      Hi,

      Good idea.  I’ve added this feature in 2.38.8, which will be released soon.

        Hi, from the screenshot it looks like maybe your theme is applying some margin or padding to html img tags (the map is made up of image ’tiles’).

        Do you still have the problem if you switch to a standard theme like 2011 for a moment?

        If so, please send a URL and I’ll see if I can spot it.  You can usually find the CSS using Firebug for Firefox or IE developer tools for Internet Explorer.

          I’m sorry, but I don’t understand your question about the circuit – maybe you have an example you can show me?

            Hi, the address comes from the browser and it’s alwasy approximate.

            On some devices, like phones, it should be more accurate.  For me it gets my street right, but not the house address.

                Hi,

                Google doesn’t offer that control in the API, but if you’re using a current version (2.38.7 or higher) of MapPress I added a ‘my location’ link in the map editor and directions form.

                The link isn’t available on the front-end, though except in the directions form.

                  For anyone else looking for this:

                  In the first case the query was actually selecting the right posts – but the KML maps in each post were small and widely separated so it was difficult to see them the mashup map.

                  In the second, with two categories using “category_name=a,b” there is a bug in MapPress that is causing them to not be selected properly.

                  The bug will be fixed in 2.38.8.  If you have the same issue, as a workaround you can use “category__in=1,2”  instead.  Note that this requires category ids instead of category names, and does not include the children of the category.

                    Hi, that is strange – the only time I’ve seen that kind of result is when another plugin has adjusted the query results.  Is that possible in your case?

                    If not, please send a login using the contact form and I’ll trace it for you.

                      Approximately how many posts are in category land-listings?

                      What happens if you specify only the 2nd category?

                        Hi,

                        That query will show only 6 posts.  Change it to posts_per_page=-1 to show them all.

                        I think you can use “category_name=”a,b” to grab two categories a and b.

                        There should be an example in the MapPress docs, and there are also a few in the WordPress codex:

                        http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Category_Parameters

                          Hi,

                          [mashup] by itself should show only current posts, which would be type ‘post’ and limited to 10.

                          You can use [mashup query="all"] to show all posts, but that can be slow or cause the query to run out of memory.  I would suggest tagging or categorizing the posts with maps.

                          If that doesn’t help, a few tests might narrow it down:

                          1) Enter [mappress] on one of your posts.  Do you see the map?

                          2) Try [mashup query="p=1234"] where 1234 is one of your post IDs.  Do you see a map?

                            Hi,

                            For the mashup, what post type are you hoping to display?  One common ‘gotcha’ is that by default, WordPress only checks post type ‘post’ and the first page’s worth of entries.

                            It is also possible you’re running out of memory if you have a large blog.  If so, you can limit the posts to be selected, by category, post type, etc.

                            Check out the documentation for some examples if you need a different post type or want to check > 1 page of posts for map locations.

                            As for Google Earth – no, it’s a separate API.

                                  What is the URL of your KML file?  Please post it here or send it to me with the contact form.

                                  Please also try this KML, which is a working sample file, and let me know how it works for you:
