Google Maps displaying wrong place

[Paak]

Hi,
I used the Swift Page builder (love it BTW!!!) to add a google map to my page. The image shown is not the address I want, but I think a default place (on the ecuator in the middle of the ocean…!). When you click on the red google marker, it takes yoy to the right map though.
Any suggestions?

I tried browsing the answers, but every time I put in my purchase verification code, nothing happens!

Cheers!

Hi all I have the exact same issue.

This has appeared in the last week or so, as it was working fine before this.

Has google changed their API and Pinpoint theme needs updating?

I’m only in dev right now, but clearly an issue. Any help much appreciated.

Cheers
Simon

Hi guys,

We got this on another theme as well, so the team is aware of it. I’ll make sure to let Ed know about this thread, most likely an update is needed for the theme.

Hi,

I have the same problem as well, when do you think it could be fixed because my client wants her website to be online soon and I don’t know what to do with that problem…

Kind regards

Hey guys,

Found out the controls issue is due to some css in the bootstrap framework. Try adding this to the custom css box within theme options to fix it:

.map-canvas img {
	max-width: none;
}

To fix the map location, edit functions.php function on line 566, change to:

function map_embed($address) {
	    if (!is_string($address))die("All Addresses must be passed as a string");
	    
	    $address = str_replace(" ", "+", $address); // replcae all the white space with "+" sign to match with google search pattern
	     
	    $url = "http://maps.google.com/maps/api/geocode/json?sensor=false&address=$address";
	     
	    $response = file_get_contents($url);
	     
	    $json = json_decode($response,TRUE); //generate array object from the response from the web
	    
	    $_coords['lat'] = $json['results'][0]['geometry']['location']['lat'];
	    $_coords['long'] = $json['results'][0]['geometry']['location']['lng'];
	    
	    return $_coords;
	}

Hi Ed, my maps coming up without the map-looks like it’s the same issue outlined here-where do I find the functions.php and view it line by line?

Does line 566 need deleting and replacing with the code stated in this string?

Sorry if my request is a bit basic but I’m sure there’s many others who would appreciate a full step by step method of fixing this.

Your theme is great for non-coding, non-techies (like me!) but it gets a bit scary when I see a coding fix without the full explanation……

Thanks for providing excellent support BTW.

Hi Guys,

I’ve posted this issue as a new item by mistake. Please delete my other post – sorry.

Also agree with Dave’s comment – non techies will be stressing at this ‘fix’ Are you able to put this into a theme update asap. Maps functionality is very important for any website.

I’ve just made these changes to funtions.php and the theme CSS in general settings. They are not working. Please investigate again?

Hey guys,

Im hoping to get this into a hotfix update this evening, that you’ll be able to update too via the dashboard.

Im not sure where you’re going wrong, as I’ve tested this personally. Could you try with a new maps asset and cleared cache?

Hi

Just following your instructions – copied and pasted code as directed…
