 * Hello, we have started getting this error on our map page. All plugins and WordPress
   are up to date and there is a Google API key registered. I am not sure how long
   it has been like this unfortunately, so no clues in that direction.
 * Do you have any idea what might cause this?

 * Can you provide a link to the page where this error exists so I can see the problem
   live?
 * Typically though, if you see “maps is not a function” that means the Google Maps
   JS is not being properly loaded on the page. It could be a caching plugin, or
   script concatenation plugin. Or maybe you are loading scripts in a particular
   order and the Google JS is loaded too late on the page for the map to load properly.
 * Provide me some more context and a live link and I’ll do what I can. Thanks!

 * Thank you for your response. I have placed the map on a test page to minimize
   other variables: [http://lux9.com/map-test/](http://lux9.com/map-test/)
 * For the record, I have tried with a default WP theme and it still didn’t work.
   It was working for a long time prior to this, but as I mentioned, I am not sure
   exactly when it stopped.
 * Thanks again!

 * Update: Don’t worry about this. They have decided that they are happy with a 
   vanilla Google Map. Thank you again for your attention!

 * There’s a few things I can see from that page (if you’d like to try again):
 * 1) The JS error generally speaking suggests that our scripts are not output on
   the page. Perhaps you have a caching or minifying plugin which is causing trouble.
   While troubleshooting, try deleting your cache completely and deactivating all
   caching and minification plugins.
 * 2) There is a warning for a missing Google Maps API error. Here’s docs on creating
   your Maps API key: [https://wordimpress.com/documentation/maps-builder-pro/creating-maps-api-key/](https://wordimpress.com/documentation/maps-builder-pro/creating-maps-api-key/)
 * Thanks!
