Je n'arrive pas à comprendre à quoi cela peut être du. Si vous avez des pistes, n'hésitez pas à m'aiguillez pour trouver la solution et ainsi obtenir un affichage complet sur tous les ordinateurs. J'ai également régler les paramètres dans mon navigateur, partager ma localisation, supprimer les données, vider le cache, autoriser cookies tiers, activer javascript etc mais rien n'y fait. Pour info, les cartes ont été générées via un code court intégré dans Elementor et j'ai utilisé le moteur Leaflet Map. Merci d'avance. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/0cee690c335bbe64688b424118d2461fac1d0657254c4a36f53919045cdde6ff? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[functional with display bugs](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/functional-with-display-bugs/)󠁿 [LEXPROD SAS, NORMAND Alexandre](https://profiles.wordpress.org/lexprodsas/) March 16, 2024 1 reply The module works on the whole, but there are some bugs that make it difficult for moderators to manage content. The "edit" and "delete" icons are not displayed.Category names do not support strings of characters with apostrophes. Support doesn't seem to want to make any effort to fix this. I hope a fix will be made soon. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/18dec45d93c7146d8c97adb10a51d5bcaa6dceb91935cc06968afc25cd6b73cb? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Error at line 19 after update](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-at-line-19-after-update/)󠁿 [johnnybravo69](https://profiles.wordpress.org/johnnybravo69/) January 12, 2024 1 reply Great plugin for showing maps but after updating from Version 1.2.13 to Version 1.2.16 I get this error message on the top of each page: Warning: Undefined array key "align" in /var/www/sitenamehere/public_html/wp-content/plugins/ultimate-maps- by-supsystic/modules/maps/views/tpl/mapsMapStyles.php on line 19 ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fa607622c39567babc37627d02cae6f5cf48a0bb132138327ed9583fa7be6309? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Great plugin – I love it!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-plugin-i-love-it-36/)󠁿 [PeterServatius](https://profiles.wordpress.org/peterservatius/) December 17, 2023 4 replies I truly love this plugin, which suits exactly what I need and is easy to work with. I wanted a plugin that shows a map which is not connected to Google Maps (I use OSM) and that's what this plugin offers.The only reason why I did not give 5 stars is, that the Ukrainian flag is forced to show up. Even though I can understand the background, I don't want any political message or signal on my website. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/c9f9aa25708b5b7dc5294b6caf9184514e0b0995139a57bc7d648e45d8a466f7? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[The best I’ve found](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/the-best-ive-found-9/)󠁿 [2276wpam](https://profiles.wordpress.org/2276wpam/) November 4, 2023 1 reply I have had it with going through 9 levels of hell with Google Maps API and the absurdly complicated and paid plugins needed to use them. Not only is this plugin easier to use with all the features I would ever need, it frees me from Google Maps with other equally good maps to use. Get it and free yourself from Google's tyranny!
