WP Google Map Pro Plugin Jquery

Posted in: Newspaper

Hi

The plugin WP Google Map Pro creates maps from the Google API. I have installed it and created a map, then placed the shortcode for it in a test post. The post will not render the map.

In WP Google Map Pro’s troubleshooting, they ask if JQuery is working. They instruct for this line to be inserted in Header.php:
<? php wp_enqueue_script(“jquery”); ?>

Find Troubleshooting here: http://www.wpgmaps.com/documentation/troubleshooting/my-map-is-not-showing-on-my-website/#jqueryinstall

They instruct:

o Log into the admin section of your WordPress site.
o Locate the Appearance link in the left navigation panel and click on “Editor”
o Locate the “header.php” file in the list on the right side of the page and click on it
o Find the line “wp_head();” and just above it,
o paste the following line of code:
<? php wp_enqueue_script(“jquery”); ?>

This completely screws up the website. Can you offer some ideas? I get this page error (on my map test post) in a chrome browser: Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)

—Thanks!!

Hello WebGuyFL,

Unfortunately, this type of plugin was not tested with our theme, and we have no idea about the theme behavior with this type of plugin, sorry! Notice that we cannot provide implementation and support for untested plugins, sorry! For adjusting a new plugin to work as properly with our theme is needed to make some additional customizations through the code to bring best results, sorry!

Thanks for your understanding!

Does your theme allow/provide for any jQuery? Has your team ever encountered jQuery? Could I please get some technical detail other than “we don’t do that”?

I realized it is not supported. Can I get 5 minutes of thought?

Could someone think about this for a few seconds instead of just reading me a rule book?

There are 300,000 installations of that Plugin. It is the number one Google Map plugin in the world. Newspapers do publish maps, do they not?

Regards

I got it working. I had an install glitch. Reinstalled, and works. One test case complete.
