WP Google map plugin not working

Hi romanko;
I’m on holiday now, so can’t assist right away, but maybe you can have a look at the FAQ for pointers? I’ll be happy to five in upon returning from my vacation.

Kind regards,
Frank

Ok thanks Frank,
just to let you know I tried what I could: excluding one plugin js file, excluding plugin directory, excluding google.maps (don’t know if it is correct), tried different options for javascript.

The only thing that works for WP google map plugin is to force into the head. But like I said the primary menu stops working. And sometimes also the Facebook Members plugin stops working.

FYI, the page is: primumclinic.sk
(should be up late today)

Did you exclude the inline block of JS that draws the map? Try adding “google.load” (without the quotes) to the comma-seperated JS list and see what happens (you also might have to add “jsapi”, not sure about that).

frank

oh, regarding

I am using it on one site and the cache ended up using like 95% of the hosting space (around 1GB), had to purge it manually. Is there a way to fix this? Or will it be fixed in future updates?

that is explained in the FAQ ??

Ok, I excluded the “google.load” and “jsapi” and it seems to be working.

It also seems to be working when I force JS into the head, but then the menu on mobiles stops working. Do you have any suggestions for that?

I read the FAQ, and this blog post: Autoptimize’s cache size under control

It is a bit complicated for me (never messed with JS before), how do I do numbers 2. and 5. from that blog post?

Thanks very much.

excluding google.load and jsapi is enough, no need to also force JS into head.

I had a quick look, try adding “wordfence_logHuman” and “wpa2a” (without the quotes) to the comma-seperated JS-optimization exclusion list.

hope this helps,
frank

Ok thanks.

How do you know what to exclude?? Or at least where to look for the js source?? So that I wouldn’t have to ask you everytime.

well, I loaded 2 different pages, viewed the HTML source to identify the autopimized JS of both and compared that JS. both files were identical (as they should be), except for small blocks of code, one from wordfence and one from wordpress add2any ??

frank

I didn’t know I can access the js source directly from the browser ??

There’s this eating-up-space problem on my other site.

OK, I opened two different pages, I managed to compare the js sources.
And there are some differencies:

metaslider (var metaslider_24=function),
strong testimonials cycle? (strong_cycle_cb5de5059d60cb56d4ab24a653153e51),
flexslider (one of the settings of metaslider),

And now how do I know what exactly should the string be for the exclusion list?? Thanks very much.

On my server, there are 8 cache files autoptimize.js created since yesterday evening, should I compare every one of them and then exclude every difference between them?

at first sight the only truly relevant difference seems to be the strong testimonials one, exclude with “strong_cycle_” and you will probably be fine.

frank

8 files is very acceptable, I would wait some more really ??

Hi, I’m the author of Strong Testimonials. This topic came up in my notifications so I thought I should jump in.

The “strong_cycle_” script is an inline script for the slideshow. The hash identifier at the end of the name will change when the shortcode attributes change. I don’t think it’s necessary to add it to the exclusion list.

Romanko, I will test my plugin with Autoptimize. Meanwhile, if the slideshow or pagination or form validation stops working, let me know and I will figure out which script to add to the exclusion list.

Hi Chris, great to see colleague plugin-authors taking the time to chime in elsewhere! ??

the script doesn’t have to be excluded for it to work, but the hash identifier will probably change regularly, which would break AO’s cache, meaning more (and sometimes too many) files in cache, hence the proposal to exclude that string (and by extension the entire inline block) from aggregation.

frank

I see now. Thanks for clarifying.
