 * Using the Google maps V3 shortcode latest version, I updated WordPress to 3.1.2,
   map not showing up.
    Great little plugin for WordPress

 * It seems to be on my Webkit browsers, Safari and Chrome.
    Very odd.

 * Have it running, seriously weird, I don’t have any idea why, I was going to start
   turning on and off all the other plugins until it worked.

 * Looks like it need to be fixed for WP 3.2.1 … also not working on this version
   on a plain installation.

 * It looks like the issue is here in the plugin:
 *     ```
       $returnme .= '</script>';
       		return $returnme;
       	?>
       ```
   
 * revise it to this to get it to work:
 *     ```
       $returnme .= '</script>';
       		return str_replace("\r\n", '', $returnme);
       	?>
       ```

 * Sigh, so much promise and so easy to use but still not working properly in Safari
   on a Mac and zkwentz’s fix (above) doesn’t fix it either. Weirdly enough about
   half the maps on the developers page of examples do display in Safari, and the
   others don’t, although some then did when I tried to grab and drag the blank 
   map area. I’ve tried looking at the source code of that page but can’t see any
   obvious link between those that work and those that don’t.

 * sydatbliz, my fix ended up being a temporary fix. It came down to the theme being
   an issue. Sometimes they do this thing with shortcodes and their formatter, and
   it screws them up. I can almost guarantee it’s a theme if that’s what you’re 
   using.
 * Look for the **my_formatter** function in shortcodes.php, if that function exists,
   it’s messing up your shortcode.

 * Thanks zkwentz. I realised a few days after my last post that the problem was
   somehow Theme related as it all worked in Safari when I changed to the Gantry
   theme from the TwentyTen theme.
 * Of course the initial problem seems to a combination of OS, browser & theme, 
   so I guess I’ll have to wait until the site goes live and someone eventually 
   writes to the site saying that it doesn’t work with Gantry on their particular
   mix of OS and browser before I’ll ever know!
