 * I am using the google-maps-for-WordPress plugin with limited success. The map
   will not show up if the Lightbox 2 plugin is activated. I have tried editing 
   the Lightbox 2 plugin with the following at the top of the lightbox2.php file
   in the Lightbox 2 plugin:
 *     ```
       if(is_page('14')){// directions page
   
       }
       else{
   
       /* Where our theme reside: */
       $lightbox_2_theme_path = (dirname(__FILE__)."/Themes");
       ```
   
 * With the closing bracket for the else statement at the bottom of the file, but
   that did not work. Any help would be appreciated.
 * Also, the Bubble for the map pin is too small for the information inside.

 * Google-maps-for-wordpress also seems to interfere with Google Analytics.

 * webwisedesign: As for lightbox, I don’t use it but maybe it’s still loading some
   sort of JavaScript that is interfering with the Google Maps JavaScript?
 * As for the bubble, Google sets the size based on the content. However, certain
   CSS styles on the elements in the bubble will make them bigger than Google expects.
   Consider removing styles from that content, or at least eliminating margins and
   padding, and try again. If it solves the problem, add the styles back until you
   find the one that’s causing the problem.
 * I actually have two plugins that I wrote, one for Google Maps, and one for Google
   Analytics. I use them both on a few sites, and they work fine in conjunction 
   with one another. If you are having problems, could you specify what exactly 
   is happening?

   or T_VAR or ‘}’ in /home/****/public_html/art/wp-content/plugins/google-maps-

 * That’s what I got when I tried to install it 🙁
