I am currently working on the ability to show maps correctly at category and archive level - it requires some reworking a chunk of the plugin but hoping to be able to release this functionality soon.

PS: I have now fixed the donation button, thanks.

Great plugin. I am having the same “issue” as Alig. It would be great to have the option for the category and archive level. Would this also make the map visible on the “recent posts” level? That would also be a nice feature. At the moment I have my site on “recent posts” and what I get is a nice 300px white area where the map should be, for every post. Not really very fluid. :\

Also, I tried donating, but all the button does is bring me to the PayPal site. What info should one use?

Thanks,

I’ll try the update, although I’m not seeing it out there yet…

Checked out your web site. The map code all seems to be there OK but for some reason it is not writing the <div> (where the map will appear) into your post.

Try deactivating and reactivating the plugin. Then in the WordPress admin go to the WP Geo Settings and check that ‘Show Post Map’ is set to either ‘top’ or ‘bottom’. Save these settings (even if they are already selected) and see if that works.

PS. I have just released another minor update of the plugin which allows you to include the map within your post content instead of just at the top or bottom using [wp_geo_map].

Is there any way to set the size of the map to be something specific (ie: 300×300)?

The URL for your Google API Key will need to be the domain name for your live web site on which WordPress is running. For example, for this site the URL would be http://www.benhuson.co.uk/

I really love the simplicity you’ve built into this plugin! I’m using it for a travel blog this summer. For me it would be perfect if the map could appear on the front page. That way friends and family could see where I was without having to click.

It might be nice to be able to set the pixel size, and zoom level of the map, but that would just be icing on the cake.

Thanks again!

To put it simply - sweet!

(PS: I would rather that the map does NOT appear at the category and archive levels - so when and if you update WP Geo, please allow us endusers to select those levels of map viewing as an option.)

At the moment the map on shows on single post pages.
I am hoping to shortly add the option of being able to show it automatically at category and archive level too.

If you are comfortable editing your theme’s templates, you could add the following bit of code to your category template (works best above all the posts) which will show a single map with markers for all the posts on that page.

< ?php WPGeo::categoryMap(); ?>

I just downloaded the WP-Geo plugin an installed it. Works great so far!

Now, if i select a location and save the new article, the map is only shown, when i show the article as a single page…
Is this intendet by you or did i something wrong?

Thanks in advance,

It appears that the tracking code only seems to work if you are using it over an http:// (or https://) connection. If you have a proper development site set up on a local server or at an IP address, this should be fine. However it won’t track anything you open locally on your computer or network over a file:// connection.

If you want to track a development environment separately from your live site you do not need to create a new Analytics account. Instead just create a new profile and use filters (as mentioned in the above post) to filter hits based on the hostname within your live and dev profiles.

Thanks for the post…

I want to test my analytics code on Dev environment before taking it live.

Our Dev server is not on http://www... so Google wont be able to access it using the URI… This should be the common setting that people do…

What is the solution in such a case?

Thanks in advance
