Well, you still haven’t given us a link to your blog so that’s the best we can do. We don’t even know if you are hosted here.

Actually, yes, we can use google maps on our WordPress.COM blogs.
https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/how-to-show-a-google-map-on-sidebar?replies=18#post-222615The instructions are here http://faq.wordpress.com/2008/07/03/using-google-maps/
Works just fine too. :)

@justjeniffer, thx i read the instruction before, , Number 7 doesn’t work.
7) Click Save. You will notice that the code has changed; WordPress has converted the code from Google Maps into the required shortcode.

@vivianpaige Ok. Now is this thread published.
before save:
<iframe width=”300″ height=”300″ frameborder=”0″ scrolling=”no” marginheight=”0″ marginwidth=”0″ src=”http://maps.google.com/maps?client=opera&q=google&ie=UTF8&oe=utf-8&s=AARTsJpYhTgyHgXy3eJpw_jP4f-O91os8g&ll=37.09024,-95.712891&spn=20.981197,26.367188&z=4&output=embed”></iframe>

Now, that IS odd. That particular google map doesn’t convert to a shortcode. Haven’t a clue why.
The only thing I can suggest is try recreating the map and copying the new HTML code into the Visual Editor.
-
And contrary to what the FAQ advides against, I took the above codes, converted them into the shortcode format myself, and they both work:
[googlemaps http://maps.google.com/maps?client=opera&q=Los+Angeles&ie=UTF8&oe=utf-8&g=Los+Angeles&s=AARTsJol_5LWlYjqNUN3ic3CD9JkYCUfQg&ll=34.311681,-118.108521&spn=0.680587,0.823975&z=9&iwloc=addr&output=embed&w= 300&h= 300]
[googlemaps http://maps.google.com/maps?client=opera&q=google&ie=UTF8&oe=utf-8&s=AARTsJpYhTgyHgXy3eJpw_jP4f-O91os8g&ll=37.09024,-95.712891&spn=20.981197,26.367188&z=4&output=embed&w= 300&h= 300] -
Ah, the codes didn’t register correctly. It should be:
[googlemaps ALL_THE_PART_FROM_HTTP_TO_EMBED&w=300&h=300] -
where I can find the synthax to translate the code into shortcode, there a special pages , which make this translation?

http://viewer2008.wordpress.com/2008/11/06/test-google-map/
this code works:
[googlemaps http://maps.google.com/maps?client=opera&q=google&ie=UTF8&oe=utf-8&s=AARTsJpYhTgyHgXy3eJpw_jP4f-O91os8g&ll=37.09024,-95.712891&spn=20.981197,26.367188&z=4&output=embed&w= 300&h= 300]
Now I have to learn how I can translate html Code to shortform code, any hints?

I’ve seen in a few instances – when the map code is not converted to a shortcode – that the language parameter in the URL of the map is not set to “en”. If you are viewing Google Maps in a different language than English, you will need to change this parameter in the URL. We’ve recently stumbled across this after a few reports.
-
@viewer2008: Seems we’ve got a misunderstanding. The model I gave above, and the code you pasted now, IS the shortcode. That’s what would come up if you pasted the full code and the wp coverter worked, that’s what you paste in your post – no more to do.
