Hey Design Guy:

I was suffering with all of the ailments mentioned throughout this thread (Google Map Footer Widget, Google Map full width, Google maps on an Event plugin; nothing functioned). FYI, I have followed the model on the Google API Credentials, added an additional Google API plugin in WP, and completed the Google theme option on Enfold.

My solution was to add the following code to the functions.php file of my child theme (can’t say enough about the importance of using a child theme). You have to substitute YOUR API where indicated in the code:

function ava_googlemaps_apikey() {
$prefix = is_ssl() ? “https” : “http”;
wp_deregister_script(‘avia-google-maps-api’);
wp_register_script( ‘avia-google-maps-api’, $prefix.’://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?key=MyAPI Key’, array(‘jquery’), ‘3’, true);
wp_enqueue_script(‘avia-google-maps-api’);
}
add_action(‘init’, ‘ava_googlemaps_apikey’);

After I did this, EVERYTHING worked fine. Hope this helps!

Rgds, Ned

Hi again:

My error — I had the zoom set too high. Seems to be working now…

This was the key to get it to work:
function ava_googlemaps_apikey() {
$prefix = is_ssl() ? “https” : “http”;
wp_deregister_script(‘avia-google-maps-api’);
wp_register_script( ‘avia-google-maps-api’, $prefix.’://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?key=MyAPI Key’, array(‘jquery’), ‘3’, true);
wp_enqueue_script(‘avia-google-maps-api’);
}
add_action(‘init’, ‘ava_googlemaps_apikey’);

Thanks, Ned

Hi:

I would like to add my 2 cents.

I added a full width Google Map Media Element to this page, but it is blank. http://sunshinephoenix.com/testing

How do you even enter an address? It has “street address”, “city” and “country”, and there are no longitude/latitude settings after Fetch Coordinates is clicked. Please advise. Please note that I was able to embed an IFrame Google Map link manually, which worked.

FYI, I have a Google Map API inserted in the Theme Options, an Event Calendar plugin, and a Google API plugin.

Thanks, Ned

Hi:

Just thought I would chime in and say that I set up a new API for my client, and have their URL set as *.sunshinephoenix.com/* to see if there was a positive result.

There has been no change… :-(

Hi Rikard:

I updated to 3.7.1 tonight, and I am still getting the “Oops something went wrong” message box, Any thoughts?
