 * Hello,
 * We have installed your plugin and – following the guide – created the API, but
   we have a problem uploading the map. Actually, after a few seconds it disappears
   turning grey, and we can see only the stores’ icons on a grey background.

 * The error shows that the Google Maps library is loaded more than once, and this
   can create issues. Likely not the one you are having one, but it can create other
   problems.
 * Can you enable the compatibility mode on the WPSL settings page -> Tools section,
   and see if that errors goes away?
 * Does it also show the grey map with a default WP theme? Most likely this happens
   because of a CSS rule doing something with the Google Maps images. If it still
   shows with a default theme, then try to disable all other plugins to rule out
   an issue with another plugin.

 * [@preet777](https://wordpress.org/support/users/preet777/) Don’t hijack another
   thread, just create a new one next time.
 * The ID you need to target for the submit button is #wpsl-search-btn. You can 
   set the [background](http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/pr_background-color.asp)
   through CSS.
 * Something like this should work. It sets the background color to white, and the
   font color to black. Just adjust the [color](http://htmlcolorcodes.com/) to whatever
   you want.
 *     ```
       #wpsl-search-btn {
          color: #000 !important; 
          background-color: #fff !important;
       }
       ```

 * Hi Tijmen,
 * We have the same problem. It was always working correctly but now, after typing
   a city and search I just see a grey screen with the icons. I tried to update 
   your plugin to the newest version but that didn’t make a difference.

 * [@asjbakkie](https://wordpress.org/support/users/asjbakkie/) You should start
   a new thread next time instead of continuing an old one, that way I see it quicker.
 * Other people have the issue as well, but it seems to come and go. I don’t see
   any grey areas on your map when I search for Berlin and zoom in and out. I have
   seen it, but it’s not always there.
 * I did some searching and I can across several reason. Simple network issues that
   prevented the correct images from being loaded and other mentioned firewall issue
   that blocked access to a certain Google Maps server. The last one seems unlikely
   since the map works fine now, but temporary network issues might very well be
   the case why it sometimes happens.
 * Nothing in the plugin code changed that handles the map itself.
