Want to set a Google Maps Default in Facebook and Community events

I am having the same problem as Eric. Please keep me advised of any fixes or other workarounds.

Good afternoon Martha and welcome back!

Thank you for reaching out to us.

We are sorry to hear that you are experiencing the same issue as Eric.
I would love to help you with this topic.

I would like to apologize for the inconvenience this glitch might have caused so far.

The good news is that we do have an upcoming fix pending release. At least for the event import aspect of things.

You will be notified as soon as the fix is out.

In the meantime, you could use the workaround I provided here: https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/i-have-display-google-map-on-by-default-in-my-main-aggregator-settings/#post-1230339

This will force the display of Google Maps regardless of the Google Maps setting.

Let me know if that helps.

Have a great day!

Hello!

I wanted to share the news that we released a Maintenance Release today that should include a fix that restores the functionality of the Show Google Maps setting.

You should be able to see this update in your wp-admin Updates page. You can learn more about the release here: https://theeventscalendar.com/maintenance-release-events-calendar-4-4-2-event-tickets-4-4-2-premium-add-ons/

Cheers!

I installed the update and the imports from Facebook are now showing the Google maps correctly.

Is there a way to set the Community entries so that Google maps will display by default? My users don’t seem to understand that they need to click the little box that says Google Maps to get the map to show – or maybe they don’t notice it.

Also,the pictures are still not being imported when I do a Facebook import. Is that fix coming soon too?

Thanks for your help with this.

Good evening Martha,

Thank you for your answer. We are glad the update helped make some progress on your issues.

There are however 2 issues by which you are still affected:

1. A bug where events submitted with Community Events will not keep the Google Maps display checkbox setting.
2. A bug where the images for Facebook events are not being imported.

Both are actively being worked on.

For bug 1, the only workaround is the snippet I provided previously https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/i-have-display-google-map-on-by-default-in-my-main-aggregator-settings/#post-1230339

This will force the display of Google Maps regardless of the Google Maps setting.

For bug 2, the only known workaround for now is ironically to downgrade our plugins to the following versions:

1. 4.4.0.1 for the Events Calendar
2. 4.4 for the Events Calendar Pro

You can read about that here: https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/downgrading-plugin-past-version/

Hang in there as we squash those bugs!

Best regards,

Geoff B.

Hello!

I wanted to post a quick note here that we have published a new Maintenance Release today that should restore the Event Aggregator that lets Facebook event images get imported as “Featured Images” into WordPress.

You can read about the details of this release here → https://theeventscalendar.com/maintenance-release-events-calendar-4-3-3-event-tickets-4-3-3-premium-plugins/

I hope this update helps!

If issues persist, open a new thread in the forums and be sure to include your site’s complete, un-edited “System Information” as per the instructions in this knowledgebase guide.

Cheers,
George
