Hi Kriesi & Co,
I followed the advice on this thread: https://kriesi.at/support/topic/google-maps-api-multiple-times-on-the-page/
Unfortunately the filter provided for a child theme doesn’t work at all; Is there any other way to remove the Google Maps API call?
For reference, the filter provided is:add_filter('avia-google-maps-api', '__return_false', 10, 2);
Kind Regards,

Can you please post a link to the page which loads the google api multiple times? I need to check which plugins and theme components load the api to answer the question if the filter will work for you.
Best regards,

Thanks for getting back to me. The plugin that loads the additional maps API is a custom written one that integrates with another 3rd party plugin. Suffice to say, I managed to deactivate that of Enfold by using the following code:
/* * Remove Google Maps API Call if used in Enfold theme and Auto Location is active */ function disable_google_map_api($load_google_map_api) { $load_google_map_api = false; return $load_google_map_api; } $plugins = get_option('active_plugins'); $required_plugin = 'auto-location-pro/auto-location.php'; if ( in_array( $required_plugin , $plugins ) ) { add_filter('avf_load_google_map_api', 'disable_google_map_api', 10, 1); }

great, glad you found a solution :)Cheers!
PeterAugust 5, 2015 at 10:41 am #483197i had that problem too. i use enfold theme with a child theme so i can have changes on some template files.
i then use ACF to load a google maps field in post-edit. But for some reason the map did not appear as long as i use enfold theme. there is no JS error in console. but i found out, that you just need a very simple filter to make it work:
add_filter( 'avf_load_google_map_api', '__return_false' );
put that in your child theme functions.php and google maps will work.August 5, 2015 at 11:18 am #483212 -
