Google Maps Stopped Working

[mrl72]

Any address I enter puts the map in the west coast of Africa.

Also once you’ve added an image marker you can’t remove it.

Thanks.

This is a known issue and Ed is looking into it, sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks

To fix this, open up functions.php and change the function on line 891 with the following:

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;
    }

This will be in the next update.

Hi i have had the same problem i added this code to the function.php file via dreamweaver and in filezilla on line 891 and my site is broken, I am not a developer so please explain how to add this code without breaking the site – i must have done something wrong

I will try to reset the file back to how it was and await your reply

Thank you

hi in the code does ‘&address’ mean i should write my domain there?
also it is on line 892 as when its one line 891 dreamweaver says there is an error i think because there is a { on that line

No clue about all this clearly but trying to help myself – please guide me onto the right track

Looks like you didn’t replace the original function in functions.php?

You want to replace the whole function that starts on line 891.

I replace whole function but there are an error
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare map_embed() (previously declared in /home/sfxavier/public_html/web/wp-content/themes/sfx/functions.php:855) in /home/sfxavier/public_html/web/wp-content/themes/sfx/functions.php on line 906

THE CORRECT SOLUTION IS PASTE THIS CODE REPLACE UNDER
THE TITLE
/* MAP EMBED FUNCTIONS

I was able to get the map to register to the correct address from the information on this thread, but now the navigation arrows are not working properly. If I set the map for 400pixles, the up and down arrows disappear. If i set the map for 300pixles, the circular icon of arrow disappear.

What can I do to change this?

Hi there,

Try adding the following custom css to the box within theme options:

.map-canvas img {
max-width: auto;
}
