The map doesn’t display in my posts or pages, I just see the "powered by MapPress" link
A: In order to load the MapPress javascript your theme must call the wp_head() function. Try the standard theme. If that fixes the issue, you can copy the wp_head() call from the standard theme files to your custom theme.Sometimes another plugin has a javascript error, preventing MapPress from loading. Try disabling all of your other plugins and see if this corrects the problem. If so, you can re-enable them one by one until you find the issue.
Finally, the MapPress files must be extracted to the default directory in the plugin zip file. If you use your own directory (like ‘mappress’) the plugin won’t be able to find its files.
- The map doesn’t display at all in my posts and pages, and I don’t see the "powered by MapPress" link
A: Check that you inserted the shortcode. You post must contain the shortcode "" where you want the map to display. Also, check the file locations and try uninstalling and re-installing the plugin. -
I can see the map in the WordPress post editor but it doesn’t do anything when I click on the buttons
A: The MapPress javascript files probably aren’t being loaded. Check the solutions to issue question #1 above, and be sure to disable any custom editors you may be using.
