Comments on: All Gray / Blank Map Issues Should Now Be Fixed! + Enjoy the Holiday Season https://www.viadat.com/all-gray-blank-map-issues-should-now-be-fixed-enjoy-the-holiday-season/ WordPress Store Locator and Google Map Maker Wed, 09 May 2018 15:37:14 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.3.4 By: admin https://www.viadat.com/all-gray-blank-map-issues-should-now-be-fixed-enjoy-the-holiday-season/#comment-298 https://www.viadat.com/?p=764#comment-298 Thanks for your purchase Poppy, much appreciated. Hopefully your layoff period doesn’t last for much longer in this tough economy.

You’re welcome, glad that you’ve found the plugin to be of great use to — and stay tuned — have only scratched the surface in terms of what we plan for it to be able to do in terms of functionality.

Your folder permissions must be 755 and your files need to be set to 644.

Other than that, as of version 1.2.36 has no blank map issues. Any blank maps will be related to your server functionality or your folder permissions, as opposed to the actual store locator code.

Leah (doodiepack.com) … Just noticed that your javascript & CSS are at the bottom of the HTML of your page. There’s no way it will work like that.
The function needs to be at the top of your HTML (usually in your ‘header.php’ theme file, if it exists, or in your ‘index.php’ theme file) before the tag and before the function — it currently looks like it’s below everything. The store locator can’t load this way.

Thanks for all the work you’ve put into this plugin. It really is great. It’s the best one I’ve found for the purpose of listing doctors, and I did a lot of hunting around before I settled on this one.

I appreciate the help. Is there a way to donate? If I can get this working, I’ll be happy to pitch in.

1) Save a copy of the .htaccess file in your wordpress root directory to your computer (in your case your wordpress root directory is ‘/friendlytest/’)
2) Open your .htacess file and delete everything in it
3) Go to ‘Settings’ > ‘Permalinks’ in your wp-admin and re-save your permalink settings. WordPress automatically re-creates the content of your .htaccess file

And now your .htacess should be normal

Your ‘store-locator.js.php’ file is receiving a ‘500 Internal Server Message’, which usually tends to occur when you modify your .htacess file. So try using the default .htaccess from your WordPress install, and then go to Settings > Permalinks in your admin menu and re-save your permalink settings.

I’m using v1.2.36 , and I’m getting the gray screen too.

Here’s my link: http://collegetownmacon.com/friendlytest/?page_id=5

Any ideas what might be wrong?
