If there are no coordinates, the marker defaults to 0,0, which is indeed underneath Gold Coast on the equator.
If your search returns nothing, please try a better search.
thank you for your answer.
Obviously there are no coordinates, so how do i set coordinates? When I define a new location in Events Manager I can enter address, city, etc. but these data obviously isn’t recongnized by Events Manager – OpenStreetMaps.
You cannot manually set the coordinates, not in this plugin nor the native EM.
What address are your trying to add?
Sorry I don’t mean to hijack this post but I am having the same issue so perhaps to get one answer here.
The address I am using is in New Jersey but the marker is on an African Map. Is there a simple resolution to this?
@h2ofilters, please give me the full address you are trying to add. I cannot test “an address in NJ”, of course. 😉
Also, is there a link to your front-end event / location submission form for me to check out?
@stefanfrank,
how do i set coordinates? When I define a new location in Events Manager I can enter address, city, etc.
You have set you OpenCage API key in the settings, right? And you do click “Search Address” after entering (at least) the address field? EM’s Google will launch an auto-search on every key stroke.
this plugin uses the “Search Address” button to keep the number of API calls as low as possible.
It’s a business address at 3163 Marne Highway
Mount Laurel,, NJ 08054. Sorry the site is not live yet but a subdomain.
Here’s the result if I enter:
Address: 3163 Marne Highway
Town: Mount Laurel
and click “Search Address”.

Also, this is the result in the browser console:

So, the plugin seems to be working fine. Without an actual page and its results to look into, I am afraid that’s all I can do.
I am sorry I think they are different. The township address gives you a 7-Eleven store which is different from the non-township address for a daycare-type business. I’ve tried the township before but the business I am working with does not use Township in its address.
Thanks though.
Here is my way around it. Not sure if it’s okay and will not cause conflicts:
I modified the Single location page in the Settings format by simply adding the Google map iframe.
<div style="float:right; margin:0px 0px 15px 15px;">#_LOCATIONMAP <br>
iframe {map code here} </iframe>
</div>
While it works, I hope it will not interfere with the plugin
Even with Township, it’s still showing Africa:
OF COURSE! If you do not store the coordinates, it will use 0,0!!
Search the address, maybe move the marker a little. Save the location.
Or just not use this plugin if you want to do everything manually and use a non-official address.
And your code is very illogical. What “map iframe code”? You provide only half of the information. The plugin only reacts on #_LOCATIONMAP or [locations_map].
The use of this plugin is really really simple…
You type in the address, click “Search Address” and the fields will be filled with the OpenCage search results.
Then you can change any of the fields to your (non-official) liking, without restrictions. As long as you do not click the button again, the coordinates will remain unchanged.
To place the marker on a more specific spot, you can simply drag it after the coordinates have been found.
Not clicking the search button and/of not using the initial right naming, will naturally result in a wrong map.
@duisterdenhaag
Yes, I´ve set up the OpenCage API Key, but I don’t find a “search Address” button?
