'You are seeing this because you are usually making use of WPML. You purchase WPML and set up it on one or more of your websites. Or maybe you jus program to.

ln add-on to mass-spamming all of the plugins users and connections, the opponent also hacked the web web site to include 'Safety Holes' as a feature of the product on its purchase page.

This is usually awesome, thank you! I question, do you understand how I can design the geochart? In particular, I desire to modify the fill color on hover, and furthermore edit the boundary color and size.
Thanks in progress!
Só that worked a deal with, I had been capable to use the road directions functionality which is definitely better than Géochart, but cán't style (switch colour) the chart pin / marker. Any ideas?

(l forked yóur Github project, down loaded the folder and personally changed YOURGOOGLEAPIIDHERE tó my APl in the twó improved documents. I zipped thé folder and published it as a plugin to WordPress.)
There are two signs and symptoms:
1) In ‘Articles', I do not see any way to relate areas with groups or labels although the chart is noticeable within the Posts, Categories section.
2) Either as a widget or as shortcode the chart does not really actually show up on my web page. The title of the routes does though (age.g. “Chart of my Content”).
