Go back to 4.1.5. Also, can you check your error logs for any clues?

OK , back on 4.1.5 , still seeing the same issue.
Here is the error I see in the web server log file :-

Were you using the Wikimedia Maps provider? I had to remove it in 4.1.5.as they stopped providing it. If that’s it, if you change providers, it should fix…

I thought I had fixed that problem in 4.1.6 for people who still had it set.

I had :-
Map Provider = Mapbox.
Geo Provider = OpenStreetMap Nominatim.

Changed them both to Big maps , and now the site is working as expected again.
Also upgraded back up to 4.1.7 and still working.

Thank you so much , sorry for wasting your time.
Mark.

That shouldn’t happen…. but if you change it back now, it should work… somehow the setting got corrupted. I will put in extra safety checks for the provider being null.

Is there anything else about the plugin you would want? I’m always adding things.

I went through the entire list of Map Providers and my site shows no content when I also choose LocationIQ or Geoapify.

Yandex is the only provider which shows an actual map , the rest just show a link to an external site with the coordinates. Is this the expected behaviour ?

The only thing I was going to ask about is having a pointer on the displayed map , like when sharing a location on OpenStreetMap , but luckily Yandex is providing that as-is.

Thank you for the plugin and excellent support , again!
Mark.

Everything but Yandex requires an API key. Did you add one for the other services?

I just redid all the markers

Just signed up at mapbox.com , created an access token , added the username and API Key to the settings but it still just shows a link with coordinates , not the inline map like Yandex.
Weird.

I’m not sure…I checked all of them this weekend before release and everything was working.

I have a self hosted option if you are a bit technical.

Perhaps mapbox.com takes a while to kick in ?
I will check it again in a few days.

Although I think I am a ‘bit technical’ it is likely nowhere near your ‘bit technical’ although it does sound tempting.
Do you have any details written up anywhere ?

I mention it in my website, but intend to do a write-up. I modified an old php script to act as an API to generate OpenStreetMap tiles into a static map.

https://github.com/dshanske/Static-Maps-API-PHP

It can be used with the custom provider. You could in theory host the tiles yourself, but that’s 50+ GB. I set it to cache the generated map in Nginx for a few days.

Yep , our ‘technical’ levels are a good distance apart.
Thanks for the invitation though.

That’s why I figured the third-party hosted providers were more reliable for most.
