# Transparent markers error

 * Dear sir/madame,
 * After updating to the latest version of Ready! Google Maps plugin there seems
   to be a little bug in the plugin.
    I made and uploaded a icon with transparent
   background. That one worked well and is displayed the way I want it to. With 
   the latest version of Ready! Google Maps when I create a new marker and use exactly
   the same icon the background is white instead of transparent. I already uploaded
   the icon again, but same problem. Can you please help me with this issue? Thanks
   in advance.
 * Kind regards,
 * Jensl

 * Hello.
    In your theme style.css [http://www.dexlamedia.co.uk/wp-content/themes/mystile/style.css](http://www.dexlamedia.co.uk/wp-content/themes/mystile/style.css)
   file there are code around line 829: .post img, .type-page img { background: 
   none repeat scroll 0 0 #fff; border: 1px solid #e8e4e3; display: block; height:
   auto !important; max-width: 100%; padding: 0.53em; } Actually, this line: background:
   none repeat scroll 0 0 #fff; make it’s background – white. Try to remove this
   and tell me results.

 * Thanks for your reply int3rc3ptor.
    I’m also using the Mystile theme and found
   this code in my style sheet:
 * .post img,
    .type-page img { padding: .53em; border: 1px solid #e8e4e3; background:#
   fff; max-width: 100%; height: auto !important; display: block;
 * Also removed the background color line but nothing did change.
    Anyone knows 
   how to fix this?
 * Thanks in advance.

 * Tried to take the whole background attribute out completely and now the white
   backgrounds are gone.

    Please read my comments
   above, you have exactly same problem, in your theme styles file [http://www.groentebuur.nl/wp-content/themes/mystile/styles/green.css](http://www.groentebuur.nl/wp-content/themes/mystile/styles/green.css)
   around line 829 you have: .post img, .type-page img { background: none repeat
   scroll 0 0 #fff; So you theme just set it’s background as white.

 * Allright, I changed it into
    background: none;
 * That worked for me! Thanks for your support!

 * Also, you should know, that we included this style:
    .gmp_MapPreview img { background:
   none !important; } specially for you – to prevent background in images appear.
   Good luck.
