Our company used this plugin 4 years ago and it turns out that Google recently cut any access to the maps API if you don’t have an API key.
So, if your maps turn grey and show a message “for development purpose only”, you need to :
– go to https://console.developers.google.com and create an account, so you can
– create an API key in the google maps section
– edit the file wp-content/plugins/google-maps-ready/modules/gmap/views/gmap.php
line 13 change :
$this->_gmapApiUrl = ‘https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?’. http_build_query($urlParams);
to
$this->_gmapApiUrl = ‘https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=MY_GOOGLE_MAPS_KEY_I_JUST_CREATED&’. http_build_query($urlParams);
and it will work again.
I actually spent good money on the Google Maps Ready! Pro plugin from Ready ( at https://readyshoppingcart.com/product/google-maps-plugin) and first time I had some questions or issue, they just didn’t respond back!
4 times I wrote to them begging them to give me some kind of response of whether what I was trying to do was supported or not. I got no response whatsoever.
After spending many hours trying to adjust the plugin to our requirements, I gave up.
To avoid others having the same problems I did, I therefore can’t recommend this plugin!
I spent money on Maps Marker Pro instead, and they’ve been helpful when I had need of guidance.
Use your money on plugins, where people actually give a damn..
]]>Been using Google Maps Ready! Pro for a few years now .. and I like it a lot (despite some shortcomings). Had a small question this morning, so I tried to go to the developer website to either check the docs or ask a support question ..
Guess what .. no website. And I see the plug-in has been pulled from the WP directory.
Anyone know what happened?
Anyone know of a viable alternative?
]]>When you add a tag displays the message:
” Database error . Contact your dealer .”
Does anyone know how to fix it, because I bought the full version and unfortunately I can not use it.
Hello.
I have the pro version and I added a thumbnail in the visual editor for one of my markers, I used the “ADD MEDIA” button to add the image. In the [link rel] field I typed lightbox, so I got this code in the front end:
<a href="https://acolombiantraveler.com/wp-content/uploads/2bycountry_vilnius2.jpg" rel="lightbox"><img class="wp-image-2035 size-thumbnail alignleft" src="https://acolombiantraveler.com/wp-content/uploads/2bycountry_vilnius2-150x150.jpg" alt="2bycountry_vilnius2" width="150" height="150"></a>
The rel=”lightbox” is there, but the image opens in a _self target instead of the lightbox.
The image is the marker number 1 in this map: https://acolombiantraveler.com/2bycountry/
My question is: What is wrong with my settings so I cant use the lightbox in the marker?
thanks
]]>Just updated to the latest version of the plugin, and now all the markers seem to be set to “bounce” animation. And they just keep bouncing forever after being clicked, even after others are clicked – end up with a map full of bouncing markers! Here’s the page. https://route97.net/highlights-map/interactive-map/
(I’ve already edited the 10 red markers to “none” as per below, they don’t bounce any more)
When I edit any individual marker, the Animation selection is set to blank. I think it should be set to “none” (since I had no animation before the update). Or at least, if blank, the default should be no animation. I have over 75 markers so updating and saving each one individually is a huge pain. How can I set them all to “none” at once? Or can you fix the plugin so the blank setting for animation is equivalent to “none”?
]]>Installed and activated on WP 4.0.1. Immediately upon activation, the dashboard lit up with errors: headers already sent, and over 4,000 lines of unexpected output. Not sure if it’s worked well in previous versions or not, but it needs some work for 4.0.1.
]]>Hi guys,
So when I begin to type in an address to enter a marker, it begins the search worldwide. I only want my map to be limited to Ireland.
I am assuming the plugin pulls in the addresses from Google Maps and I know that if I search an address in a more loacalised google maps (like “Maps.google.co.uk” or “maps.google.ie”), I get results in the auto-complete that are within that country.
It’s a small feature but if there’s just one line of code I have to change where I import the map from maps.google.ie rather than maps.google.com, then I might as well.
Some users who have used the address bit in my site said they’d prefer if they weren’t getting results in Rio de Jeniero when searching for their own house!
Thanks for your help
Luke
]]>There are a few places in the Google Maps Ready code that trigger PHP warning messages due to the code’s use of undefined variables.
On line 3, you use WPLANG without checking if it is defined. It should have something like:
if (!defined('WPLANG')) {
On line 146 of html.php you use the index ‘value’ without first checking if it exists.
On line 276 of html.php you use $params['hideMethodInside'] without first checking it.
Hi all,
it would be really cool if the development team can add the possibility to dynamically define a area like here :)… I’m sure it will be a true more improvement for number of us ;)…
Is that possible?
TIA,
Pierre.
]]>The new change log says “Possibility to post markers by users from frontend – PRO ” does that mean it can possible be used for members in a buddypress capacity. I would like users to have their own map with places traveled.
]]>Hi all,
This is not the first topic I guess about this, but I could not find a solution so thanks in advance for having a look.
The map is not showing here: https://thaiscambraia.com/?page_id=376
It must have something to do with the footer template, though here I have the WP footer () implemented….
Whats wrong here? There must be something not working correctly in the template. The plugin is fine, since it is working fine here on this postpage I just inserted as a test -> https://thaiscambraia.com/?p=190
big thanks

]]>Hi there!
I was wondering if this plugin has the ability to collect stats (for ex. how many markers are on the map, or how many in a certain category) and then display that number beside the map using shortcode?
Thanks!
]]>Ver 4.3.1
This used to work just fine, but now maps are not displayed. Not sure, but it could have been after the latest update.
I’ve checked in the footer and have
‘<?php wp_footer(); ?>’
Maps should appear on the following page
https://www.thelaurels.co.uk/location
Any thoughts?
]]>I have multiple posts each with a separate location map – it works well.
However what I would like to do is to show the other locations when zooming out.
Is that possible?

]]>Hi, I have the PRO version of this plugin and I was wondering if it’s possible for visitors of the website to place a marker on the map that they’re viewing (for other viewers to see it etc.).
I don’t want them to have to log in to the site.
Is it even possible? Does it take a lot of work to implement?
Thanks for any and all help

]]>When I select table style 1 from the PRO styles, the option “Show only visible markers in list” doesn’t work.
When I select table style 2, it does work. See https://skaten.groothuismink.nl/
In Google maps ready I have enabled searching.
My site is in dutch (Netherlands) and I like to zoom in the map by typing in a location and a distance (in km not in miles). Is this possible?

Been through all the posts about making sure the <?php get_footer(); ?> is in the footer.php and the page.php and it still does not work. What is the conflict here and why can’t this just work like it was intended to?
All that is visible is the shortcode, not the map.
]]>Hi, congratulations on a great plugin!
The free version worked perfectly until recently I discovered that when I click on the button “Add new map” then instead of world map there is gray area on the right. Also while adding markers the page says “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.”. I myself am administrator with full rights so that’s a bit surprising.
The site is here: https://actiwhey.com
There are two maps with markers.
Hi,
I am using the plugin on a site, but it does not seem that responsive. All other elements adjust to tablets and phonbes, but readymaps stays large and does not look very good.
Is there anything I can do about this.
]]>I noticed on the description page there is an example of the short codes used. Where would I find the other options available?
I’m specifically looking for map types (Hybrid, etc.) and perhaps removing the country outlines.

This way I would be able to add locations a lot faster.
Hi,
Is it possible to change the icons for an entire group of markers instead of changing each marker one by one? I have 200+ markers.
Hi,
I successfully imported 8 markers from a CSV file, and they are now part of a marker group and listed in the markers section. How do I add the markers to a map?
