I just checked and yes, it was on.
I’ve turned it off to see how that goes but I guess my question is if that process changed any in 0.20.0.
The option has always been on and it wasn’t a problem. Well, not that we’re aware of anyway. LOL!

My fault! The first field set was storing IDs where the subsequent fields were storing URLs.
I’ve fixed it and it’s working and you’re awesome and I thank you VERY VERY MUCH!!!

Hmmm. My guess was wrong. LOL!
The first instance works perfectly. I have a total of 5 instances and none will load beyond the first. And the console isn’t throwing any errors or anything.

Nearly perfect! Thank you so much!

Something about this is making it only work once per page.
Is that just the $imgBefore needing to be changed for each instance?

Same! ??

Is there an ETA on a fix of any kind?

Using it with WP 5.2.2. Seems to be working fine. ??

Having exactly the same problem and this has worked perfectly for over a year.
Weird thing is that the initMap is not a function error was always there and it still worked, so I’m not sure that’s the cause of the problem.

Hoping the devs get back soon. I’m pretty sure Google just changed something again, but it’s really frustrating. ??

Sorry. I swore I responded to this but it doesn’t look like it took for some reason. The first example was pretty close:

[ic_add_posts showposts="4" orderby="post_date" order="DESC" template="recents_template.php" exclude_category="category-1,category-2,category-3" ignore_sticky_posts="no"]

This didn’t work at all. If I used the option to exclude a single category it worked fine:

[ic_add_posts showposts="4" orderby="post_date" order="DESC" template="recents_template.php" exclude_category="category-1" ignore_sticky_posts="no"]

So it seems the problem is limited to the declaration of multiple categories for exclusion.

I’m experiencing exactly the same problem.
Is this the official fix?

I dropped in what terrelltechsup added and it blew up the entire universe. LOL!

Strange that when I just visit the URL directly it’s fine. It’s only when I use the navigation through the site.

I tried everything and nothing worked. ??

What I ended up doing (probably stupid) was modifying the class-page-posts.php.
I remarked out the bit that wasn’t working and added the following:

// new exclude posts with certain categories by id
	if ( isset( $atts['exclude_category'] ) ) {
		$exclude_category = explode( ',', $atts['exclude_category'] );
	if ( isset( $this->args['cat'] ) ) {
		$this->args['cat'] = array_merge( $this->args['cat'], $exclude_category );
	} else {
		$this->args['cat'] = $exclude_category;
	}
}

This let me do it using categoty ids with “-” like wordpress does natively.
Don’t kill me.
I had to do something cuz I was on a deadline, but I would like to figure out why what was there didn’t work.

It DID work when I entered only one category but failed to filter by any category with 2 or more specified.

Does that help?

This is the section I remarked out:

		// exclude posts with certain category by name (slug)
//		if ( isset( $atts['exclude_category'] ) ) {
//			$category = $atts['exclude_category'];
//			if ( strpos( ',', $category ) ) {
// multiple
//				$category = explode( ',', $category );
//
//				foreach ( $category AS $cat ) {
//					$term = get_category_by_slug( $cat );
//					$exclude[] = '-' . $term->term_id;
//				}
//				$category = implode( ',', $exclude );
//
//			} else {
// single
//				$term = get_category_by_slug( $category );
//				$category = '-' . $term->term_id;
//			}
//
//			if ( ! is_null( $this->args['cat'] ) ) {
// merge lists
//				$this->args['cat'] .= ',' . $category;
//			}
//			$this->args['cat'] = $category;
//			// unset our unneeded variables
//			unset( $category, $term, $exclude );
//		}

Perfect!
Thank you for the explanation. I’ll jump in and grab the pro version.
Will variations also pop-up in the widget search or is that something that only works with shortcodes?

Thanx again!

Sweet! Will do. Thanx again!

Hi again @howofr!

So I’ve had the chance to install the plug-in in our environment and talk to users and the team and we’ve got some questions but they’re not really appropriate for the support forum.

What would be the best way to have a chat with you guys off the forum?

Thanx again…

LOL!

See that? So you CAN do it and you didn’t even know it! ??
Sweet!

It’ll be a bit before we start messing with it but we’ll keep you in the loop on everything and I’m sure we’ll come back with loads of wants and wishes and be a total pain in your butt.

I really appreciate all your time.
Jon-

Thank you again.
