Grey map border/backup loads but map content does not display

Current themse is K2 which I understand has some compatibility issues with
GeoMashup however the same happens when using several other themes.

I think this is happening because requests are being redirected to zims.com 
without
the www. You could remove the www from your WordPress URL and Blog URL settings 
to
remedy the problem.

Thanks for the suggestion.  I updated my Wordpress URL and Blog URL removing 
the www
in both cases but no change in the results, still get controls and background 
but no
"content" for the maps.  I also double checked the API key to make sure it was 
valid
for zims.com vs www.zims.com and it is correct.

Now the problem is your theme's CSS. You can add this to your stylesheet to fix 
it:

#primary #geoMashup img {margin:0; padding:0; border:none; max-width:none; }
#geoMashup div {margin:0; padding:0;}

Hello,
I have the same problem, using WP 2.1.2 Geo Mashup 1.0.1, but Theme vSlider2 
from
http://irui.ac/cool-stuff/vslider2-g2/

I tried to fix it using the additional code for the vSlider stylesheet.css, but 
it
still doesn't work in IE (Firefox no problem).

Current Stylesheet:
http://www.koelnliebe.de/wp-content/themes/vSlider2/style.css

Maybe you can help me.

I suspect this CSS:

p img { ... }

I need to learn the cascading rules better, but adding a 'p' selector might 
help:

#geoMashup p img {margin:0; padding:0; max-width:none;}

Thanks for your answer, but unfortunately this doesn't help. I'm trying now 
since
hours to fix it, but I'm getting to tired to work on for today (tonight)...

It must have something to do with the theme, of course, but it seems not to be 
the
style.css file. Even if I delete all the formattings included in this file, the
Google Map is still grey in IE (cache deleted...).

I will try another time. But vSlider2 it's a really nice theme, especially if 
WP is
set up with Menalto Gallery2 together. Have you ever seen this theme? I would 
be very
nice to use your great plugin in combination with pictures from the gallery. For
example, instead of the last post the current album could be shown to a specific
place in the googlemap. Maybe you know this feature from flickr? If not, have a 
look:
http://www.flickr.com/map/ Just click on one of the numbers, then your see what 
I mean.

Anyway, if you like the theme as well (and will install it) and get it fixed 
with Geo
Mashup, let me know.

I have one more idea you could try. I notice that if you change the map type, 
the
tiles appear. You might be able to simulate this with a line in a custom.js 
file: 

mashup.map.checkResize();

I'll attach an example.

Unfortunately your advice doesn't help. But basically your are right! Changing 
the 
map type manually helps. Is it possible to simulate this with at another place, 
not 
in the custom.js? Maybe the page must be first completely loaded...

Hi

I am new to Wordpress and plugins, so please ignore any ignorant comments.

I am also experiencing the same problem with the grey map displayed: 
http://www.2muppets.com/?page_id=62

I have installed and activated the latest beta version of Geo-mashup. I have 
applied 
a Google API key that points to http://2muppets.com and adjusted to the blog 
URLK 
settings to say the same.

I have also inserted the style.css adjustements listed above, latest version: 
http://2muppets.com/wp-content/themes/vistered-little-1/style.css

Any help would be much appreciated.
Jody

You've found a new problem with the default permalink structure. It looks like 
there
might be more than one problem - I'm going to start a new issue for it.
