    Hi Nick & other Aesop users,

    First of all, great work on the plugin. Love how easy you make it to include full-width images, quotes and other content into posts.

    However, I’ve been trying to get the Maps Component to work in both Chrome and Safari but unfortunately without much success.

    In my Chrome dev console in the backend on the WordPress post I receive the error:
    “Uncaught Error: Invalid LatLng object: (45.6982642, NaN)”

    I suppose there is an issue with finding the Lat and Long when I search for locations and I think the custom field isn’t saving and therefore the map does not appear on the frontend. I read somewhere that this may be due to a Map zoom field which should be field in with Mapbox.

    I even tried with a clean install of WordPress + Aesop Story Engine but unfortunately the error is still appearing. On the front end I only see the h2 tag for the Map marker title.

    Hope you have some time to help out, again I can work my way around it but would love to use ASE to render out maps because of the ease of use.

    Best,
    Alexander

    Hey Alexander,

    Thanks for the compliments.

    Just to be sure, are you running ASE 1.3.2?

    It sounds like you have already entered in your own Mapbox id. I think there’s one step in the process that is missing. Perhaps you could send us a screen video, or several screenshots. That would be great.

    To help you with the Maps Component, we have a great docs page here: https://aesopstoryengine.com/help/maps-component/

    Hi Michael,

    Yes I’m running ASE 1.3.2

    I switched themes, re-installed the plugin which didn’t work.

    But now I seem to have fixed the problem by generating a new map in Mapbox and inserting the new code into my theme. Maybe good to add this to your docs page. If maps stop working suggest to make a new Mapbox Map ID ??

    Just wondering, how I should go about inserting the map marker selection box in the admin area of my custom post? I edited the plugin for now but would rather hook into a function.

    Did you get this worked out @atpdejong ? To insert a map marker, you just click inside the map and it adds it. Click it again and you’ll be able to add text to the marker. Instructions are located up top in the Screen Help tab, in addition to here:

    Thanks Nick, everything is working great!

    Hi,

    After I’ve added the Mapbox MapID in Aesop Story Engine Field I only get a grey map with maker. What’ the reason for that? How can I fix that?

    Best

    Hey Andre,

    Have you updated to the latest maps in ASE? What version of ASE are you running?
