Does the map name include any weird letters, does it have a long name? Try renaming it. What format is the map? .w3m, .w3x?

Hmmm
If you showed pictures and also dropped problem maps, etc. you would solve problems much faster.
Through Pastebin it is much more convenient

You can also attach the problematic map to your post.
And by the way, you have not answered Duckfarter's question.
Version incompatibility can also cause this to happen (not showing up on the in-game list).
Have you tried to run the map from world editor? Since you seem to be able to open it from world editor.
Press CTRL+F9 to run/test the map.

The most common reason for a map not showing up is simply that the full map path exceeds the limit WC3 can handle. Even if the file itself has a short name the path to get to the file is important. For example:
c:/Users/YourUserName/Documents/Old/WC3 Install Folder/Maps/Backup/Maps/Downloads/Fun/Temple.w3x
c:/Users/YourUserName/Documents/Old/WC3 Install Folder/Maps/Backup/Maps/Downloads/Fun/Temple.w3x

This is correct, but when I heard several comments regarding this matter, it appears that the map won't show in-game if the entire map path name has more than 80 characters total (no unicode). This seems to not appear if you are using the latest version of the game, but on older versions (1.27), the problem still occurs.
