Mmkay – I went ahead and put in an author.php page, according to the WordPress documentation. No dice. Any ideas?
If it helps, this is a page where the plugin is located, sorry – it’s all the way at the bottom of this ridiculously long post:
https://www.sitelab.com/blogs/it%E2%80%99s-the-great-pumpkin-and-costume-contest-sitelab-blog-reader.php

I inherited this site – it hasn’t been updated, uses a custom theme and there are a metric ton of things wrong with it, including an inability to create pages. Just checked, there is no author.php file.
I’ll look into creating an author.php file, then?

@mikereinten – Get anywhere with it? I had to use the other plugin because I’m all out of time on this project, but it’s not so great for my purposes and the developers pretty much abandoned it, so no support is available. Would really prefer to use this one.

I was able to get a different Google map plugin to work: Google Map Shortcode. I investigated foul play on our servers…it’s always possible, we have a lot of different sites. But don’t think that’s the case at the moment.

Also upgraded as soon as I saw the message of the upgrade this morning.

Now it’s back to being a grey box, map has disappeared.
Also, this is the second wordpress install on this site. Thought that wouldn’t matter, but maybe it does?

Okay, just tried to save a new placemark with the different code in the core.php in the plugin, it gave the same error:
That address couldn’t be geocoded, please make sure that it’s correct.

That address couldn’t be geocoded, please make sure that it’s correct.

Thanks again for the help. The results of the test were:
Test succeeded. You should see the name of a city here: Seattle

Also, the site is brand new, I just made it from scratch. The only plugin I’m using is Akismet.
I think I tried to do the test with the Twenty Eleven theme a few hours ago, but, the genius that I am – I forgot to bring the ftp credentials home with me, so I can’t access the functions.php anymore to change it from the test message. I changed it from the wordpress editor. Starting in on that eggnog.

I got the map to show up by forcing it in the settings.php here:
$this->mapLatitude = 38.0; //get_option( self::PREFIX . ‘map-latitude’ );
$this->mapLongitude = -97.0; //get_option( self::PREFIX . ‘map-longitude’ );
(to show the whole US) on default. This is a project that isn’t really for any long term use, just for the holidays, so hopefully that will suffice for now.

But still can’t get anything to work when trying to add a placemark. Same error saying “That address couldn’t be geocoded, please make sure that it’s correct.” I’m looking at other options for this purpose, and it all spells me staying late at work on a friday. I really, really just want to use this plugin for the ease of use and be done with this in time to have a strong glass of eggnog.

So…that’s where I’m at. Down to one problem. Woo.
