    Hi,

    I can’t activate the plugin. Get the message below. It looks like the init method isn’t being called at all.

    Any help most appreciate,

    Thanks,

    Roger

  • I can confirm the same Problem with activating the plugin (ver 3.0.3)…

    As I need it quite urgently (and there seem to be no other GEO plugin which uses the native WordPress Coords) I helped myself by downloading v3.0.1 from here:
    https://github.com/dshanske/simple-location/tree/v3.0.1

    Which kinda works for me. Note that I had to add the following code to my wordpress CSS File to decrease the size of the Location SVG Image: 

    .icon-location {
height: 20px
}

    Also, to get it working, I had to enable “Google Static Maps API” and Google Maps Embed API” in the Google Maps APIs found here: https://console.developers.google.com/apis/library

    I needed functionality from a couple of plugins combined so I ended up writing my own simple thing. All the mapping plugins out there are way too complex and don’t have the notion of a geotagged post which is what I’m after.

    Happy to share it here:

    You need to define a RBGE_GOOGLE_MAPS_KEY constant in your wp-config.php to get it going but then it will allow geotagging of posts and plotting those posts on maps with a short code.

    You could fork it and make of it what you will.

    n.b. comes with no warrantee or support etc etc

    Wondering if this plugin is dead. I suppose I could give the work by @rogerhyam a try, though I don’t like “side-loading” plugins unless they are my own.

    /same here, as long as this plugin is not published and maintained on www.ads-software.com, I refuse to sideload it. I hope this plugin is going to receive an update…. or maybe someone is going to fork it.

    Fixing it now. It will be updated tonight to fix this. I don’t seem to be notified when there is a support issue here, or I would have answered it immediately.

    Thanks for the fix David, activating works for me now. Much appreciated!

    On a side note, just FYI, I suppose its already on your todo list for the next version:
    * The “Map Zoom” Setting does not seem to have any effect at all (Gmaps)
    * The Width and the Height Settings are interchanged… it should be labeled vice versa

    Thanks a lot for creating and maintaining this plugin!
