WP Go Maps – Google Map, OpenStreetMap, Leaflet Map

Changelog

10.1.10 – 2026-09-28

• Fixed issue where the compressed marker ID buffer could be undersized for certain marker sets, causing the server to reject the request and marker searches to return no results. Thanks to Adamcengel
• Fixed issue where the compressed marker ID list could be corrupted when a large gap existed between filtered marker. Thanks to Mikael Føyen
• Fixed issue where event dispatcher may prevent event bubbling if an error occurs within the trigger call. Thanks to Mikael Føyen
• Updated built-in notices to disclose Pro V8 EOL to prevent confusion

10.1.09 – 2026-09-01

• Fixed issue where a crafted unauthenticated request to the compressed REST API parameter parser could trigger an unbounded loop, causing excessive CPU usage and log file growth (denial of service). Security issue, thanks to Asim Alshaya

10.1.08 – 2026-08-19

• Improved point label overlay offset manipulation system to be based on percentages instead of pixel values, this is more consistent across engines
• Improved Leaflet point label overlay to match Google and OpenLayers, where center-center is the standard
• Fixed issue where point label overlay placement would not be consistent across all engines, causing some variation with pixel placement
• Fixed issue where a translation in the cs_CZ language file was incorrectly utilizing a placeholder twice, causing a fatal error in the editor

10.1.07 – 2026-08-13

• Added extended data storage support in point labels to support feature expansion
• Added a new event trigger in MarkerFilter, ‘filteringstart’, which runs before a filter is about to start a run
• Added option to hoist script loading for environments that require early script loading
• Improved OpenLayers text overlays to be DOM based instead of canvas based, allowing element styling as part of a new styling module
• Improved modal serialization to ensure data is correctly serialized where needed, specifically addressing an issue with checkbox values not being serialized correctly
• Improved clarity of the theme JSON we support for Google Maps, specifically mentioning the requirement for legacy JSON not cloud based JSON
• Fixed issue where country restriction were not applied to all address providers, and as a result would provide wide results
• Fixed issue where Atlas Major marker list in editor would not correctly pull title/address from datatables request when system was in lazyload mode
• Tested with WP 7.1

10.1.06 – 2026-07-23

• Fixed issue where inactive map data would be served on direct /maps requests even if the map was not active. Security issue, thanks to Bao – BlueRock
• Fixed issue where individual datasets like /marker, /polygon and /polyline would be served even if the map was inactive. Security issue, thanks to Bao – BlueRock

10.1.05 – 2026-07-23

• Fixed issue where inactive map data would still be visible via the /features REST endpoint. Security issue, thanks to Bao – BlueRock
• Improved JSON encoding in the REST API response layer, using wp_json_encode instead of json_encode to ensure proper handling of multibyte characters and other edge cases. Thanks to Christopher Ross
• Updated installation module to enforce a 75/25 split between Atlas Novus and Atlas Major for new installations, as part of internal split testing.

10.1.04 – 2026-07-10

• Fixed issue where unauthenticated SQL Injection was possible via the limit paramater in the Marker Filter. Security issue, thanks to Jakub Herman

10.1.03 – 2026-06-17

• Fixed issue where the internal engine assignment could be skipped on fresh installs, defaulting new installations to Atlas Major instead of the intended random assignment

10.1.02 – 2026-06-15

• Fixed issue where unauthenticated requests could trigger unintended database writes via the DataTables REST endpoint. Security issue, thanks to Thanh Diem (Wordfence)
• Fixed issue where Datatables language files may not load correctly in some environments due to name case. Fallback system developed to resolve and fail gracefully if unavailable

10.1.01 – 2026-06-10

• Added a canonical POT translation template (languages/wp-google-maps.pot) so translators and contributors can generate and maintain language files from a single source rather than reconstructing the template locally each pass
• Added a fully complete French (fr_FR) translation, refreshed against the 10.1.00 codebase including all Atlas Major UI strings.
• Added a fully complete German (de_DE) translation, refreshed against the 10.1.00 codebase including all Atlas Major UI strings.

• Improved responsiveness of the map editor at narrow viewports (Atlas Major).
• Fixed issue where Leaflet frontend maps could place markers at incorrect pixel positions when the page layout had not finished settling at map construction time. An invalidateSize() call after first paint forces the origin to be recalculated against the correct container dimensions

• Added Atlas Major, a new editor UI.
• Added live preview to the map editor, showing how the page will render with real-time updates as settings change (Atlas Major)

• Added live tileset swap, applying a tileset to the editor map immediately on selection without needing to save (Atlas Major)
• Added click-drag isolation on info-window panels, directions boxes, and inner-stack overlays so panel interactions no longer drag the map underneath (Atlas Major)

• Added 🔑 indicator next to engines in the engine switch dropdown that require an API key
• Added missing API key notice for Microsoft Azure, Stadia Maps, Maptiler, and LocationIQ. Previously only Google Maps would surface this notice
• Added auto-return to the feature list panel after a successful Add Marker or Add shape
• Fixed issue where saving the map in basic would write empty strings into Pro-only store locator visual fields, leading to invisible store locator circles after Pro was activated
• Fixed issue where info-window distance calculation read the wrong unit source, causing “miles away” labels to render kilometre values
• Fixed issue where the map list page displayed poorly on small screens due to DataTables 2 colgroup widths
• Fixed issue where the map editor REST autosave returned a 500 error under Pro because an admin-only file include was not available in the REST request context
• Fixed issue where the Plugin class __isset method was missing magic-getter cases, causing several live preview Pro template injections to silently fail (Atlas Major)
• Fixed issue where the custom image overlay live preview could corrupt the map start coordinates because the Leaflet CRS is locked at map construction (Atlas Major)
• Fixed issue where unchecked checkboxes were treated as enabled in live preview (Atlas Major)
• Fixed issue where the action bar Save Map and Preview buttons would wrap to separate rows on narrow sidebars (Atlas Major)
• Fixed issue where the bulk markers REST endpoint would return unapproved markers to unauthenticated users. Security issue, thanks to Fraudless.tech (Ilyess Ghalem)
• Improved default map height for new maps from 400px to 600px
• Improved Save Map button feedback to pulse red with a spinner during autosave and manual saves (Atlas Major)
• Improved engine switching from the editor toolbar to reload the editor so the new engine libraries load correctly
• Improved missing API key notice to render as a centered card over the map area
• Improved store locator radius circle cleanup when components rebuild in live preview (Atlas Major)
• Improved editor diagnostics by removing verbose console output on page load and save (Atlas Major)
• Improved internationalisation by auditing UI strings and migrating hardcoded text to WPGMZA.localized_strings (Atlas Major)
• Improved cursor handling across editor panels and info-window overlays so Leaflet’s grab cursor no longer leaks into UI surfaces (Atlas Major)
