Sorry it’s taken me some time to get to the bottom of this one, I wasn’t able to reproduce the problem at home,

I got to the bottom of it in situ today and I have the solution

Please open /wp-content/plugins/wp-google-maps-pro/wp-google-maps-pro_categories.php, and go down to line ~315

Immediately after this line:

if ( !isset( $_POST['parent_category'] ) ) { $cat_parent = 0; } else { $cat_parent = intval( sanitize_text_field( $_POST['parent_category'] ) );}

Please add the following line:

$wpdb->query("ALTER TABLE $wpgmza_tblname_categories ADD COLUMN parent int(11) DEFAULT 0");

This should solve the problem for you

If you need help doing this or don’t feel completely comfortable doing it yourself, please contact me and I’ll repair it for you!

Thank you

Hi all, new here.
Plugin is great, only I’m having issue creating a category too, is the issue that we already have custom categories on our theme?

Plugin allows me to add the category, and I even get the success notification, but nothing appears in the list, even when I go in via Maps>Categories

Cheers

Hi Paul,

This is a known issue when migrating from older versions caused by a missing column in the database, I found out today there is an easy solution, please de-activate and then re-activate both the Basic and Pro plugins, then you should be able to add a category

If you have any further issues please don’t hesitate to get back to me!

Kind regards

Great Thanks Perry, I will try this. FYI, I installed both today for the first time.

I can confirm this worked for me.

Note, when I installed Pro, I had disabled basic first (thinking it was a self contained pro version), I know, read the instructions!, but still, for those who install pro before basic, this may be the issue.

Doing as Perry suggested above worked great.

Same problems, any news how to solve? Or is there only an individual solution possible? THX!

Hi Conanii,

This problem is caused by a migration issue where in the “parent” column for the “categories” table is not properly created

Please deactivate the plugin (both Basic and Pro if applicable) and reactivate. This will cause the column to be created and solve the issue

If that doesn’t solve the issue please get back to me and I’ll resolve this for you personally

Kind regards
