Please could you download and test WP Geo 3.1.3.beta
A lot of the code has been restructured – the beginning of trying to make the plugin more extendable – so I would appreciate it if you could try it out and post any bugs (not feature requests) below.
Some of the more notable changes include:
- Uses latest version of Google Maps API (including the new controller).
- Added a filter ‘wpeo_point_title’ to override the marker tooltip for posts.
- Added wpgeo_map() function to display custom maps based on a WordPress query.
Ooops, forgot to include query.php – now updated.
Hi, beta looks good, will try it out, but can you please give me an idea of how i can change the size of the image marker which appears in the sidebar widget, its too small, and i would prefer to use the larger market.
However when i change the size of the image in the image folder, the plugin just downscales this to the smaller size?
I already reported this on Twitter, but you never set the global variable geocoder and thus this plugin is not working at all. Honestly, this release should have been labeled pre-alpha, not beta.
Consider it a buggy beta version
It’s a free plugin and I have very little time to work on it’s development.
A lot of the code has been re-worked in this version so I’m expecting there to be some bugs – that’s why I didn’t just release it straight away.
Ben, I understand and I apologize if my comment sounded harshly.
It’s all about expectations. Great work, though! There are many geo plugins for WordPress and most of them are dead, so, I truly appreciate your effort!
Thanks Nikolay, I’m glad you like the plugin and any feedback is greatly appreciated.
Just fixed the location search on post admin pages. Please test the development version…
I’m seeing duplication of Page content when plugin is enabled.
@anthony Can you post a link? What theme are you using?
Hi Ben,
I think what you’re doing with WP Geo is great!
In fact I donated £30.00 GBP to the project 11 days ago as i think its fantastic, and would truly appreciate it if you could answer the question i asked at the top of this comment thread!
thanks!

Hi Rashed,
I will be adding in an option to change the icon used by the widget. In the meantime you can edit the widgets.php file. Around line 291 you should see some code like this:
Just change “wpgeo_icon_small” to “wpgeo_icon_large” to use the larger marker.
Make sure you are using the latest development version.
Hi,
today update 3.1.3 comes out.
After that, all posta are twice!
It tooks a time to find out, taht its wp-geo!
You should take more care when releasing new updates!!!!!

I’ve tested it fairly thoroughly on my installs before releasing it. I posted the beta 10 days ago and have only have one bit of feedback which has been fixed.
Please post a link if possible so it is possible to see the problem you’re having.
In the mean time I suggest you re-install the previous version.
Hi, I updated and get every post doubled.
Where the maps should go, the complete post appear again.
I just downgrade and everything worked again.
To help me figure out what’s going on can you let me know if you had set the maps to appear automatically in posts or wether you were using the shortcode?
Were the maps showing as well?
Hi Ben,
I think the problem with the doubled posts appear when you set the “Show Post Map” to “At bottom of post” and include the “–>!more– option ” in the wordpress post.
At least, these are the settings when the problem occurs in my blog.
Thanks, I will test that scenario.
Peter, I think I have fixed the double post content issue. Please test the development version.
Hi Ben.
I have it to show at the end of the post.
When I updated it, instead of showing the map (as it was), it showed the complete post again.
The downgrade correct it.
Hope that helps.
Hi,
I’ve a basic question.
When I click on the link to open the article in my blog, the WP-Geo Map is no longer displayed.
This is the first time I noticed it and I wonder if this is normal ?
The problem also occurs in your Demo.
On ” http://demo.wpgeo.com/ ” I see the maps, but if I go to ” http://demo.wpgeo.com/archives/9 ” the map is gone.
Is there a way to retrieve the map ?
Thanks, will try to track down that issue.
@Overcrook I think I have fixed this issue. Please test the development version and let me know if that works OK.
Hi Ben,
thanks for the fast respond.
It seems with your dev. version everything is back to normal
Thank you very much.
Hello,
Wp-Geo is a great plug in but since several version I have a “duplicated content” problem.
When the plugin is activated, the_content() (,not totle or tags or so..) is displayed twice.
Luc
Just about to release version 3.1.4 – the duplicate content bug should be fixed in that version.
Hi Ben,
I’ve changed the images in my wp-content/uploads/wp-geo/markers and I see it in the options – http://easycaptures.com/fs/uploaded/299/1816455681.png – but its not loading the custom icons on my map.
PLease help.
Also, do u do customizations of ur plugin (will pay of course) and what are the rates like?
Do you have a link to a site so I can try to see why this might be happening?
