Enfold's Google Maps widget is crashing other Google Maps on my site

The Enfold Google Maps widget in my site’s footer stopped working a few weeks ago, giving me only the Grey Box of OOPS about which so many Forum readers have been posting. At the same time, the Google Maps in my Web 2.0 Directory plugin stopped working. I followed the Enfold directions here http://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/how-to-register-a-google-maps-api-key for a Browser Key, adding my domain name as http: // missouriartscouncil.org/*. That got the maps on my Directory pages working. Still couldn’t get anything other than OOPS in the widget on the footer.

Today I tried the footer widget again and made a weird discovery. If I load the widget, not only do I get OOPS in the footer but the Directory maps go to OOPS. Delete the widget, Directory maps work. Add the widget, Directory maps don’t work. I even got a new API key and tried that. Same results. “Correlation doesn’t imply causation but it’s a good strong hint.”

I’ve tried installing the Google Maps Widget plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/google-maps-widget but I got a message about code conflicts – I think that Enfold’s own widget is interfering.

So – moving forward –
– Any thoughts from your team on how Enfold’s widget is crashing the other Google Maps on my site?
– Any way to disable Enfold’s Google Maps widget so I can install a plugin that will do the job?
Because people have been posting about the Enfold Google Maps problem for a while now. I don’t see a fix coming soon. :-(
