Ok, I think I got it:
http://tinypic.com/r/33y6nbk/5
I will apply the fix tonight
Hi,
First nice plugin! i have one question is possible to change the popup language when clicking on a marker somewhere? Maybe by pointing it to maps.google.nl?
Hi Alexander,
I’m testing your plugin and I’d like to insert a big map on my homepage so I was trying to play with <?php echo (in home.php) but I can't get it work, any hint?
What are you trying to ‘echo’ exactly? It is not going to work like that.
Why dont you use a shortcode builder under your posts/page HTML editor and insert the map using shortcode?
Cheers
I’d like to use it as header, look at the following example which uses geo mashup plugin:
http://geodeal.in/
My friend, that is a totally different plugin. I can only suggest you to generate the shortcode using shortcode builder, and insert the shortcode in to your home page using the HTML editor.
Hi,
I created a map with 1 location in a post
I created a second map in Mashup mode on another page (and post) but this map is empty: I get a grey screen
THE SHORT CODE “Location” in a post:
[google-map-v3 width="620" height="250" zoom="12" maptype="ROADMAP" mapalign="center" addmarkermashupbubble="false" addmarkermashupbubble="false" addmarkerlist="14 rue de la Sinne - MULHOUSE{}1-default.png" maptypecontrol="true" pancontrol="true" zoomcontrol="true" scalecontrol="true" streetviewcontrol="true" scrollwheelcontrol="false" bubbleautopan="true" showbike="false" showtraffic="false" showpanoramio="false"]
THE SHORT CODE “Mashup” in the other post:

Regards
Denis
Denis,
Thanks for letting me know. Can you please point me to the page where the mashup is?
I need to have a look whether there are JS errors.
Also, please update to 6.0.5. I am applying a small fix related to mashup, perhaps it will fix your problem.
Regards
Tank you Alexander,
You can see the mashup map on this page (site in construction):
http://www.formation-hypnose.org?wpjf3_mr_temp_access_key=jdUjgY6RLqduloPAwSHg
The “location” is here:
http://www.formation-hypnose.org/hypnoterapeute-mulhouse/
PS: I did the update
Regards,
Denis
Denis thank you.
I know what the problem is. Please look for the next plugin version in a few hours: v6.0.6
Regards
That works very well!
Bravo Alexander
perhaps you could add a sign before the link to suggest users to click on…
something like that? >
thank’s
Denis
yeah, its possible
Hi,
I love your widget, but I am having a few problems with location. I am trying to put in the following Lat/Long grid reference
SX 741 674.
It’s in Devon in the UK, but when I put in the 6 digits it ends up in the US. Could you help me?!
The code generated is below…
[google-map-v3 width="675" height="350" zoom="12" maptype="ROADMAP" mapalign="center" addmarkermashupbubble="false" addmarkermashupbubble="false" addmarkerlist="741 674{}hiking.png" maptypecontrol="true" pancontrol="true" zoomcontrol="true" scalecontrol="true" streetviewcontrol="true" scrollwheelcontrol="false" bubbleautopan="true" showbike="false" showtraffic="false" showpanoramio="false"]
Any help would be much appreciated.
Regards
Steve
Hi Steve,
the ’741 674′ does not mean anything. Give it a go on the Google maps on the web. I got some US suggestions in my case. If Google on the web cant locate what you need, then my plugin definitely wont. Because the latter relies on Google.
Also, the lat/long nee to be separated by comma, not by space.
I hope this helps,
Regards
6.0.3 breaks the footer map. A delete/reinstall didn’t fix.
Ok… I think know what has happened. Did you put the shortcode in the text widget?
I changed how I load plugin scripts, in order only load the scripts when they are needed. I think because the shortcode is in the text widget, it has not triggered the script loading process
Please use the: http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/comprehensive-google-map-plugin.6.0.2.zip in the meanwhile.
I will look into it.
Regards
Hi
I’m having an issue with my maps page…can you take a look. I just uninstalled and then installed the newest version but that didn’t fix it.
I get a map in the first tab just fine, but the other tabs ( the map is only a partial square at the top) on the other 2 tabs.

Hi,
It is a known issue affecting maps in tabs in general:
Please read on:
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-comprehensive-google-map-plugin-google-maps-not-appearing-in-full-themeip-short-code-tabs?replies=10#post-2595164
ATM I do not have a properly working solution.
Dear Alexander,
I noticed there was a update to 6.0.2 but in this update the map doesn’t work. you get a grey screen. i hope you can fix it. at this time i will continue using 5.0.1
Arjan,
Can you please let me try to help you? I need to see the error and perhaps I can advise you what is wrong.
Regards
Okey, i installed the update. and put this in the text area for wordpress
[google-map-v3 width="640" height="400" zoom="16" maptype="ROADMAP" mapalign="center" addmarkermashupbubble="false" addmarkermashupbubble="false" addmarkerlist="Kerkstraat 45, 4191 AA Geldermalsen{}1-default.png" maptypecontrol="true" pancontrol="true" zoomcontrol="true" scalecontrol="true" streetviewcontrol="true" scrollwheelcontrol="false" bubbleautopan="true" showbike="false" showtraffic="false" showpanoramio="false"]
but since the update i get instead of a map a gray screen. you can look at http://www.jefta.nl/contact
i hope its enough information
Regards
Arjan,
Can you please remove the plugin (do not update) and install the latest version?
There is something weird going on. According to the source files that I see in the HTML source of your page you are running version 5.0.1 of my plugin.
But the contents of the files are from version 6.0.x??? Did you manually update certain files (I am talking about JS)? Also, two CSS files cannot be found.
That’s why I want you to do a clean install.
Cheers
P.S. The map from your shortcode on my blog: https://skitch.com/azagniotov/8bp8y/this-is-a-map-initbinder
Same error here, just a white map, i tried to install the version 6.0.0 and it still shows the white map, but it worked before I installed the update.
Peter,
What error are you talking about? I cant help you if you reverted to the previous version.
I need to have a look at the error please.
Regards
Dear Alexander!
Really like your plugin, but with update to the new version, it started to show this mistake on site (and grey square instead of the map):
“ATTENTION!
Dear blog/website owner,
It looks like you did not specify any locations for the Google map!
When adding marker locations in the widget or shortcode builder,
did you clicked the “Add Marker” button?
Please revisit your configuration..”
I tried reset configuration several times and, for sure, clicked “add marker”. Nothing helped
Plus in the previous version plugin didn’t show my Panoramio photoes.
I used it on this site http://test.bothaway.com/karta/
Will appreciate your help here!
thanks!
Olia…
Thank you for the kind words.
For Panoramio user ID you have to specify user ID. You have provided the whole URL instead: panoramio.com/user/6607614.
You need to provide only ’6607614′. Regarding the error message, it pops up because when building your shortcode you did not add any location to the map and clicked “Add Marker”. I am sure that your shortcode property “addmarkerlist” is empty. Reconfigure your shortcode, by having at least one marker location added. It should work then.
I hope this helps.
Regards
This plugin works great with a post but as the post forces a link I would rather put it in as a Widget. The problem is, when I try to put it in as a widget the “Add Marker” doesn’t work. Is it because I use Headway Themes?
Will try to check it out, to see where the conflict is.
I hope that it’s a free theme
Hi. I just started using your plugin and really like it, very friendly and effective. I have a page with a geo mashup of other posts and I was about to ask if you could add function to link to the posts from the map and I see you’ve done that in the latest update. However, for some reason, it’s not working. I’m not sure why – the single place maps on other posts are working but this now just gets the blank white box. It was working before the update but obviously with the directions bubble. The page is http://rollonlunch.com/roll-around-the-world/. Thanks.
Yorick,
I know what the problem is. It is a bug. Apologies. Can you please revert to the previous version, and once I will apply the fix, you can have geo mashup working.
Regards
Or just dont use mashap for now
Give me a day, please
Hi Yorick,
Can you please update to the latest version 6.0.3 and test again marker mashup. Please do report any problems.
Regards
Hi Alex – thanks for fixing the bugs – it’s all working as I wanted now with links to posts from the mashup. I’ve tried other map plugins and yours is excellent. One small thing – the bubble still contains the direction components “to here” and “from here”, which don’t work. They are not that necessary for me anyway. It still contains the streetmap but that works and I actually like it so you could leave that maybe. Thanks, Yorick
Yorick,
Thank you. Can you please provide me a link to a post with the map that does not work (the links).
When you say dont work – you dont see directions control panel displayed under the map? Did observe whether there are JS errors?
Regards
There’s a warning/info error coming from this – cgmp-framework.min.js?ver=6.0.6
http://rollonlunch.com/roll-around-the-world/
what do you get? ‘time out’?
Sorry, just thought of another feature request – image (video maybe?) from posts in the bubbles – maybe using featured image.
Thanks!
Yeah Yorick, its not bad, thank you
its just I am not sure when I am going to do it – way too mane things have aligned before
just update the plugin and its not working now. Does it need to be reconfigure after the update
Rehan,
I see you reverted to version 6.0.0. I cannot help you without knowing what the problem was in the latest version.
Do you mind to update to the latest version and let me have a look?
Regards
Alexander,
just in case my first reply didn’t get thru, here’s the testpage:
http://www.winterhuder-kindersalon.de/maptest/
I use “Better WP Security 2.18″.
If my first reply reached you, just let me know briefly and delete this one. Thanks!
Anders
Give me 1-2 days, and I will let you know
Anders,
Can you please update to 6.0.3 and check whether WP Security still causes problem, I have applied some workaround. I hope it works.
Alexander,
unfortunately it still does not work, neither with 6.0.3 nor with 6.0.6.
Hi Anders,
Yes, I know. I tried to work around it, but it did not work. I have to think of alternatives.
Hi there!
Used your great plugin (latest version) on the freshly set up http://www.winterhuder-kindersalon.de (Page “Find Us”), but had to deactivate it recently. Reason: Whenever it’s active, each page, i.e. also pages which do not contain the widget, prompts an error message telling me that “sensor must be true or false”. Strange thing is, when I am logged in with my admin account, the error does not occur?! I got no idea how I can resolve this issue. Any Idea?
Cheers
Anders
Anders,
Hm… thats weird…. ‘sensor’ is a must have parameter that i am passing to Google without compromise. Do you use some Secure WP plugins of some sort?
These plugins sometimes strip parameters from URLs… Can you set up a test page for me with the map on it so I can have a look?
Alexander,
it’s weird indeed. In fact I do use “Better WP Security” 2.18, which I deem to be very useful and good as it already prevented several attacks on other sites I do run.
Here’s a test map
http://www.winterhuder-kindersalon.de/maptest/
Thanks for your support!!!!!
Anders,
Ofcourse I do not want you to remove the security plugin. I am digging into WP docs to find out something that can allow me to force URL parameters. Alternatively, I can download WP security and have a look what they are doing there…
Having said all that, I still do not have solution ATM. Perhaps I am not doing something the right way, perhaps I need to research more…
All I can say, that I guess for the time being you have to use other map plugin. But I do want to get back to that, I already had few users complaining about the same thing,
Cheers
I fully understand, thanks a lot. WP is modular and decentralized, thus it’s normal that things like this happen.
Have a nice day!
Anders
ps: You might want to delete my redundant 2nd reply?!
Please try Comprehensive Google Map Plugin 6.0.17. I have tried to apply a workaround.
What is the solution for the broken Jquery? My site relies heavily on it and the upgrade broke it. When I deactivate the scripting works again.
Jaffe,
Can you please provide link to your site/ blog page where the map is? I need to have a look…
Alternatively, this is the link previous version:
http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/comprehensive-google-map-plugin.6.0.0.zip
Alexander, At this time I will use the older version. As soon as I am able to go live with the site I will send you the link as my client currently requires an NDA to view their information.
Thanks again!
Jaffe,
At least a screenshot of JS errors? Do you know and use firebug and/or chrome dev tools
?
Please
Btw, do you use caching plugin in the blog? Like w3tc?
Are you able to tell me what did the JS error say?
Jaffe,
Please try with 6.0.2, the new version
Regards
Hello,
this is a great plugin !
thanks a lot !!!
Merci
All I get is a Grey box? Why
Well, you did not specify any locations David.
You have used shortcode builder, right? When adding marker location, did you click “Add Marker”?
Alternatively, can you please paste here the shortcode you have used?
cheers
Got it!
Stupid me …I was not pushing the “add marker” button! Thanks for such a quick reply!!!
I ma glad it has worked out
Thanks. “1280 Boulevard Way Walnut Creek, CA 94596″ used to return results as late as version 6.0.0. Others reporting the grey box issue are likely experiencing a similar problem. You might want to include a little warning that is displayed in the event that nothing is returned from google.
That’s really odd: “used to return results as late as version”. I have not touched the Geo service functionality for ages. To clarify, plugin relies on the info from Google, in other words I do not parse/change/edit address provided by the user but pass it to Google. I actually went on Google web and pasted your original address there, Google has corrected it to what I have provided you.
Regardless, you are right. I should provide more information to the end user. Thank you David.
Regards
Hi David,
Please update to version 6.0.2:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/comprehensive-google-map-plugin/changelog/
Regards
6.0.1 has problems. Only displays a grey box. Where can I get 6.0.0 again? It worked great.
Hi David,
The address specified was returning nothing from Google. I tried what you have provided on Google web, and I got the nearest result, why dont you use the following:
1280 Boulevard Way #212 Walnut Creek, CA 94595-1102, USAThis address immediately came up even on lawyers.comAlternatively, this is the link requested:
http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/comprehensive-google-map-plugin.6.0.0.zip
I updated from 5.0.3 to 6.0.1 and my website has jquery problems. Do you mind posting up the download link to the previous version?
Can you Please let me know your website blog URL where the map is?
I want to have a look at your problem, perhaps the problem is not due to plugin upgrade.
6.0.1 resolves some jQuery conflicts wih other jQuery versions.
Have you upgraded only this plugin or some others too? Can you let me to have a look before downgrading?
On plUgin page, do right click on the download link and copy download location.
The link you copied will contain plugin version number, change it to whatever version you need.
I hope this was clear,
Regards
Hi, is it possible to re-enable zooming with the mouse wheel on these maps? I saw in the other comment posts that you were going to add an option to remove it, but I don’t see how to turn it on for my map. Thanks, this is a sweet plugin!
Hi,
for now I can show where to tweak the code if you have access to the filesystem
Hi, version 6.0.2 will have it as an configurable option
Regards
