    Hi,
    Discovered a couple days back that Google Maps widget didn’t showed up anymore, just a blank page. No errors in the browser console, tried several browsers. The map did show up in preview mode both in the widget and in WP page preview.

    After an re-installation of the plugin with only the same result, I did a rollback to 1.17.08. Now it works again! Seems there has been some problem with the interactive mode of the map.

    Cheers
    Jack

    Hi Alex,

    Our hosting provider can’t find anything wrong. For now I’ll go with this CSS in the child-themes style.css:
    .sow-google-map-canvas {
    height: 480px;
    }
    That make the map visible again with the latest version of the plugin. Something is wrong with this particular site, but hopefully the next update will fix it.

    Kind regards
    Jack

    Hi Jack,

    I’m sorry to hear that. unfortunately, the type of issue you’re facing isn’t something we’re able to resolve as it’s linked to how your website’s server is handling gzip. It’s not ideal, but consider removing the previously highlighted lines in your .htaccess and installing an off the shelf minify/performance plugin. They should be able to automatically avoid whatever is causing this issue on your server, or at least provide instructions/feedback that you can provide to your hosting provider to resolve this issue.
