WP Google map plugin not working

Ok, I excluded the “strong_cycle_”, now it doesn’t show up as a difference in the js source. I’ll see after a few days if it impacts the size of the cache, hopefully it will. Will let you know.

Thanks Chris for jumping in. The slideshow works ok. Only if I force js into the head in autoptimize, it stops. I don’t really use that option on the site yet, but if this cache size problem will still be so prominent, I will consider it.

Just to let y’all know, after 2 weeks the size of the cache now stopped getting bigger on 1 site completely and on the other site it is growing at quite a slow pace. Thanks for the solutions.

Frank,
I am out of ideas and knowledge, could you help me?

After an update, the WP Google Map plugin stopped working again when javascript optimization was enabled.

I tried to exclude the following, but nothing seems to be working:
google.load,Map_Control,overlay_generator,GoogleMaps,maps.js

I would really appreciate any input.
Thank you very much.

Had a quick look, but as you disable JS optimization I can’t see what is going on.

What I did see, however, is that (some) of the google-maps inline code is wrapped in jQuery(document).ready(function($) {}, which meeans that jQuery needs to be loaded in order for the maps to work. Enable JS optimization and have a look at the browser (error) console, if you see something like “jQuery is not a function” then you’ll now also have to exclude jquery.js from optimization. If not, copy/ paste any error in the browser console here and we’ll see what that teaches us.

OK, turned on the js optimization.

These are the errors:

ReferenceError: jQuery is not defined
!function($,window,document,undefined){function Map_Control(e){this.options=e}fu…

TypeError: $(…).maps is not a function

Besides that the plugins:
Cookie Law Info
a3 lazyload
stopped working. Will have to figure out what to exclude.

if you see something like “jQuery is not a function” then you’ll now also have to exclude jquery.js from optimization.

Oh jeez, now the strong_cycle stopped working again… the whole website is going down… help ??

OK, I am out of options. I don’t know where else to look. I tried the cache files, html source, js plugin files.

I tried excluding:
strong_cycle_,strong_cycle, – Strong Testimonials, not working

jquery.js,

cli_show_cookiebar(p),l1hs(str), – Cookie Law Info, not working

a3_lazyload_params,a3_lazyload_extend_params – a3 lazyload, not working

now the page is pretty much not working, I don’t know, maybe I’ll have to use something else (but I don’t want to).

Can you do without optimization? Is your site really slow without it? (playing devil’s advocate)

it’s all a question of finding the correct configuration Romanko, as you did before; the info on the browser (error) console should give you great info on what is going wrong, based on which you can decide how to configure AO (by choosing “force JS in head” and/ or excluding just the right JS from optimization.

and if all seems lost, you can still try “look only in head” (combined wiht “force in head”) or you can disable JS optimization alltogether, keeping only HTML & CSS?

frank

Now I played around a bit and everything seems to be working.

BUT it didn’t help to speed up the page ??

One more error showed up:
Error: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: ..maxbutton-4
in autoptimize cache file.

what can I do about it?
Thx.

One more error showed up:
Error: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: ..maxbutton-4
in autoptimize cache file.

what can I do about it?

find out what JS (of what plugin) has maxbutton-4 in it and exclude that from optimization?
