Map View on Event Not Showing

[Michelle Jensen]

Events I’ve imported via the Aggregator aren’t showing the Google Map. Events I’ve added manually are. I have the latest versions of everything as I only downloaded them yesterday. I have Enable Google Maps checked. In import event settings I have Show Google Map as Yes.

Hi Michelle!

I am sorry to hear you are having this issue.

There was a bug before with this setting, but it has already been fixed in the latest maintenance release 4.4.2

Where are you importing events from? Have you checked the global setting as well as the source-specific settings? Please let me know how those settings are saved so I can further assist you with this problem.

Thanks!

I’m importing events from Facebook. Global? Source specific? Please explain. I have Enable Google Maps checked under Events > Settings > Map Settings. In Event > Settings > Import I have Show Google Map as Yes.

Hi Michelle!

I’m sorry for not being more specific. Let me explain this further.

If you have checked Enable Google Maps under Events > Settings > Map Settings then that is just fine.

The Global and Source-specific settings are under Events > Settings > Imports. You can override global settings by using any of the source-specific settings below. So make sure you are not overriding the Global Import Settings by a rule set in Facebook Import Settings.

There is a great article about Event Aggregator Import Settings you can read to understand how this works.

Please let me know if this helped.

Best!

I have Facebook Import Settings set to Yes for Show Google Map.

Hi Michelle!

I´m really sorry this issue is still happening for you. I´ve tried to replicate this issue myself but it´s working fine for me. Could you provide me with the link to the events you are importing? This way I can test the import myself.

Also, could you please open one of those event for editing and see if it has “Show google map” and “show google maps link” checked? -> https://cloudup.com/cY0Ac6kr0i0

Another thing that would be useful to have is a link to one of those events so we can look for any problem that may be happening on the frontend.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks!

If I go to the event itself and check it it works. I’m just worried it’ll make me do that going forward. It shoudln’t. I’m also having issues with Events importing cause of Visual Composer so wondering if that could be causing the problem.

Hi Michelle!

I’m truly sorry this is still being an issue.

I’ve been going over some tests a few more times and I think it could be related to some other bug. I will take this thread to the team to get a second opinion on it and will come back to you as soon as I can.

In the meantime, as a workaround you can add this snippet to your theme’s functions.php file:

https://gist.github.com/elimn/4cbdbf600e4d25842a824147b2e56e5e

This will cause the calendar to always show Google Map and Link, regardless of individual event settings.

Let me know if there’s any other question you may have.

Thanks for your patience,

Victor

I deleted all the events and reimported. That seemed to fix the issue. Thanks for all your help!

[Victor]

Hey Michelle!

Well that’s great news! I’m glad you could sort it out!

I’ll go ahead and close this thread but feel free to open a new one in case you have any other questions.

Best!
