 * I’m trying to get some JavaScript to show a map, it is for a map with our business
   locations on it using the google maps API. I’m not sure how to link to the script
   AND get it to run/show.
 * [This is the guide I followed here for the map code.](https://www.taniarascia.com/google-maps-apis-for-multiple-locations/)
   
   [This is the link to my JavaScript file.](http://brabazon.us/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/script.js)
   [This is the HTML I open to show that it actually works.](http://brabazon.us/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/index.html)
   [This is the CSS file.](http://brabazon.us/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/style.css)
 * I’ve tried
    `<script> type=text/javascript" src=//brabazon.us/wp-content/uploads/
   2016/04/script.js"></script>` I don’t get any errors, nothing shows up.
 * I am trying to get it [on this page here.](http://brabazon.us/contact-us/locations/)
 * The theme I am using is the “Canvas Child Theme”
    I’m also a noob.

 * I’ve also tried this `<script> src="//brabazon.us/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/
   script.js" async=""></script>` No errors in console, nothing dislpays.
 * I’ve also noticed that after I submit that and I go back in it gets changed to`
   <script>// <![CDATA[
    src=”//brabazon.us/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/script.js”
   async=””> // ]]></script>`

 * This may help? Add it to your functions.php file or crete a plugin. They also
   have google maps plugins that may do the same thign you’re looking for.

 * [That](https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/basics/including-css-javascript/)
   looks like a guide to modify a theme, which I don’t think I want to do. I just
   want to embed this map into a page that already exists.
 * Maybe a plugin is the way to go… I had hoped this wasn’t true because I went 
   through all the effort into finding that guide and adding in all my own info 
   to the jscript. LAME
 * I’m going to try [WP Google Maps](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-google-maps/)
   and see how it goes.
