This can be closed, I found from the author’s website that WordPress had added a link around the URL, I’ve removed the link and the plugin works fine now.

Thanks for the tips, I’m in no hurry at the moment, just trying out a new design with new widgets. Hopefully the team here will be able to address all the issues. I’m using the Mystique theme, one of the top downloads on the www.ads-software.com theme list.

It’s on a password protected are of the website so I can experiment in private. But I’ve just setup a jing account and these screenshots should demonstrate the issues:

These are the entries for the event, with London as Province

Here is the post as an event, note the lack of background

Hope that helps, let me know if you need anything else.

Thanks

Thanks for the update Shane. It does appear to be the province that is causing the problem for the UK at least. I’ve just done some experimenting and found that if I enter London as the province, it seems to work. I now get a Google map with a pin at the correct location.

The address does now have London twice, but at least it works ??

Will there be an option to manually position the pin in future releases? Postcodes in cities are fairly accurate, but I expect more rural locations might be a problem?

One last thing, when I look at my event page now, it doesn’t have any background like other posts. Might be best if I can send you a screenshot as this will show the problem better than my description!

I’m also having the same problem, all I get is blue box with Google Map on it and clicking it just brings up another window with the same contents. My guess is Google is unable to resolve the map via the plugin. I’m doing a website refresh for a volunteer group and they have an event in London next month.

I’ve filled the address as:
Country: GB
Address: 5 North Collonade
City: London
Province:
Postal Code: E14 4BB

I can put the postcode into maps.google.com and it finds the address correctly. I’m using WordPress 2.9.1 and the Mystique theme.

Nice plugin but it does have compatibility issues with some browsers. I’m using it with the iNove theme and it works fine in Firefox 3.x and IE8 but shows only a white box in Chrome, Safari and now Opera 10.
