Title: single vs. global map – no difference ?!? Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # single vs. global map – no difference ?!? * Resolved [candy2012](https://wordpress.org/support/users/candy2012/) * (@candy2012) * [13 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/single-vs-global-map-no-difference/) * Am I understanding something wrong here?!? On single pages I used this in template: * `` * and on the homepage this (through a widget): * [geo_mashup_map height=”300″ width=”300″ zoom=”10″ add_overview_control=”false” add_map_type_control=”false” map_content=”global” radius_km=”100″] * However, there is NO difference between the 2! Both show all markups from ALL posts (so basically the global map)! * Wasn’t the single one supposed to only show the markups from that particular post only ?? * I really do not understand how is this supposed to work … * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/geo-mashup/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/geo-mashup/) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 18 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/single-vs-global-map-no-difference/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/single-vs-global-map-no-difference/page/2/?output_format=md) * Plugin Author [Dylan Kuhn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cyberhobo/) * (@cyberhobo) * [13 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/single-vs-global-map-no-difference/#post-3223151) * There’s an explanation here: * [http://code.google.com/p/wordpress-geo-mashup/wiki/TagReference#Map](http://code.google.com/p/wordpress-geo-mashup/wiki/TagReference#Map) * I’m guessing you just want to add map_content=single in your template tag. * Thread Starter [candy2012](https://wordpress.org/support/users/candy2012/) * (@candy2012) * [13 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/single-vs-global-map-no-difference/#post-3223190) * hmm … but I did add that map_content=single in the tag where the single map should be showing (see the 1st code snippet above) that was exactly my issue … with or without that “single” inside the tag, the only map which is showing is the global map .. 🙁 are there any further constraints about the single map to show( like does it have to be inside the loop, or in a special location etc? ) Thanks! * Plugin Author [Dylan Kuhn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cyberhobo/) * (@cyberhobo) * [13 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/single-vs-global-map-no-difference/#post-3223227) * If you’re getting a global map with map_content set to single, that may be a bug. Can you give me a link to an example? * When you ask for a single map outside the loop, the last post to be displayed is used for the location. If that’s not the right post, you can set object_id to the ID of the post you want used. It the post doesn’t have a location saved, you won’t get any map at all. * Thread Starter [candy2012](https://wordpress.org/support/users/candy2012/) * (@candy2012) * [13 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/single-vs-global-map-no-difference/#post-3223260) * It is really not working … tried with both map_content=single and map_content =contextual … I am always getting ONLY the global map no matter where and which kind of code I use! * I have some custom post types defined (the map part shows correctly under the post edit section and locations are added to the map (well, the global one at least)!). * I have tried to include the map both inside a widget, or directly inside the text of the post using the shortcode. * No difference … it is only outputting the global map. * One other weird thing that happens is that when trying to insert the code in the sidebar widget, using “_map\_content=single_” outputs nothing at all while using _“map\_content=contextual” _outputs the … global map … * I have changed the theme in the meanwhile, so it’s not the theme either – I experienced the very same behavior on more themes. * Can’t send you a link as the project is not approved to go online as yet :(, but I hope my explanations here helped you identify the problem? * **PS (edit):**_ it really looks like there is a **bug** somewhere; just tried the following extra options: map\_content=contextual AND “Click To Load” enabled > when clicking on the map place holder on the front-side, it DOES show a single map. Without “Click To Load” enabled it shows the global map_ * Nothing shows though for using “map_content=single”, with or without “Click To Load” the output is still fully empty. * Plugin Author [Dylan Kuhn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cyberhobo/) * (@cyberhobo) * [13 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/single-vs-global-map-no-difference/#post-3223261) * Ok, I took a guess and found a bug that seems likely to be the same you’re experiencing.

Without a test case that reproduces the problem I have no hope of fixing it. * You’ve eliminated the theme as a possible cause – does the problem persist if you deactivate all other plugins also? If so, it must be related to the server configuration. * Thread Starter [candy2012](https://wordpress.org/support/users/candy2012/) * (@candy2012) * [13 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/single-vs-global-map-no-difference/#post-3223266) * I can’t go through the deactivation of all plugins right now, but the server config should be OK I suppose (php 5 anyways). I actually had the problem with the single map version from the very beginning (and this plugin was one of the first I have installed on a fresh WP 3.4.2 install). * An other strange behavior I have noticed, if I add “static=true” to the single map code inside the post (content part), it works! (I mean, it shows the static map). The problem persist with the dynamic maps though – still getting the global map ;( * Plugin Author [Dylan Kuhn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cyberhobo/) * (@cyberhobo) * [13 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/single-vs-global-map-no-difference/#post-3223267) * As I just noted on issue 577, [Geo Mashup 1.5rc1](http://code.google.com/p/wordpress-geo-mashup/downloads/detail?name=geo-mashup-1.4.99.2.zip&can=2&q=) may resolve this. * Thread Starter [candy2012](https://wordpress.org/support/users/candy2012/) * (@candy2012) * [13 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/single-vs-global-map-no-difference/#post-3223268) * yesssssssssss!

It does not seem to “remember” the address it when in“ single mode”, keeps showing only one other location (for an other post) … * [ldekay](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ldekay/) * (@ldekay) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/single-vs-global-map-no-difference/#post-3223273) * I’m having the same problems on a couple of new sites. The test site is at [http://ldekay.ipage.com/wptest/](http://ldekay.ipage.com/wptest/) and I’d be happy to give you admin access to look behind the scenes. * I have 4 different map pages with shortcodes shown above maps (replaced [] with ||). Doesn’t matter whether I designate single, contextual, or specify a category, it always shows all post locations on the map. * I’m even currently using your 1.5rc1 above and results are still the same. * One caveat, I temporarily installed WP Geo after reading their description but reverted to geo_mashup. Could there be some lingering elements that are messing things up? * Plugin Author [Dylan Kuhn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cyberhobo/) * (@cyberhobo) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/single-vs-global-map-no-difference/#post-3223274) * Great to see a test case, thanks! I would like to do some debugging – could you grab my contact info from the sidebar at [http://www.cyberhobo.net](http://www.cyberhobo.net) to create an admin account? * Plugin Author [Dylan Kuhn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cyberhobo/) * (@cyberhobo) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/single-vs-global-map-no-difference/#post-3223275) * I remembered a prior issue where this kind of thing happened with the W3TC plugin: * [https://code.google.com/p/wordpress-geo-mashup/issues/detail?id=425](https://code.google.com/p/wordpress-geo-mashup/issues/detail?id=425) * That was fixed, but if for some other reason the WordPress transient system isn’t working on your system, that would cause behavior like this. I may see if I can build a transient test into the settings page to detect this. * Plugin Author [Dylan Kuhn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cyberhobo/) * (@cyberhobo) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/single-vs-global-map-no-difference/#post-3223276) * Thanks @Idekay! In your case it is indeed the old W3TC issue. I turned off the object cache and that fixed things – probably the only option at this point.
