WP Google Map Plugin shortcode not working

[mariusjopen]

Hey Sam,

I looked into your code and see that your Custom CSS is hiding a lot of things like images etc.

But that does not directly influence the Gmaps.

Did you embed it with the shortcode?

If you look into the HTML some things look a bit strange like this here for example:

Can you try to install the plugin in an empty Wordpress version? If it works you can compare and see what is the difference.

All the best!

@mariusjopen Hey,

Thanks for looking into this, I've uninstalled the theme and reuploaded it and the code you found doesn't feature any more but I still can't see the map.

Thanks
Sam

Hi Sam,
oh, this was a misunderstanding. I am sorry for not being clear.

Try to install the plugin in an completely fresh Wordpress without Laytheme.
If it works there – the problem must be connected to Laytheme.

Let me know :-)

Dear @dingdong
can you try the same google-maps-code when a different theme is activated?
Best!

@mariusjopen when i click on the button (inspector) and remove "position: relative;" the "+" and - appears?!
and maybe u can have a closer look to this, because it seems to be a theme related issue?! would be very nice :)

ok, if anybody is interessted:

.col img" has top/left : 0, and overwrites top/left: 50% from ".gm-control-active>img".
not elegant but fixed it with:

.gm-control-active>img {
left: 50% !important;
top: 50% !important;
}

Hi all, I am also using WP Google Maps as a plugin for my site.
Do you by any chance know if it allows you to have text over the map?

The idea was to have the map as a full size background and some descriptive text on top, instead of underneath as I have now.

Any suggestions are great at this stage!!!
Thanks so much in advance,
