Here’s a link showing the results of the following shortcodes if that helps

https://cambridgevisitor.co.uk/places

[wpgeo_mashup]

[wpgeo_mashup post_type=”places”]

[wpgeo_mashup post_type=”events”]

[wpgeo_mashup post_type=”places, events”]

I have WP set up as network multi-site if that makes any difference

With [wpgeo_mashup post_type=”places,events”] I get the default map (not the world map) with no geotags, just blank.

“post_type” works for more than 1 post type when used in the shortcode?

Thanks for the quick reply!
[wpgeo_mashup post_type=”places”] works fine – that is it displays all ‘places’

I tried [wpgeo_mashup post_type=”places”, “events”] – but this displayed a map of the world with no posts

Also i tried [wpgeo_mashup post_type=”places” “events”] – but this displayed only places

Also, do I need to put this “add_post_type_support( ‘places’, ‘wpgeo’ );” code into my functions.php file as the checkbox for this custom post already shows up in my wp geo settings page?

With shortcode
[wpgeo_mashup]

Here’s the exact code

// add custom posts types for WP Geo
add_post_type_support( ‘places’, ‘wpgeo’ );
// end function

I’ve tried this but no luck:(

I inserted the above code with “my-post-type” replaced with my custom post type “events” but all I get on my map page is geotagged posts from the normal posts type…

Any suggestions?
thanks

Sorry that’s Open STREET Map not open source map…

Yep, here also:(

OK, fair enough, and maybe I was slightly harsh.
But with publishing these plugins to us naive ‘users’ there is surely some element of responsibility – I can understand the crazy situation with the Christmas Day requests, this is truly unbelievable – but in the case of plugins like gpress a user may intend to be mapping hundreds or even thousands of locations, and if it turns out that the plugin will not do what it has been intended to do the user may then have to migrate to another plugin. Without the programming skills to transfer coordinates, this might mean re-mapping all the locations again – and most people like you also have full time jobs and a family, and are time constrained.
All I ask is that there is transparency – I don’t care if the plugin will take another ten years to get to the next release as long as I have some idea.

So, just to be absolutely clear without being antagonising, when you say that “I will certainly return to this project – in some-shape or form” does this mean that the project is on hold for now. If so, no problem and I can happily go on may way and look for another plugin to do the job. If not, then could you tell me approx when you expect the next release to be?

I think this plugin has massive potential, hence the degree of frustration in my last post, and if developed I think users would be happy to pay for this – at least I would.

I am sorry to say this, but I have been following gpress for a while and it DID promise a lot. But in actual fact it delivers relatively little. I know it takes a fair ammount of effort to produce something good, but it’s always better to under sell than over sell. Gpress has definitely been over sold. Also I followed a recent link to geopress via gpress but found that this plugin is to be discontinued as the developers had moved on to mongopress.
I think that you guys are surely talented, but I’ve got no idea where you are going with this. Not to mention the fact that other plugins are now moving above and beyind what gpress does or even promises to do.
If you’d focused on gpress and nothing but gpress(instead of geopress, mongopress etc etc, I am sure you would have produced something amazing.
I await the new version hoping for something ground breaking – but I feel that I will again be disapointed. I hope that I am wrong and the gpress people produce something amazing ??

Ovidiu – I regret to say you are correct – at the moment there is nothing special here – and you may as well just use some other geotag and custom post type plugins

cool

WOW! Fast response! Will give it ago.

just tried it…Yes it does…cheers for that
