Hi,

Thank you for your answer. I hope the update will be fast.

Hi there,

To give layout control over the position of sidebars, the content structure puts the main content after the sidebar markup. This was developed before mobile/responsive design was a thing, so it was the best solution at the time. Seeing now the drawback, I'll need to review this for a better approach. Unfortunately this isn't something I can provide instructions here in the forums. It's the kind of thing I'll address in an update.

I don't have a specific date for this update, but it is at the top of the features to be implemented.

Best,

Christopher

Hi

I would like to change the display order of columns in the mobile version in the template Aid. At the top, I would like to have news article. Below a news article I would like to have the left and right column.
At this moment, the news are displayed on the bottom.
How can I change this?

Regards
Jack

Ah! Thanks for sharing that bit of info! :-)

Hi Christopher,
I got it! Your code in the header.php is:

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

But it's required to send the request to the Google API via https ant not via http. With this code it works fine:

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

All the best,
Andy

Standing by...

Hi,
There was a problem in the Google search console. It's required for the https API key. I will wait for the console and check it tomorrow. I'll keep you posted. Thanks.

Hi there,

I'm not sure. Maybe you didn't properly add that URL to your API configuration?

Hi,
For http ->http://www.steinway-klavierunterricht.de/ the map appears. For https ->https://www.steinway-klavierunterricht.de/ not.

Hi there,

Go for "Browser API".

Couple questions...

1. Are you getting an error message?

2. Can you provide a link to your site? I'll check it out.

Let me know. Here to help.

Best,

Christopher

Hi Christopher,
I just uploaded your update. I created a server api key and a browser api key. Which is the right one? I tried the map settings in the theme with both keys but nothing happened in the frontend. The map still not appears...

Andy

Thanks for following up!

I'm going to submit an update later today with this implementation.

Stay tuned...

Thank you very much!

Hello and Thanks!

My situation looked different but the principal worked.

I had this:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?v=3.15&sensor=false"></script>

and changed it to this, I had an API key but was trying to put it in the wrong place:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?v=3.15&sensor=false&key=MY_API_KEY"></script>

Thanks so much!

Alex

I think I found a solution.

Please follow these steps and LET ME KNOW if you have any luck with the error message going away...

1. Visit this page to get an API Key: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/get-api-key

2. Open header.php and change the following on line 53 from this...

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?v=3.15&sensor=false"></script>

...to this...

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?v=3.15&sensor=false&key=YOUR_API_KEY"></script>

NOTE: Be sure to replace YOUR_API_KEY with the actual key you received in step #1 above.

3. Save and reload the page that contains a Google map.

Please let me know if this resolves the issue. I'm not getting this error message on my end, so I can't verify this is a fix until I hear back from you.

If this DOES fix the issue, I'll submit an update to the theme that adds an API key field on the Customize page.

Let me know.

Best,

Christopher

I'm digging into this more and it appears this error message is because of a "MissingKeyMapError".

Here's what Google says about this error:

The script element that loads the API is missing the
required authentication parameter. If you are using
the standard Maps JavaScript API, you must use a key
parameter with a valid API key.

This appears to be a new requirement from Google as I haven't seen this pop-up at all in the last 5 years of this theme being on the market.

I'm actively researching this, so in the meantime, go ahead and visit this page to get an API Key: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/get-api-key

I'm thinking that the fix will be an API Key field on the Customize page where you can just copy/paste the key and be done with it.

Stay tuned...

Hi All,

I've read through the above posts and tried all manner of things but can't get the maps to show. I guess its important to note that the map often flashes up for a moment and then dissapears which suggests that the issue (at least for me) might be driven by permissions when using the maps rather than the actual link to the

I have the same problem.

The background picture appears.
The map still doesn't appears on each other site, category, post...

Thanks for following up!

Please forget my last comment. I created a new site with a background picture and now it works: https://www.steinway-klavierunterricht.de/musikschule-musikunterricht-anmelden/
ndy

I tried to set a background picture here: https://www.steinway-klavierunterricht.de/musikschule-anmelden/ but the picture doesn't appear.

Hi,
No nothing happened on the site.
Andy

Hi there,

You have a static page assigned for the front page. This is overriding the map. You need to remove this setting and leave it at the default "latest posts" setting.

Let me know if that helps.

Best,

Christopher

Christopher,

The map is not blank, the map doesn't appear. I changed the design into "Light Theme Skin" and now I can see the grey background. I removed the coming soon mode and the URL is:
https://www.steinway-klavierunterricht.de/
If you need access to the wordpress please let me know.
Thanks,
Andy

Hi there,

Without looking at the actual site, my guess is that you need to review ALL the options available on the Customize page. Click some buttons and customize settings. Add a logo, widgets, ect. and just start to populate the site for how you want it to look.

If the map continues to stay blank, I'll need you to provide me access to your site without the "coming soon" facade.

Let me know. Here to help.

Best,

Christopher

Hi Cristopher,
I changed the "Map Settings" and saved it. Nothing happened in the front end.
The start page has selected the category "Europe" from your demo files. I created a post with this category and with the location details in the "Custom Post Options". Nothing happened in the front end.
The "Map style button" in the footer doesn't work as well. Here you can see the screenshots:

Thanks.

Hi there,

Did you review the "Map Settings" options on the Customize page? Specifically you'll want to select a category of posts that you have published. Each post in the map category that you select needs to have location data provided in order to be placed on the map.

Hope that helps!

Best,

Christopher

Hi Christopher,
Okay I reinstalled the wordpress with a new database. After integration of your theme, the map is black. I imported the demo content and selected your welcome page as main page, the map is still black. I created a own main page but the map is still black.
Ay idea?
Best,
Andy
