Is there a better guide to getting started other than the one listed on your site? I just purchased this plugin and I don’t have a clear understanding of how it works. For instance, when I paste the shortcode into a post, the map that appears is London, although I have put coordinates in for another place. Do you have a step-by-step guide?
Hi,
Sorry for the delay. Unfortunately there’s no other step by step guide. If you need further help, please send me the login to your site at plugin.progressmap@gmail.com and i’ll try to create an example for you to follow.
Thank you
Really great plug-in but one important question: I need to filter polygons in the faceted filter: is it possible?
Or just recall one polygon in a specific page, is it possible by shortcodes? Thanks
Hi,
Sorry for the delay.
I need to filter polygons in the faceted filter: is it possible?
- Unfortunately no. The polygons can not be filtred.
<blockqoute>Or just recall one polygon in a specific page, is it possible by shortcodes?
- Unfortunately no. Polygons can only be operated from the settings.
Thank you for your patience
How can I change size rounded bubbles from 100×100 to 55×55 ?
Hi,
Unfortunately, there’s no option to change the bubbles size.
Thank you
Yes I know about it. But when I save picture from my map http://tinyurl.com/pmdqner , the bubbles picture is bigger (100×100) then from your demo (55×55). So, I don’t know what is wrong with my map?
Hi,
Please note that bubbles pictures are 100100 but they are displayed 5555 (in your site and the demo). The reason for this is to avoid pixelized pictures in Smart phones. In Smart phones, we have to display a picture half its size in order to be clearly viewed in the screen. If i want to display a picture in a 5050 area, this picture must be 100100. This is called Retina Display. This is how it works and there’s no way to avoid it otherwise, you will complain of the bad quality of your images when viewed in a phone.
Thank you
Hi What happens if more than one post has the same location? When you’re zoomed all the way in do the posts/markers display next to each other or on top of each other, so only the top one will display while others are hidden? Are there any display options for this?
The use I’m planning is to display holidays from the airport locations. So from LA there will be 5 or 6 posts we would map to there.
Thanks Nick
Hi,
All your locations will be displayed in a list. You can see this in action on the demo by following this steps:
1. Open the Demo map. http://www.codespacing.com/
2. Zoom-out the map until you see two clusters, one with 13 markers and the other one with 5 markers.
3. Click on the cluster with 5 markers.
4. A new cluster will appear, it has 3 markers. Click on this cluster.
5. A new cluster will appear, it has 2 markers. Click on this cluster.
6. Click one more time on that cluster.
Thank you
I really want to buy this plugin but whilst testing your demo I found an issue, it seems I can’t drag the map around. Is this my issue or just how you setup the demo map?
Hi,
This is just how the demo was set. You can enable the drag option in the plugin settings page.
Thank you 
Oh cool!
Thanks for the SUPER FAST reply! 
Another quick question if you don’t mind. Can HTML be displayed in marker infowindows? I would like to display a twitter link or php via Advanced Custom Fields plugin.
Thanks in advance!
From the settings no, but you can do this from your theme’s funtions.php file by using one of the available hooks. I’ll show you how when you need to.
Thank you 
I mainly use HeadwayThemes to power my websites and unfortunately they don’t allow direct access to functions.php. Also I don’t like using a child theme because it’s not even 1% flexible.
Any other way to achieve this?
i don’t think there’s another option to do that. You can easly display a custom field value from the plugin settings page but HTML will be removed. I think you need to contact your theme’s support and ask them to show the way to access the functions.php file.
It’s not really a high priority at the moment so I’ll leave it. I purchased it now 
I downloaded all the WP plugins from the repository but they failed to meet my expectation. Your plugin is outstanding!
Thank you once again for the quick & helpful replies.
Thank you 
Well, I am truly amazed and relieved to find the plugin I’ve always dreamt of. If there was an option to give 10 or 100 stars rating then I would!
Please keep the plugin updated and I will recommend it to everyone I know 
Yes i will. Thanks for your Rating 
You’re very welcome 
Lastly, can you provide me with the available hooks please? I’m going to write a functions WP plugin.
Hi,
Please go to Infobox settings and check the Red part titled How to use your theme’s “functions.php” file to override the infobox’s Title & Content in order to display your custom title & content?. You’ll find the hooks and all the descriptions you’ll need.
Thank you
Thank you 
What’s the best way to update the plugin? If I deactivate/delete the plugin and upload the updated one, will this keep or delete my map markers?
Hi,
Just remove the old version and install the latest version. You will not lose any of your settings & markers.
Thank you
Hi there, I have a big problem, I set all the map up with lots of portolio entries and got all the settings just right. I have now copied across the website from a testing server to a production server and none of my changes have come across, is there a way I should be doing this?
Hi,
Please send me the link to your map page to check this.
Thank you
After testing several versions, it seems that at 2.7.1 the ‘center_at=”’$.ID.’”’ no longer works. For some reason I can only roll back to 2.6.6, and it works again but there is a conflict with the new gmaps API that doesn’t allow the clusters to work (that was since fixed).
I have a major international client that I’m using your code for and set to launch on Friday – any chance I can pay you to help troubleshoot and fast track an update?
Thanks!
Hi,
Sorry for the delay, i was extremely busy. Yes, there’s a bug in the current version regarding the “center_at” attribute. I’ll fix this today and send the updates to Codecanyon.
Thanks for your patience
Hi Hope you’re well.
I’ve just seen the new support for kml. Very cool!
Can I double check. If the kml includes a directions layer will this display/import ok? Or I notice if I export from Google my maps a kml and re-import the directions layer becomes a shape layer. So the question might be can progress maps show the shape file that is in a kml file?
Can a post have a different kml file attached/imported? So essentially I could use a custom post type like ‘holiday routes’ and display these on a single map?
Thanks Nick
Hi,
1. As far as i’ve tested the KML feature, everything in a KML file will be displayed on the map.
2. A post can have a different KML file. You can do this by using the attribute kml_file. Please find an example below the field KML Layers settings => KML/KMZ File URL. It’s marked in red color.
Thank you
Hi, Thanks for your help. Can I check … does this mean it’s possible to have one map that shows multiple posts and each posts kml file (route) would be shown on that map?
Hi,
Unfortunately no. Each post can have a kml file but there’s no option to display each post’s kml file in one single map.
Thank you
Hi Thanks for your message. Is this something that is possible with development or impossible due to the way Google app works? If it is possible please can I ask if this might feature in you Dev plan?
Hi,
I’ll have to study this but even if it’s possible to do, i really don’t think i’ll do it soon. I’m in the middle of complicated project and i’ll be busy for the 4 next months. I’ll be available only to answer questions and to fix bugs. I may add some small features but this one will have to wait 
Thank you
Hi, This is the second purchase of Progress Map and I think it is really good. However I am having problems this time round. Everything was looking good, it was installed, working and I just managed to custom style the carousel when the page went blank or should i say white.
Development install link: http://toursanglesey.wpengine.com/places-to-visit/anglesey-beaches/
I have tried for many hours to find out what the problem is but I can’t. Any ideas why this is happening please.
Thank you
the problem has now been sorted thank you
Can a user in WPMU login and add the name, address and comments. Can it zoom into a street view to the persons location Can it get the IP address shown to the admin only for the user as I record the IP address for logins
I’ve got the map working for the most part and can display it on a page with all of the markers. I have around 150 markers.
What I’m trying to do now is display a map on the individual post and have the map center itself and zoom based on just the coordinates for this individual post so that people can see where this particular post is on the map and not confuse it with all of the other markers on the map.
Hi,
Sorry for the delay, i was extremely busy. Please note that you can do what you want by using the shortcode [codespacing_light_map]. You can find more about this shortcode at http://www.codespacing.com/progress-map-shortcodes/.
Thanks for your patience
Sorry, now I feel dumb with the question. I read that document over and over and somehow still missed the connection that light map was for individual posts. That solved my problem. Thanks for your help!
Hi, is there a way for users/viewers to add their location to a map? Maybe by filling out a form?
Hi,
Sorry for the delay, i was extremely busy. Please note that the plugin provides a frontend form that you can use for that purpose. Please go to http://www.codespacing.com/progress-map-shortcodes/ and check the label “Frontend form”.
Thanks for your patience
Hi,
Just checking that your plugin will work for woocommerce listings?
Cheers
Hi,
Sorry for the delay, i was extremely busy. Yes you can use the plugin with woocommerce listings.
Thank you 
Hi Great plugin,
we have it all setup and working great, and would like to pull in custom fileds for the info box to show, image and text.
Can you let us know how to do this?
Thanks T
Hi,
Sorry for the delay, i was extremely busy. To display your custom fields in the infobox, please go to Carousel items settings and make use of the field Items description. You’ll find all the insctructions you need below that field.
Thanks for your patience
I’m having an issue with the infobox disappearing. I’ve been having this problem for a while but now since the website is live and running as of earlier this week it’s a bit more drastic.
http://bassltd.com/board-locations/If you zoom in before clicking a marker, then click the marker, the infobox disappears. Any tips?
Hi,
Sorry for the delay, i was extremely busy. Please note that i’ve tried to reproduce this issue in Chrome, safari, Firefox, Opera, IE, Iphone and Indroid but couldn’t see it.
Thank you
The video didn’t capture the mouse pointer for some reason.
When you double click to zoom, then click a location, the infobox disappears. This happens in Chrome, Opera, Safari, and IE on mac and pc. It does not happen in firefox.
If you don’t double click, and use the + and – images to the left, it does not have the disappearing infobox problem.
On mobile ios, it’s the opposite. The + and – buttons seem to cause the infobox to disappear.
I’ve tested the issue on multiple PC’s, macs, and mobile os’s, all with multiple browsers. I get the same issue on every one.
It only works in firefox. Please try double clicking on the map a few times, and try clicking a marker in Chrome. If I was a customer trying to use the current map I would probably bounce off the site.
Thanks
Please? 
Hi,
Sorry for the delay. I’m extremely busy and that’s why i don’t answer questions promptly.
Please note that i’ve followed your instructions and yes, i can see the problem now when i double click to zoom. In my case, the infobox disappears only on when i click on the first marker but it doesn’t disappears for the other markers. Anyway, i agree that there’s an issue that must be fixed. I’ll try to fix this ASAP. Please bear with me.
Thanks for your patience
How to set map to full screen like this: http://www.transics.com/customers-map-view/ ?
Hi, Sorry for the delay.
You’ll have to create an empty page template if your theme’s doesn’t have one. Here’s an example of the code to create an empty page in case you need it:
1. Create a PHP page inside your theme’s folder. Name it something like “page-empty-progress-map.php” and paste the following code.
<?php
/**
* The template for displaying Progress Map in an empty page
* Template Name: Empty page for Progress Map
*/
wp_head();
while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
the_content();
endwhile;
wp_footer();
?>
2. Create a new page in your administration. In “Page attributes => Template”, select the option “Empty page for Progress Map”.
3. Enter the shortcode in the content of the page.
Thank you
Hi,
This is probably a really stupid question… but can I have more than one regionally different maps on the one site? Or do they all have to be related to the one location as ‘Map Center’ is set un settings?
Thanks, love the plugin!
Hi,
Yes they’ll use the same center point set in “Map center”. To override this, make use of the shortcode attribute center_at to change the center of each map.
Find more about the shortcode attributes at http://www.codespacing.com/progress-map-shortcodes/
Thank you
Thank you!! : )
You’re welcome 
Hi, Is there a way to set “width” & “height” for the main map via the [codespacing_progress_map] shortcode?
basically I want to display my map at different areas of the website with different height.. is it possible?
thanks
Hi,
Unfortunately no. All the maps will use the same height & width but you can override this behavior adding a PHP function in your theme’s functions.php file. So if you’re confortable with a PHP solution, let me know and i’ll show you what to do.
Thank you
Hi, I have a basic understanding of PHP, so if that’s not too much trouble please let me know how I can do something like that. thanks
Hi,
Here’s the code you need. Copy it in your theme’s functions.php file.
function cspm_set_map_height_width_by_page(){
global $post;
$page_id = $post->ID;
if(class_exists('CodespacingProgressMap')){
$ProgressMapClass = CodespacingProgressMap::this();
$height = $ProgressMapClass->layout_fixed_height;
$width = $ProgressMapClass->layout_fixed_width;
if($page_id == '20'){
$height = '500';
$width = '900';
}elseif($page_id == '22'){
$height = '700';
$width = '700';
}
$ProgressMapClass->layout_fixed_height = $height;
$ProgressMapClass->layout_fixed_width = $width;
}
}
add_action('template_redirect', 'cspm_set_map_height_width_by_page');
This code handles only two pages, you can extend it to use unlimited number of pages. To do that, all you need is to copy this part:
elseif($page_id == '22'){
$height = '700';
$width = '700';
}
Note: the IDs 20 and 22 are just examples. You need to change them to your page IDs.
Thank you
thanks a lot guys, you are great!
You’re welcome 
Hello,
I just updated to the newest version of Progress Map 2.7.2 (using the enfold theme) and seem to be having some issues with clicking & scrolling on the map using iOS 7.
Is mobile safari supported using progress map? Are there any settings I might need to change?
Cheers Seth
Hello.
Just wanted to chime in and let you know I found the fix for iOS by adding the following CSS to the div that the map was displayed in:
position: relative !important;
z-index: 999999 !important;
The only thing that doesn’t seem to be working now are the directional buttons in the upper right.
Do you think this might also be z-index or is it a plugin setting?
Cheers Seth
Hi,
Sorry for the delay. Honestly, i’ll have to make some tests to find out the problem. This could be just CSS issues. I’ll try to fix this in a next release ASAP.
Thank you for your patience
Hi,
I simply want to add a 2nd map on the same page. i am using this for the 1st map below;
[codespacing_progress_map]
is this what I add to pull in the 2nd map??
[codespacing_progress_map map_id =”secondary”]
if so where can i create the other map, as only 1 shows up in the page?
hi, Really could do with an answer on this. Thought a simple thing like having 2 maps on one page would be straight forward.
Where do I create the 2nd map, on another page is it? or as a post? how do I get the map id of the 2nd map? How do I pull the ID of the 2nd map into the page with the 2 maps embeded on it?
thanks.
Hi,
Please note that the second map will heritate all the settings of the first map. To override the first map’s settings, you need to use to shortcode attributes. Please refer to http://www.codespacing.com/progress-map-shortcodes/ for more info.
for example, if you want to change the center point of the second map, here’s the shortcode you’ll need to use:
[codespacing_progress_map map_id="map_2" center_at="51.510879,-0.117813"]
Thank you
hi thank you that works.
Another query, If i have only 1 location on each map the bubble above the marker shows up as white/blank, whereas if i have say 2 locations it puts in the number 2, how can i have it to simply show the number 1 or else edit to add text?
also is there a way of customising the colour of the marker and plus/minus buttons in the settings and not via css?
and finally, if I have ‘map style’ settings changed to one of your custom maps, this then shows up on the map itseld with the custom style name in a box, can thsi be hidden via settings also? thanks
??

is there a way of customising the colour of the marker …
- Yes. Please go to Map settings and upload your custom image using the field Marker image.
... and plus/minus buttons in the settings and not via css?
- Yes. Please go to Map settings and upload your custom images using the fields Zoom-in image and Zoom-out image.
I have ‘map style’ settings changed to one of your custom maps, this then shows up on the map itseld with the custom style name in a box, can thsi be hidden via settings also?

http://codecanyon.net/item/progress-map-wordpress-plugin/full_screen_preview/5581719i want to have the carousel hidden and have used the shiortcode thats fine, but how do i get the image into the marker hover circle? where do I upload the image, link from?

??
Hi, Sorry for the delay.
how do I display the map images, like on this page below on the 4th map down ‘Display the Map and hide the Carousel’??;
- To hide the carousel from the shortcode use the attribute carousel. Here’s an example:
[codespacing_progress_map carousel="no"]
how do i get the image into the marker hover circle? where do I upload the image, link from?
- To add an image, simply upload a Featured image to your post and the plugin will display it in both the infobox and carousel.
is there a way of adding a info box with say an address over the map om a transparent layer?
- Unfortunately no, but you can use one of the available infoboxes under Infobox settings => Infobox type
Thank you
