Title: Map does not appear Last modified: August 22, 2016 --- # Map does not appear * Resolved [mbmtv_jen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mbmtv_jen/) * (@mbmtv_jen) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/map-does-not-appear/) * Hello, * I am having issues with my map loading. For some reason it only loads maybe 5% of the time I view my contact page, and when it does load it has no controls. * Why might this be? I can’t figure it out. * Thanks, Jen * [http://mbmtv.ca/contact/](http://mbmtv.ca/contact/) * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-google-maps-short-code/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-google-maps-short-code/) Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total) * Moderator [Pippin Williamson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mordauk/) * (@mordauk) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/map-does-not-appear/#post-5241600) * I don’t see the map on that page. Is it supposed to be in the large black section? * Thread Starter [mbmtv_jen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mbmtv_jen/) * (@mbmtv_jen) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/map-does-not-appear/#post-5241624) * Yes, it is supposed to be where the black is! * Moderator [Pippin Williamson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mordauk/) * (@mordauk) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/map-does-not-appear/#post-5241706) * That’s probably not going to work because Google Maps gets really finnicky when things are loaded via JS or after the initial page load. * Sorry but you won’t be able to put it there. * [Aonz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bugaonz/) * (@bugaonz) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/map-does-not-appear/#post-5241809) * Hi Pippin, * I’m facing this issue also. The map goes black screen on this page. [http://sonicvision.de/contact/](http://sonicvision.de/contact/) * It’s WP4.0. * Any ideas? * Thanks * Moderator [Pippin Williamson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mordauk/) * (@mordauk) * [11 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/map-does-not-appear/#post-5241811) * It looks like that area is loaded via jQuery or has some special effects on it. Googles Maps doesn’t work well when loaded that way; it needs to be loaded by default at the start of the page load. * [Aonz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bugaonz/) * (@bugaonz) * [11 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/map-does-not-appear/#post-5241812) * Thanks a lot for your help guy but… * Can you point of specifically which Jquery scripts is not correctly enqueued ? Where do I have to correct it? * I checked via DevTool and have no idea since jquery.js is loaded within as usual. No js errors on that page also ;( * I also didn’t do anything special than echo pw_map shortcode. * Thanks again * Moderator [Pippin Williamson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mordauk/) * (@mordauk) * [11 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/map-does-not-appear/#post-5241813) * I can’t tell you for sure, it’s part of the theme. * Does it work in the standard page content? * [Aonz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bugaonz/) * (@bugaonz) * [11 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/map-does-not-appear/#post-5241816) * Just tried and it works by adding it to normal page content ;( * I’ll check it more in detail. * Thanks a lot 😉 Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total) The topic ‘Map does not appear’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/simple-google-maps-short-code/assets/icon-256x256.png?rev =1868328) * [Simple Shortcode for Google Maps](https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-google-maps-short-code/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-google-maps-short-code/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/simple-google-maps-short-code/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/simple-google-maps-short-code/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/simple-google-maps-short-code/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/simple-google-maps-short-code/reviews/) * 8 replies * 3 participants * Last reply from: [Aonz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bugaonz/) * Last activity: [11 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/map-does-not-appear/#post-5241816) * Status: resolved
