simplemaps

Thanks for your kind words eloou. If you have the time, I’d appreciate it if you would leave a review.

This was a theme-specific problem. Marked as resolved.

Hi eloou,

You can adjust the dimensions of the map by adding the following code to the end of your continentmap.js file (and then reuploading it):

//Tweak map dimensions
simplemaps_continentmap_mapinfo.calibrate.ratio=2;
simplemaps_continentmap_mapinfo.calibrate.x_adjust=-250;
simplemaps_continentmap_mapinfo.calibrate.y_adjust=-60;

The above settings will get rid of the extra vertical space. Feel free to tweak them. The ratio is the width of the map divided by the height. Let me know how it goes.

Loiruca,

Can you try the images_directory approach and then send a url where you are testing the map to:
[email protected]
I should be able to pinpoint the problem.

Hi Loiruca,
Sorry to hear you are having trouble. The map looks for the map_images folder in the same directory as the continentmap.js file. However, you can overwrite this by adding:
images_directory: 'https://yoursite.com/map_images/',
to the main_settings of the mapdata.js file (where you replace the above url with the location of the map_images folder on your website). Let me know if the problem persists after you do this.

Try adding this to the template:
<?php echo do_shortcode(“[simplemaps]”); ?>

Unfortunately, this isn’t possible with this plugin. Sorry!

Try upgrading to the latest version of the continent map at:
https://simplemaps.com/resources/free-continent-map
that should solve your problem.

Hi Owaiskl,
Sorry for the delay in responding and thanks for your kind words about the plugin. The map can be used in a responsive design. You just need to replace:
width: ‘750’,
with
width: ‘responsive’
in other words, use the string ‘responsive’ instead of a number in the main_settings of the mapdata.js file. To learn more, you can see:

Hi spanglishwebs,

This is not possible with our free continent map. It is possible with our commercial world map that is compatible with the plugin. You just need to create a world map and go to the settings and change the “initial zoom” to 2 and the “initial zoom only” to yes. Here is an example:
