Thanks for the above. It would seem that to work a lot more than just the javascript API needs to be enabled. Now this has been done maps works.

The next problem I have encountered is with importing places.

I have followed the instructions as best as possible as they are somewhat vague. I manually entered 3 places, exported them to the Libreoffice spreadsheet and re-uploaded them which appeared to work!

I then entered a couple of new places but was unclear from the instructions what actually needed to be included. I assumed the gd_place was required? I also added the post_category and default_category as there are no instructions as to whether one or the other of these or both should be included. I could then only add the address, city, country, telephone and email fields as I did not have other data. This uploaded but when I checked Places, after clicking Tools and Term Counts I found the Place was displayed, as was the Category, but no address, tel No or email. It displayed as Pending!

On opening the place to edit no category was registered, everything on the Place, apart from the Title(name), was blank. I then entered the data manually, and published but then found all the data was removed. I tried adding it again and Updated but with the same result, the data disappeared.

I had to delete the Place and add it manually for it to retain the information on the Place listing.

Since then I have tried a variety of different options, omitting, for example ,1120, as post_category and only including the options on the spreadsheet that I have data for and are the items needed to include on the Place record. Nothing works, unfortunately.

I have attached a screenshot of a spreadsheet for information. The top list are those exported and the one single entry at the base of the list is one attempted to import without success.

I am not clear, and the import instructions are not clear as to which or what columns need to be completed before import. For example “Publish” or “author” or “post_date” but I would not normally expect these items to be needed only those items to be actually recorded on the Place listing.

I did try only importing the needed data but the only difference was that it appeared as a draft, instead of pending but updating manually caused the same problem with the data being deleted when published.

Any advice welcome.

Thanks
