  Dear all,

  I am a blogger from Thailand. I am experiencing the problem that I tried to embed this google maps html code in my blog post as usal.

  <iframe width="620" height="250" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msa=0&msid=204709100289559870366.0004c00f8236c176e322f&ie=UTF8&t=m&ll=13.790926,100.542444&spn=0.002605,0.006641&z=17&output=embed"></iframe>

  But after clicking “Update” botton, the code are converted into this instead of googlemaps short code.

  https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msa=0&msid=204709100289559870366.0004c00f8236c176e322f&ie=UTF8&t=m&ll=13.790926,100.542444&spn=0.002605,0.006641&z=17&output=embed

  and what appears in my post is just a link to maps. No maps at all.
  I tried deleting cache, cookies, and doing it in other browsers and i didn’t work. Anyone please help.

  Thank you.

  The blog I need help with is wisetniyoms.wordpress.com.

  Try pasting the code into the HTML tab rather than into the visual tab and see what happens. It shouldn’t matter, but I’ve had issues with pasting into the visual editor window before.

  Afraid I’m at a loss then. Look over this support document and make sure there isn’t something you are missing: http://en.support.wordpress.com/google-maps/ .

  I’ll tag this for staff attention and hopefully someone will be around to take a look at it for you.

  I have same trouble such like wisetniyoms’s case today.
  Is this due to WordPress version up?

  I have exactly the same problem too…
  I Think I do something wrong when I past the code, but I can’t understand what.
  I followed ( or I think to ) the guide step by step!

  I am having the same problem as well. I followed the guide and have tried several different things to make this work, but it isn’t working.

  I figured my problem out…I had to hit the “code” button in the HTML tab then paste the google maps code, then close it by hitting the “/code” button. When I saved the post, it worked fine.

  I would seem that Google is tinkering with things a bit.

  I’ll see what we can do.

  I have the same problem but when I go into HTML mode, the sub menu with the code icon doesn’t come up. I have a Mac Air.

  Thanks

  Hi timethief

  I managed to solve the problem by changing the code to:

  [googlemaps http://maps.google.com.sg/maps/ms?msa=0&msid=205658311195272984657.0004a323b5bb8a7689a33&hl=en&ie=UTF8&t=m&ll=1.27455,103.844719&spn=0,0&output=embed&w=562&h=356%5D

  I am having the same issue and so far none of the workarounds suggested have worked. vincentchris, after the word, googlemaps, are you just pasting the url to the map?

  Thanks!
