 * Hi,
 * I also have the same problem. [http://jedidja.co.za/map-and-directions/](http://jedidja.co.za/map-and-directions/)–
   have you received any feedback? I am going to have to replace this plugin if 
   this problem is not resolved soon.

 * Hi, This same problem has now occured for me.
 * The message I get is “Basic Google Maps Placemarks error: bgmpData undefined.”
   
   Intresting though, I have some maps that have more than one categopry.
 * Meaning this still works [bgmp-map categories=”tooling-vendors,corrugated-vendor”]
 * But this one does not. [bgmp-map categories=”corrugated-vendor”]
 * Can anyone shed some light on this problem? Need help. Thanks in advance.

 * Hi, just posted the above message. I found the problem. I installed a plug-in
   called CM Tooltip Glossary. After I uninstalled it, my maps came back.

 * [@gillestrg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gillestrg/), it looks like there’s
   an encoding issue with the some of the placemark content.
 * Can you try temporarily disabling all other plugins, then reloading the page 
   to see if that fixes it? If it does, turn them back on one-by-one until you find
   the one that triggers the problem. Then, let me know which one it is.
 * If that doesn’t fix it, can you try this?
    1. Open the Diana City B&B post
    2. click on the `Text` tab
    3. Copy the raw HTML
    4. Open [https://pastebin.com](https://pastebin.com)
    5. Create a new entry with that raw HTML
    6. Post the URL to the entry here

 * Please help

 * Hi again,
 * i think the problem can be solved by simply adding a custom **geocoding API key**.
 * It looks like it worked for me:

 * Thanks gillestrg! but I already had done that. I now put in a temporary ‘other’
   map ’till there’s a solution.

 * I correct myself:
 * It works here: [https://theromanguy.com/italy-travel-blog/destinations/rooftop-bars-near-colosseum/](https://theromanguy.com/italy-travel-blog/destinations/rooftop-bars-near-colosseum/)
 * But it still doesn’t here: [https://theromanguy.com/italy-travel-blog/guide-amalfi-coast-budget/](https://theromanguy.com/italy-travel-blog/guide-amalfi-coast-budget/)
 * I even tried to copy paste the map that works in the post where there’s the one
   that doesn’t. It didn’t work.
 * So yeah.. no solution yet.
