Google Maps embed feature not working
-
I have followed all instructions on the wordpress.com support page explaining how to embed Google Maps (http://en.support.wordpress.com/google-maps/) and continue to be unsuccessful. After I paste the Google Maps iframe code into the HTML editor, wordpress.com appears to successfully convert the html code into the Google Maps shortcode. When I publish, however, all that shows up is a link to view a larger version of the map on Google.com.

Mac OS X:
– Firefox 5
– Safari 5.05
– Chrome 12.0
– Opera 11.11Microsoft Windows:
– Internet Explorer 9
– Internet Explorer 8

I believe I am having the same problem. I followed the tutorial:
http://en.support.wordpress.com/google-maps/
but, using FF 6, there is no HTML being generated for the map.
When I first paste the link into the HTML tab of the page, a box appears on the visual tab, but when I press update, and the HTML is changed to a shortcode, the map disappears. -

Yea, I just created the blog, but was making a page. Now I’ve made a post titled ‘Test Post’ in
http://truslowe.wordpress.com/
I also tried this in Safari and had the same result. Here is the shortcode that is being generated,
[googleapps domain="www" dir="maps" query="f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Los+Angeles,+CA&aq=0&sll=42.358431,-71.059773&sspn=0.432298,0.55481&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Los+Angeles,+California&z=10&ll=34.052234,-118.243685&output=embed" width="425" height="350" /]Looks like it should be creating a

Having the exact same issue. All worked well earlier today. Now all of a sudden after I paste and update the code changes to a link…

Does anyone have a resolution on this? It’s still broken. Copy the embedded over and it becomes a link :-(

Would you please provide us with the iFrame code that Google is giving you?
Please post it here within backticks (the key between the tab and esc keys).

Ditto! My iframe code is:
<iframe width="500px" height="300px" scrolling="no" src="http://www.google.com/fusiontables/embedviz?viz=MAP&q=select+col1+from+1306814+&h=false&lat=12.813722478565737&lng=77.48127709960933&z=9&t=1&l=col1"></iframe>and the shortcode that automatically gets generated is:
[googleapps domain="www" dir="fusiontables/embedviz" query="viz=MAP&q=select+col1+from+1306814+&h=false&lat=12.813722478565737&lng=77.48127709960933&z=9&t=1&l=col1" width="500" height="300" /]Thanks in advance.
