Can’t set marker with right click on map

[jkellogg]

I updated WordPress and a number of plugins today, then tested to be sure my site was working as should, only to discover that the WP Google Maps – Visitor Generated Markers plugin wouldn’t let me right click on the map to place a marker. It won’t work on a mobile device either. I don’t know if this problems existed before the updates or not, but the last update I did before today was towards the end of January, and things worked then. We have a number of WP Google Map plugins, including:

WP Google Maps
WP Google Maps – Gold Add-on
WP Google Maps – Pro Add-on
WP Google Maps – Visitor Generated Markers

I checked the settings for VGM and “Enable Visitor Generated Markers” is set to yes. I’m also able to add markers in the map edit panel in Maps admin, so it works there, just not on the user side. Here’s a link to our map page: https://www.ourlakecounty.org/map/. Feel free to try to set a marker for testing purposes. When I check my browser’s developer console I see these warning messages:

“This page uses the non standard property “zoom”. Consider using calc() in the relevant property values, or using “transform” along with “transform-origin: 0 0”
&
“Minified script is out of date, using combined script instead.”

I’m not sure those are causing the problem or not. Google searches aren’t really giving me any answers. I don’t currently have access to the server so I can’t check any system or web server logs for further information. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

I forgot to mention that I can put coordinates in the form on our page, and approve the marker on the admin side, so that kind of works, but people using our site are more apt to use right click to place a marker, and if that doesn’t work they’re likely to give up.

Hi there,

Thank you so much for getting in touch, we really appreciate your time.

Could I kindly ask you to confirm what versions of WP Google Maps, WP Google Maps Pro, and the VGM addon are currently installed?

I believe this issue was corrected in VGM V3.31 so simply updating should help correct this issue.

I look forward to hearing back from you.

Kindest Regards,
Steven De Beer
