A few people have been reporting that maps aren’t showing in the admin when editing a post or page.

This seems to happen when a default latitude and longitude aren’t set in the settings. If you’re experiencing this problem please try setting a default location.

This has been fixed in the development version – you’ll need to disable and re-enable the plugin for the fix to work. Please test the development version and post your feedback but please don’t use it on a live web site in case something breaks.

Full details of the changes can be found here.

Thank you for all your feedback about the bugs in 3.1.3

They should now be fixed and in addition 3.1.4 contains the follow fixes, changes and enhancements.

Improvements for users:

• Now uses new Google 3D map control.
• Adding text colour style to tooltip text in case default text colour is white.
• Prevent map from aligning marker centre on zoom. Added a link to centre manually instead.
• Added option to save post map centre point.
• Added wpgeo_map() and get_wpgeo_map() functions to display custom maps based on a WordPress query.
• Language files updated.

…and if you’re a developer:

• Moved a lot of JavaScript for the post edit page to external files.
• Code formatting clean-up, added code comments, files restructured.
• Added WPGeo_Marker class in preparation for better marker management.
• Added wpgeo_init action hook.
• Added wpgeo_the_content_map filter.
• Added wpgeo_edit_post_map_fields filter.
• Added wpgeo_point_title filter.
• Added wpgeo_show_post_map filter.

A minor update to the WP Geo plugin.
