# Issues with https and google maps

* On certain browsers there is an issue with the plugin showing google maps. If
the main wordpress site is using ssl (https), the google map will not load. Google
Chrome and possibly other browsers as well don’t like the mix of encrypted and
unencrypted content. As a hack I just changed every reference to [http://maps.google.com](http://maps.google.com)
to [https://maps.google.com](https://maps.google.com). So all content was encrypted.
I don’t know if this is the best fix, but that was the only way I could find
to restor functionality. I recommend that you guys either change the plugin to
always load the https version of google maps, or detect the type of connection(
http or https) and select the appropriate version to load. I’m up and running
now, but I dislike running a hacked version of the plugin because it makes me
worry that updates will break the page.
* Thanks for a great plugin!

* Hey mdd061000: I realize it’s taken us some time to get you a reply here, and
I apologize for that. I was wondering if you could confirm whether this still
occurs for you after updating to the 3.0.2 codebase? Let me know if you’re still
having issues here. Thanks in advance!

* Yes, the issue is still present in 3.0.2. I’m pretty sure the offending script
is
``
* It references the script by http, which most secure browsers will be unhappy
with on https pages.

* You should probably use a protocol relative URL. I think calling
``
Will fix the problem.

* Okay, I changed line 11 in admin-views/event-map.php to read
``
* And that solves the problem.

* This is definitely an issue an i am going to apply this fix for the next release.
Thanks so much for bringing it to our attention mdd061000!

* I’m having the exact same problem: Google Map not displaying because of a non-
secure HTTP API link.
* Same error message in FireFox, too: “[http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false”](http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false”);
* I’m running The Events Calendar, v 3.1.
* I did exactly as mdd061000 recommended and that solved the problem. BUT it sucks
that I had to edit a core file. It’s totally gonna get wiped out with the next
update.
* Is there a Child Theme method similar to “Events 3.0 Themer’s Guide” ([http://tri.be/support/documentation/events-calendar-themers-guide/](http://tri.be/support/documentation/events-calendar-themers-guide/))
for editing the-events-calendar/admin-views/event-map.php?
