WordPress 2.8 has recently been made available for download.

The current version of WP Geo should be fully compatible with this version of WordPress – if you do experience any problems please post them below.

Future development of the plugin will take advanced of the improved Javascript loading in WordPress 2.8 and the ability to use multiple instances of widgets.

Version 3.0.7 fixes a few bugs and introduces a few often-requested features:

• Added map button in rich text editor.
• Added setting to turn on/off polylines.
• Added setting to set colour of polylines.
• Added setting to override polylines in Widget.
• Widget map never zooms in more than default zoom setting.
• Added WP Geo news feed widget on admin dashboard.
• Admin panels re-implemented using WordPress API.
• Using v2.118 of Google Maps to prevent Javascript errors.

Another minor WP Geo update:

• Marker Tooltip improved (can now but style via css)
• Spanish language added.

The Marker Tooltip is now handled via jQuery and does not suffer from cropping at the edges of the map as with the previous version which was handled as a Google Map overlay.

This is a minor WP Geo update with a few extra features:

• Added way to escape shortcode [wp_geo_map escape="true"]
• CSS Max-width image fixed added.
• Italian language added.
• German language updated.

It adds Italian language support and updated German language support.

The shortcode ‘escape’ parameter allows you to write the shortcode as text instead of it displaying a map (although recently I discovered another plugin wpNSC which probably does this better).

It also reinstates the CSS Max-width image fix. Many WordPress Themes seem to have a CSS styles which sets the max-width of images to 100%. Unfortunately this seems to break Google Maps. Previously I removed this as it breaks the display of the map scale (if you have selected to show it in the options). However, there seem to be so many themes that use max-width:100% for images that I though it better to include the fix by default with the option to remove it if you really need to show the map scale.
