I guess no answer in 10 months is an answer.

Hello ?

? Would appreciate an answer. Is this still maintained ?

Not available any longer on Themeforest...
Thanks

I followed the instructions on making an API so that I can use google maps on the homepage, but when I enter the API in Map Settings on Wordpress and press Publish, nothing shows up. The entire background is completely blank. What is the complete API setup process? Did I miss out on something?

Update: I found the setting that was causing only one point to display, so that part was easily fixed. Under Settings -> Reading -> Blog pages show at most: was somehow set to 1 from the beginning (by previous site developer) and I guess it didn't effect the old version the same as in the new. That's better now.
The other problem is still there however. When I switch back to the old theme, when I look at a location post, it shows all the meta information of the Custom Post Options, but on the updated version, all those fields show blank, even though it still seems to apply to the front end content. Any ideas about porting it over? I'm imagining it's something in the SQL table wp_postmeta within the meta_value field, but I don't know what.. Thanks in advance.

Perfect, it worked for me as well, many thanks Christopher

Regarding Google map I followed the steps of below question and it worked http(s)

Thanks for your time and I hope you can have a look on my 2nd question only.

Hi Chris,

Thanks for your beautiful theme and you great support.

1) I followed your answers to other users regarding google map enabling APIs and adding credit card and it worked very well.
After I added server name DNS (Godaddy to Bluehost) the google map not anymore working !

2) If I want to put on the map pin for each country and attach documents PDF/Image etc, what format should I use *Page or *Post as I am confused on which one is the right presentation.

Thank you

Want to note that when I edit the old blog posts, all the meta fields show blank, but when I view the post, it does show on the map. So at least it's still there, it's just not displaying the filled fields. There is hope, I just hope it doesn't involve going through the thousands of posts to correct. Thanks.

Hi there, we had this theme in use since 2013 for our site FindaSpring.com and we just recently update to the latest version mainly because the Google Map API change.. Got the style customized again and set it all up, was mostly happy after the dust settled, however now all the posts with locations are no longer showing the longitude/latitude in the post meta, and we had hundreds over the years, and now a bit worried about losing all that. Did a database backup just in case, and trying to figure out how to convert or recover that info. Also when I go to a blog category, like California, it only shows one pin point when it used to show all of them. We're a little freaked out about the potential of losing all the submissions since that's the foundation of our site.. I hope there's an easy fix, I can give you a WP admin login or the PHPMyAdmin access if that would make it easier. Thanks a lot, looking forward to getting this resolved...

Had my site up for years and it apparently has been working fine without much maintenance.
WP 4.7.3
Navigator 2.8

Pages load fine: https://nyhistoric.com/2013/11/mill-district-royalton/

I needed to make some updates, but when I edit a page, the Custom Post Options are blank for every post. I'm reluctant to test an edit.

Hi, I have installed the newest version of the theme to solve issues with API key. I have setup an API key, turned on the options you mention, added a credit card. But my home page shows up blank. The site is http://www.rokytnice-virtualne.cz/

The Google Map API checker says:
SUCCESS: Woohoo! This site is correctly using an API key when loading the Maps JavaScript API v3.

INFO: We could not find a visible Google Map within 2 seconds of loading the page. To optimize performance, only load the Maps JavaScript API if you plan on using the API.

JS API Call #1:
http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?v=3.15&sensor=false&key=AIza*****B1Gg

I have no idea what to do at tis point and would very much appreciate some help.
Thanks in advance!

I don't understand it, but I found the following suggestion in another post and it appears to work.

Try manually adjusting the "http://" references to "https://" in the following locations...

header.php line 23...

[...]href="http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=[...]

header.php line 54...

[...]src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?v=[...]

Another novice question - I added an SSL certificate and now the map does not appear on the home page:
https://justoffthebeatenpath.com
What have I done wrong?

Hi there,

Looks like you have an https site accessing http content. You'll need to adjust the following "http" references to say "https"...

In header.php on line 23...

if(!empty($googleKeyword)) { $googleKeyEdited = str_replace(" ", "+", $googleKeyword); echo '<link href="http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family='.$googleKeyEdited.'" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />'; }

...and on line 54...

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?v=3.15&sensor=false<?php if($googleApi != '') { echo '&key='.$googleApi; } ?>"></script>

Again, just change "http" to "https".

Let me know if that helps!

Best,

Christopher

Hello,

My posts used to have a background that was a certain point on the map related to the post. Now they are just black.

Here is a link as an example...

Any help you can give would be great. thanks!

Thanks for following up!

Hi there,

To create a blog layout, create a category for your blog (i.e. "Blog", "News", etc). Create posts and add them to the category you just created.

Navigate to "appearance" > "theme options" and make sure you select the category you created in the "Blog Category" drop down.

Lastly, make sure you add your new category to the menu by navigating to "appearance" > "menus". See the next section for menu details.

Best,

Christopher

Apologies again - when I copied the API key, I copied some extra characters at the end. I deleted those and all is well.

Apologies - I have been inactive for some time and I'm having trouble with the new Google Maps requirements. My map was darkened and had "for development purposes only" on it. I got an API and made sure the 6 features were enabled that I found on one of your responses. I enabled a billing account. I inserted the new API in maps settings. Now all I have is a gray screen with this message: "Oops! Something went wrong.
This page didn't load Google Maps correctly. See the JavaScript console for technical details." What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for your help.

Sorry, I don't see an edit function. I wanted to add the link to my site in case:

https://treetongues.com

In the demo, when you click on "Blog" you get a page with a section to the left that lists all the posts and a short summary. You can then click on whichever post interests you.

I am building my site so it isn't live, so can't link to it yet. My issue is that I created a test post so I would have something to work with. However, the post doesn't show up anywhere even though it's been published. I get a blank Blog page with no posts.

It has been some time since I built a site, so I may be missing something - perhaps in the "Reading" settings?

Any help would be appreciated. I love the theme and I am eager to get working.

-Joe

Thanks for sharing!

you need to add an "s" to the http address of line 54 of header.php

Awesome! Thanks for following up!

I've fixed it! Using this in function in the child theme (XXX is your API key).

function gmaps_workaround(){
?>
<!--Google Maps JavaScript API -->
<script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=XXX"
 type="text/javascript"></script>
<?php
}
add_action('wp_footer', 'gmaps_workaround');

Hi,

Yes, the problem is in the child theme. With the parent theme works fine. How should I setup the child theme?

Thanks for your help.

Hi there,

I don't see the API Key in your source file. I'm not sure if this is due to how you have your child theme setup.

Can you double-check if this issue persists by using the parent theme only? This will help me troubleshoot the issue with you.

Best,

Christopher

Hi Christopher,

All these API that you mention are turned on and I have a credit card connected to my account. If I open the console in my browser I get some warnings.

The first one says there is no API key, but this is not true as I have entered it in the maps settings of the theme.

https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/error-messages#no-api-keys

The second one says Retired Version:

https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/error-messages#retired-version

And the third one Sensor Not Required:
