Title: [Plugin: Google Maps made Simple] Maps aren't inserting or saving Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # [Plugin: Google Maps made Simple] Maps aren't inserting or saving * [danno63](https://wordpress.org/support/users/danno63/) * (@danno63) * [15 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-google-maps-made-simple-maps-arent-inserting-or-saving/) * I’ve been using this great plugin for a while now.. * I just updated to the latest version. Now it’s not saving the maps. * There was one existing map in my database that was showing up under the “Map Library”, however, I wasn’t able to modify it. I tried deleting it and starting again, but no luck. * I tried disabling the plug-in, re-enabling it, switching the “Save map information in your database” option. Still no luck. * Also, all new maps are inserted with [wpgmappity id=”0″] instead of [wpgmappity id=”1″], which is how the first map was displayed in previous versions. * I’m guessing this has to do with the recent update.. all the new features are cool, but if it doesn’t work, well… 😉 * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-gmappity-easy-google-maps/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-gmappity-easy-google-maps/) Viewing 4 replies - 1 through 4 (of 4 total) * Thread Starter [danno63](https://wordpress.org/support/users/danno63/) * (@danno63) * [15 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-google-maps-made-simple-maps-arent-inserting-or-saving/#post-2006355) * BTW I’m using the most recent version of WordPress 3.1 * Thread Starter [danno63](https://wordpress.org/support/users/danno63/) * (@danno63) * [15 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-google-maps-made-simple-maps-arent-inserting-or-saving/#post-2006358) * For anyone else having the same problem: * I turned off the “Save data when disabling plugin” option on the plugin options page, disabled and deleted the plugin, re-installed and ever-thing’s working as advertised. * Thanks for this great plugin and the all the new options! * Plugin Author [mschwar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mschwar/) * (@mschwar) * [15 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-google-maps-made-simple-maps-arent-inserting-or-saving/#post-2006359) * Hey danno – I’m the author. * I’ve been hunting and hunting for the source of this problem and have been able to reproduce this error that some people are having with 0.5.5 * The solution you just posted makes perfect sense – by turning off the “save data” option the tables in your database were wiped when you deactivated and then built fresh when the new version was installed. * This localizes the problem to the database update functions. * If you see this could you fill in a couple blanks for me? It will really help me track down why some people are experiencing this problem. * What version of the plugin were you previously on? If you don’t remember a specific version number, do you remember about when the last time you installed it / upgraded it was? * What web hosting company are you using? Would you happen to know what PHP version and MySQL version you run? * For anyone else reading – if you are having this same problem the answers to those questions would really help me stomp this bug. * Thread Starter [danno63](https://wordpress.org/support/users/danno63/) * (@danno63) * [15 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-google-maps-made-simple-maps-arent-inserting-or-saving/#post-2006373) * Hi Matthew, * Thanks for the quick response. I also posted on your website, then I realized from the previous posts that this issue had been going for a bit.. * To fill in the blanks: * I’m not positive which version I had installed previously. Initially, I think it was 0.4.4 (I installed it within the past two months). However, you released a bunch of updates over the past few days (weeks?). I ran each upgrade as it became available. I’m certain I didn’t make the jump from 0.4.4 to 0.5.5. * Furthermore, I’m not sure at which point it broke.. The map I had in my database was working and I hadn’t needed to edit anything. * I use Media Temple as my hosting provider. My PHP v. 5.2.14, MySQL v. 5.1.26 * I wish I could be more help.. It’s a really great plugin. Very user-friendly and with the new options, I don’t feel as compelled to jump into KML or the Google Maps API. * I really appreciate all the hard work you put into this! * Good luck and let me know if there’s anything else I can do to help.. * Dan Viewing 4 replies - 1 through 4 (of 4 total) The topic ‘[Plugin: Google Maps made Simple] Maps aren't inserting or saving’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/wp-gmappity-easy-google-maps.svg) * [Google Maps made Simple](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-gmappity-easy-google-maps/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-gmappity-easy-google-maps/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-gmappity-easy-google-maps/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-gmappity-easy-google-maps/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-gmappity-easy-google-maps/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-gmappity-easy-google-maps/reviews/) * 4 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [danno63](https://wordpress.org/support/users/danno63/) * Last activity: [15 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-google-maps-made-simple-maps-arent-inserting-or-saving/#post-2006373) * Status: not resolved
