You can also blame the browsers, which report zero size for hidden elements… 🙂

Hi, it’s probably the Google API.  Please see here for some more info:

Thanks, just let me know if you need any help with it.

Hi, the Google API doesn’t work if the map is initially in a hidden container.  There’s some more info in the FAQ:

Hi,

I’m sorry, I don’t know how to emend the rule.  Maybe the security plugin folks can tell you?

If it blocks access to ‘admin-ajax.php’, no front-end ajax calls will work (in this case the mashup).

[Chris]

Hi,

I think the redirection is still occurring, perhaps the theme is active at the main site?

Try this – it should return “0” but it returns the not found page from the main theme:

http://dewandelaar.nl/nz/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php

You could also try re-saving your .htaccess (go to the blog settings and save your permalinks, it’ll refresh it).

Hi, something in your blog is preventing the query from running – it’s directing the ajax query to a ‘page not found’ error.

This is usually caused by a plugin or theme function that redirects the URL.

Try deactivating your other plugins and switching to 2012.  You can reactivate them one by one to find the error.

You can’t, but you can modify the layout template to place the POI list wherever you like.  The file is ‘map_layout.php’ and there’s some info in the documentation about how to copy it to your theme.

[Chris]

Hi, I’m glad you got it figured out and thanks for the update.

[Chris]

Using 1 map will save you 1 ajax call – about half a second.  But it is less flexible, for example if you want to add custom fields, featured images, etc.  So I would always recommend using 100 separate posts.

[Chris]

Please try the 2012 theme with all other plugins deactivated and let me know if that works.

If it does, then check that your theme is calling wp_footer() – that’s where the javascript is loaded.

[Chris]

Hi, the MapPress javascripts aren’t on the page (you should see mappress.min.js).  Something is probably removing them.

Are you using some kind of minifying plugin?  Try deactivating all plugins and switching to 2012, then reactivate to find the problem.  Also, please check the FAQ:

Hi, try adding ‘echo’ before do_shortcode:

$category_id = get_query_var('cat'); 
$shortcode = '[mashup query="cat=' . $category_id . '&posts_per_page=-1"]'; 
echo "Map of shortcode $shortcode" . "<br/>"; 
echo do_shortcode($shortcode);

[Chris]

Hi,

It’s possible but you’ll need some PHP to do this.  You’ll need to get the category first (you can search wordpress.org for solutions to that).  Then run the mashup shortcode.

I haven’t tested it but for example: this should read the category id from the query variable ‘cat’:

$category_id = get_query_var('cat');
$shortcode = '[mashup query="cat=' . $category_id . '&posts_per_page=-1"]';
echo "Map of shortcode $shortcode" . "<br/>";
do_shortcode($shortcode);

[Chris]

Hi,

I tried just setting the widget to ‘custom query’ and entering this in the input below ‘custom query’ (where 35403 is the ID of a page):

page_id=35403

That works for me, so I’m guessing the AJAX issue is something specific to your site.  Try deactivating all ofyour other plugins and switching to the 2012 theme to rule out the most common sources of AJAX errors.  Some other suggestions are here:

If that doesn’t help, please send a URL and a login to your blog (use the contact form) and I’ll see if I can spot the problem.

I’ve never tried the add_filter approach myself but the padding sounds like a CSS problem.  As an alternative, you could use do_shortcode() directly into the template’s sidebar.php file.
