 * I have been reading around and seeing a lot of issues with W3 Total Cache and
   Basic Google Maps Placemarks, I did not code of create this site it was already
   created by somebody else prior to me being employed by this company.
 * I am not too familiar with WordPress but I have **some** experience but as I 
   have been stuck the past few days I figured I would resort to the forums.
 * _PLEASE HELP ME, I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IT! _

   The map: [click here](http://organiclighting.com/sales-agents/)
 * It seems like there is some type of js error after using W3 Total Cache but if
   I could get some guidance on exactly what to do because I really have no idea
   at this point even after all of the research I have done.
 * Thank you in advanced for anybody taking the time to help.

 * It looks like another plugin is causing a fatal error, which you can see if you
   scroll down to the footer:
 * > Fatal error: Unsupported operand types in wp-content/plugins/widget-wrangler/
   > common/display.php on line 335
 * What happens if you disable that plugin?
 * P.S. You should disable PHP’s `display_errors` setting because exposing log output
   on production servers will leak potentially sensitive information to hackers.

 * Thank you for the response, after disabling the “Widget Wrangler” plugin the 
   error has changed to
 * > Fatal error: Call to undefined function ww_the_widget() in /home/organ113/public_html/
   > wp-content/themes/organic_lighting/sidebar.php on line 129
 * Any ideas?
    I will look into disabling PHP’s errors. Thank you for that.

 * That doesn’t seem to have anything to do with BGMP. It sounds like the theme 
   is assuming that the plugin is active, which is kind of fragile. It’s safer to
   check if external dependencies exist before trying to use them.
 * So change,
 *     ```
       ww_the_widget()
       ```
   
 * …to
 *     ```
       if ( function_exists( 'ww_the_widget' ) ) {
           ww_the_widget();
       }
       ```
   
 * That should avoid that particular error, although there may be new ones that 
   appear.

 * Hi all,
 * WW author here. Not sure why you would run ww_the_widget in your theme directly
   at all. I don’t recommend this, nor have any plans to support it.
 * I’ll look into the unsupported operands error.
 * Thanks,
    Jonathan

 * Thank you both for your input, as I said before I didn’t create this site. This
   was already done prior to me being with the company. As a in house IT, they kind
   of just put the responsibility on me after a while and here I am trying to figure
   it out.
 * I really apprecaite your guidance, again I am not too familiar with WP.
 * I did also download and test a theme (didn’t launch it, just previewed it within
   the panel) and noticed that the google map did work…would this make my issue 
   directly related to the theme?
 * If so, I can find a theme and edit my way through – it might just take a little
   more than a simple theme swap I’m assuming.
 * ——-
 * Okay so before posting this I tried using the code you provided Ian and it worked
   like a freaking CHARM!
 * I changed it on one line, but as you said there were new ones that appeared but
   they were exactly the same thing!
 * THANK YOU SO FREAKING MUCH YOU JUST MADE MY MORNING START OFF SO GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!

 * I’m glad to hear that helped 🙂
 * Yeah, I think the problems are related to the theme and the other plugin, so 
   switching to a different theme will probably help.
