    I mistaken added this question to a previous post instead of creating a new thread for the question. Started this one to correct that error and help people find the solution if they have the same issue.

    I haven’t had the time to look into this further yet but I added a venue map to single-event.php.
    echo do_shortcode(‘[eo_venue_map height=”300px”]’);
    I am getting this error.
    The Google Maps API server rejected your request. The ‘sensor’ parameter specified in the request must be set to either ‘true’ of ‘false’.

    Setphen’s reply (in the other thread):

    R.e. the venue map error, you probably have some sort of security plug-in installed which is stripping off any query variables from script urls. The (incorrect, in my opinion) idea is that disguising the WordPress version improves security. Unfortunately Google requires the ‘sensor’ query variable to present and set to true or false.

    I had added code to strip off the query variables not so much as to disguise the WordPress version but at the suggestion of Pingdom tools site analysis – performance grade: “Remove query strings from static resources”.

    I have added exceptions for googleapis on other sites but forgot to do it on this one. The exception is added and everything works now.

    Thanks Stephen!
