Hi,
I’m sorry, but the plugin doesn’t extract coordinates from EXIF images. You would need some custom PHP code to do that. A map could then be generated from the extracted coordinates.
Hi,
It sounds like you may be clicking on the geolocation icon (it looks like a circle). Try entering the coordinates – in decimal – and just pressing enter.
For the geolocation, you have to authorize it in the browser. The ‘user denied’ message means it’s probably been disabled, but you can re-enable it in the browser settings.
If that doesn’t help:
– check the javascript console for errors (F12 in most browsers)
– you can send a login and I’ll have a look
Hi,
Yes, that’s correct. The tables are left in place so maps won’t be lost during upgrade or reinstalls, and they contain all of the map data.
Hi,
I’m not aware of any problems with the latest WordPress, so my guess is it’s a conflict with something else. Try deactivating all other plugins and switching to a standard theme for a moment to find any conflict – I think last time it was autoptimize?
Hi,
Sure, just edit the mashup template in the MapPress settings screen. You’ll need to remove target=’_blank’ from the first line:
<div class='mapp-title'><a href='{{{poi.url}}}' target='_blank'>{{{poi.title}}}</a></div>Hi,
I don’t know, it’s something specific to the site. My guess would be that may be related to either caching or the theme.
Caching plugins can interfere with JavaScript execution, and most themes remove shortcodes from excerpts so there wouldn’t be any maps at all.
You can narrow this down by doing these steps and checking the maps again after each one:
1. Deactivate ALL other plugins
2. Deactivate any caching (plugins or hosting service)
3. Switch to a standard theme like 2020 (for a moment)
Sure, that seems like a reasonable solution. It’ll depend on where you’re mapping and how much traffic you get.
Like Algolia, Nominatim places markers in the center of street but only in some areas. For Leaflet maps, the most accurate solution is probably MapBox. They have high free usage limits so it’ll probably be free to use.
If your front-end map views are low, the most accurate solution is Google. However, they will be expensive if you have high traffic.
For both Leaflet+MapBox and Google, you can style the maps to your taste – see the documentation for details on MapBox Studio or the Google Styled Maps Wizard, respectively.
Hi,
Can you provide an example of one of these addresses?
Different geocoders have different levels of accuracy. Assuming you’re using Leaflet, the default Algolia geocoder will usually place markers in the center of the street, rather than at an exact house number. You may want to switch to the MapBox geocoder instead, or use Google.
There’s some more info about the various geocoders here:

Yes, that could happen – if they deactivate the plugin manually first, and then try to update it, they’ll get the free version. If you use automatic update, it shouldn’t happen.
Hi,
There was an update (version 2.45) a long time ago that changed the structure of the automatic icons settings and required re-entering them. Perhaps that’s what you’re seeing.
From the 2.45 changelog:
* Changed: autoicons function simplified: only 1 rule type is allowed, unfortunately you must *re-enter* any existing autoicons settings.
I’m glad you found it. A number of ‘performance’ plugins interfere like that.
Sometimes the order in which the plugins are activated can change which one is dominant. This may be why it worked before the update.
Hi,
This often happens if there’s a conflict with the theme or another plugin. The easiest way to check is to deactivate ALL other plugins and switch to a standard theme (for a moment). Then check the maps again. If they’re working, reactivate one by one to find the culprit.
You can also check the JavaScript console for errors (F12 in most browsers).
The above steps and others are detailed in the FAQ.
If that doesn’t help, please use the contact form to send the URL for the blog, and I’ll take a look.
Hi,
That’s a feature I’d like to add, but it’s not currently supported by the plugin.
Currently, if you click a marker, MapPress selects the corresponding list entry, but it doesn’t work the other way around, i.e. select a list entry and then highlight/open the marker.
It might be possible to do that using some custom JavaScript, and if you’d like to take that route I can offer you some pointers on how it can be done.
Hi,
You can’t disable search on a single map, but it is possible to enable/disable it for all mashups on the MapPress settings screen.
I agree – the scrolling is annoying when the map isn’t at the top of the screen. I just updated the plugin to version 2.53.8, which should only focus the search box when the map is being edited.
