    • Good day

      Could you please advise on how I can fix this urgently?

      Thanks

    • 1. can you please clear server cache (and browser cache)
      2. please check you have the latest versions of everything... joomla, gantry, rt extensions and template (backup before you upgrade anything).

      3. if still no good Please would you PM URL, superuser id and pswd and i'll have a look for you.

      Regards, Mark.

    • Ok happy to look for you thanks for login details - but would you mind upgrading joomla to 2.5.14 first please as this is the latest stable version. Then clear server cache again and tell me if it then works or not and I can then look for you.

      Regards, Mark.

    • Ok, I know exactly what this is because it happened to me on one of my client sites yesterday....

      Google in their infinite wisdom have changed their google maps API... you are using the googlemaps plugin (mosmap) v 2.18. This does not work with the new API. You need to upgrade to v3.1 of this plugin.

      FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS HERE VERY CAREFULLY http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/maps-a-weather/maps-a-locations/maps/1147 .

      Regards, Mark.
