Cant zoom / interact with map.

Hi Colin,

I had the exact same issue, notice in this screenshot the very top JS error showing on your site,
https://cl.ly/0Q410k382m2F – that’s the problem, the google maps api is getting called twice, once by the plugin and once by your theme.

UPDATE:
The way I solved the issue was by adding the CODE SNIPPETS plugin then dequeueing the script from my theme, for your theme you’ll add this code:

/*
Dequeue the google maps api - it's already being called by the simplemaps plugin
*/
function wpdocs_dequeue_script() {
   wp_dequeue_script( 'google_map_api' ); // update this to the ID of the enqueue in your functions.php file
}
add_action( 'wp_print_scripts', 'wpdocs_dequeue_script', 100 );

Hope that helps!

That worked perfectly. Thanks for taking the time to help out!

Awesome, you’re very welcome! Don’t forget to mark the post as resolved.

Also, to the plugin developers, would it be possible to add a check to make sure the theme hasn’t already called the API? As there are a lot of themes with maps added to the contact page that call the API.

Hi,

I’m also having the same issues except my map doesn’t show up at all! I can see it’s a javascript error but can anyone help with the error?

Thanks in advance.

We’re looking into seeing how we can handle this issue. Unfortunately a lot of themes decide to call the Google Maps API on every page load.
