Title: Maps not rendering Last modified: August 31, 2016 --- # Maps not rendering * [gorbacheff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gorbacheff/) * (@gorbacheff) * [10 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/maps-not-rendering/) * Hi Bastien, * thanks for your hard work at developing this plugin! I experience problem with map rendering on front end. The address is entered correctly and found by the script, $lat $long are stored in custom fields. But when I try to call [events_map] or [events_details], no map is shown. * — When i use [events_map], it renders me a list of events, like it’s [events_list], these the DIVs of events are wrapped with the following DIV (as my inspector tells):
I believe this is not a browser- related issue. More, when using a map widget – it works!! But I don’t need any widget, everything is managed via main content area (content lists, map,…). * — When I use [events_details], it gives me grey box with some event details but shows no map. * – More, the setting “show above or below content” does not work, I had to hardcode do_shortcode(‘events_details’) in my theme file, otherwise the box is not shown. * – what is %event_thumbnail%, how do I set it, and why don’t you allow us use post featured images? * How can I make it work? Plugin looks simple, but fires many questions.. Maybe that’s a typical issue I’m experiencing, or something in the core functionality I’m missing? * PS I’m using a paid theme, quite customized by me to adapt to my needs, fresh install from scratch over my older database. I’ve adjusted schema a bit in plugin settings, but there’s nothing special related to map. * PPS by the way, please consider adding any sort of pagination in the future releases! * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/event-post/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/event-post/) Viewing 12 replies - 1 through 12 (of 12 total) * Plugin Author [Bastien Ho](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bastho/) * (@bastho) * [10 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/maps-not-rendering/#post-7081932) * Hi, * thank you for taking time to write this long report. * The map issue looks like a javascript bug. do you have anything in the console which could help ? * quickly for other questions : * – event_thumbnail is option to display the post thumbnail – pagination is in the roadmap * Thread Starter [gorbacheff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gorbacheff/) * (@gorbacheff) * [10 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/maps-not-rendering/#post-7081935) * No errors in the console ( I have nothing that could help finding the problem point.. * Plugin Author [Bastien Ho](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bastho/) * (@bastho) * [10 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/maps-not-rendering/#post-7082037) * Could you at least give me an URL where the problem occurs ? * Thread Starter [gorbacheff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gorbacheff/) * (@gorbacheff) * [10 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/maps-not-rendering/#post-7082038) * Bastien, looks like the plugin is broken overall on my site. * 1) The link to special page, which you can use [http://dev.infographer.ru/karta-sobytij/](http://dev.infographer.ru/karta-sobytij/) It is a ‘page’ type page, filled with shortcodes, the whole contents is: * START MAP // these texts in caps are for seeing where module work starts and ends visually. [events_map nb=”-1″ future=”1″ past=”1″] END MAP, START LIST [ events_list undefined=”list” nb=”5″ future=”1″ past=”1″ geo=”1″] END LIST, START CAL [events_cal] END CAL * 2) If you check [http://dev.infographer.ru/sobytie-4/](http://dev.infographer.ru/sobytie-4/), it has empty map The address is geo-coded correctly, I can even use lat and long custom values if I want to build my own map.. * 3) On the right sidebar, down there, you see list of events, but it is… MAP WIDGET. I don’t get, why the _map_ shows List of events instead.. * PS tried reinstalling plugin. Looks like I have to try to make a fresh install of WP to identify the problem. * Plugin Author [Bastien Ho](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bastho/) * (@bastho) * [10 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/maps-not-rendering/#post-7082039) * can you try to remove the “tagcloud” widget please ? * Thread Starter [gorbacheff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gorbacheff/) * (@gorbacheff) * [10 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/maps-not-rendering/#post-7082040) * whhoooops… It works. * It was a custom function that I wrote to get the list of tags related to specific post category. Simple code, I can’t identify where the problem comes from… * The code is below, for your reference. For sure, there is a conflict. As far as I see maps now, I’ll try to rework my tags function.. * Howerver, as for the single post page, the problem still exists, have a look [http://dev.infographer.ru/event-5/](http://dev.infographer.ru/event-5/) . Removing the function from functions.php makes no difference. * ``` function get_category_tags($category){ query_posts('cat='.$category); if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); $posttags = get_the_tags(); if ($posttags) { foreach($posttags as $tag) { $all_tags_arr[] = $tag -> term_id; } } endwhile; endif; $tags_arr = array_unique($all_tags_arr); } ``` * Plugin Author [Bastien Ho](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bastho/) * (@bastho) * [10 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/maps-not-rendering/#post-7082041) * No matters * for your information, your bug is in **jquery.st.js** around here: * ``` st('.tagcloud a').each(function(){ var number = st(this).attr('title').split(' '); number = '' + number[0] + ''; st(this).append(number).attr('title',''); }); ``` * I mark this topic has “not a bug” 😉 * Plugin Author [Bastien Ho](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bastho/) * (@bastho) * [10 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/maps-not-rendering/#post-7082042) * `st(this).attr('title')` returns a jQuery object, not a string, so you can’t split it. * Thread Starter [gorbacheff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gorbacheff/) * (@gorbacheff) * [10 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/maps-not-rendering/#post-7082044) * Okay, that’s clear. Still, as I noted above, for the single post page the problem still exists.. Have a look [http://dev.infographer.ru/event-5/](http://dev.infographer.ru/event-5/)( no tagcloud is fired there) * Thread Starter [gorbacheff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gorbacheff/) * (@gorbacheff) * [10 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/maps-not-rendering/#post-7082057) * Bastien, * In addition to msg above (re: post map issue), fresh update to 4.2.1 now results in error `Uncaught TypeError: Failed to execute 'appendChild' on 'Node': parameter 1 is not of type 'Node'.` For your reference, check the same page [http://dev.infographer.ru/karta-sobytij/](http://dev.infographer.ru/karta-sobytij/)( map was working well). * Plugin Author [Bastien Ho](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bastho/) * (@bastho) * [10 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/maps-not-rendering/#post-7082067) * Is it better with the last version ? * Thread Starter [gorbacheff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gorbacheff/) * (@gorbacheff) * [10 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/maps-not-rendering/#post-7082068) * _updated 4.2.1 -> 4.2.2_ — Map is working, confirmed ([http://dev.infographer.ru/karta-sobytij/](http://dev.infographer.ru/karta-sobytij/))— Event details is not working (see [http://dev.infographer.ru/event-5/](http://dev.infographer.ru/event-5/)). Console shows no errors. Any ideas? * It might be of importance to mention the fact that, for a single post, the event details box is NOT starting automatically (I suppose it should be, for every of the “event” posts?). I had to hard-code it in single.php, firing the event_details shortcode, in the place you see it now (otherwise, nothing shows). I suppose hard-coding is not the way it should be, as it makes the “Event bar position for single posts” setting pretty useless.
