Je hebt overigens toch de widget gebruikt? Niet de shortcode in een textwidget ofzo?

Het zou niet mogen. Widgets zijn generiek en niet gekoppeld aan posts. De url als zodanig staat netjes in de code, maar nog altijd zonder een ingevulde key, dus dat dat niet werkt klopt.

Blijft de vraag waarom niet. Gebruik je misschien een caching plugin om je site te versnellen? Dat de lokale cache geleegt moet worden?

Op mijn eigen systeem kan ik het e.e.a. niet reproduceren dus daarmee blijft het een beetje gokken en raden..

The line in the code is a left over from my testing. Was a bit in a hurry to get working solution out of the door.

The api key should go in the widget. There’s a new field called “api-key” om which the key goes.

Ignore the
//var $staticMapsApiKey = ‘MYKEYHERE’;

it’s commented out and will not do anything..

You filled in the key in the widget “apikey” field? as I see in the code:
“https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?zoom=11&size=300×200&markers=size:mid|51.44687,5.44934&key= ”

No key, only a space..

I’ve done a little research and found that php7 shouldn’t be a problem. That is, in the docker wordpress environment with php-fmt things worked smoothly but for a single issue in the call to my basic_class. This is no deal breaker, just a nuisance which will be solved in the next update.
After that I checked your site, the broken image icon where the map should be.

The chrome developer tools informed me that the url was there but google returned a 403 error. This is consistent with the lack of an api-key and hitting the limits so I assume that your site is a lot more busy than mine (or one of the other users as I never had this issue neither has anybody complained about it.

A short explanation on how to get an api key is in the readme. I’m sure there’s an easier way, but that’s next to sort out.

Anyhow, this is all fixed in the just update 1.8 version. I hope it solves your problems. If there are still other issues on the PHP level or due to the VPS I would like to hear about it.

Hmm.. I can generate a nicer error, but as the whole purpose of the plugin is to read the GPS info from the exif and to present a map based on it, I don’t think I can do without this php functionality.

If not compiled into the php executable itself it could be loaded as a module (php_exif.dll or .so for linux) but then things start to depend on your OS. Under ubuntu and debian php5.x it’s compiled in. It could be that there are directadmin or plesk options to turn this on or off.

Anyhow, without this function it will not run.

As I just found out about this forum where I’m supposed to handle support here’s a delayed reply..
I’m sure that I fixed this one long ago due to an other user contacting me through my support site.
Excuses for the lack of response here..

There’s a support forum here? Never noticed such a thing.. or got any notification that there was someone trying to get support. As wordpress.com knows how to find me for every other issue this supprises me, but there you have it.. Actually the only reason I noticed this reaction was due to your star (one or five doesn’t matter, but it shows up in my plugin response widget. You were the second in as many years.. )

As for php7. if I ever get a server which supports it of find time to install such a beast on a virtualbox, I’m sure I can fix whatever issues there are. Regretfully I don’t have access to WP using php7.

Thank you..

An other bug. On the overview page I have 28 hits over the last 7 days, but only 1 location. Do I follow the link to the report with the same info, I suddenly have 12 locations over the same period.

And, somewhat annoying, if I switch to another view it doesn’t hold the selected date range. Same goes for other settings.

Thank you for your kind words. And thank you for inspiring my next plugin to show plugin reviews on my local plugin page.;)
