Still getting a map error

Hi Deby,

The author of the theme is adding the maps api call the wrong way, usually i would tell you to contact the author to resolve this but i spotted a version of the theme on github, so if it has not changed then this code snipped should fix it (not tested)

// remove the current wrong maps api 
remove_action( 'woo_head', 'woo_google_maps', 10 );
// add the maps the propper way
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', '_maps_api_the_right_way' );
function _maps_api_the_right_way() {
	if ( is_page_template( 'template-contact.php' ) ) {
		wp_enqueue_script( 'google-maps', 'https://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?', array(), null, false );
	}
}

You can add a plugin called “code snippets” and add that bit of code and then check. Let us know how you get on.

Thanks,

Hi Deby,

As i said, i did not test it, i think the remove action might be fired to early, try this instead:

// add the maps the propper way
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', '_maps_api_the_right_way' );
function _maps_api_the_right_way() {
  // remove the current wrong maps api 
	remove_action( 'woo_head', 'woo_google_maps', 10 );
	if ( is_page_template( 'template-contact.php' ) ) {
		wp_enqueue_script( 'google-maps', 'https://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?', array(), null, false );
	}
}

You will still need to us the API KEY for Google Maps plugin which it does not look like you are there.

The reason it work on one of your sites and not the other is that Google has given sites that used maps before the API key requirement some time to fix it before they will break it, eventually it will break like the other one so you should fix it there too.

Thanks,
