Where is my google maps on my page?
Recently, a client contacted me to make a few modifications on their website. Now consider that I'm not the person who made this website. It was supposed to be easy ; add a few lines here and there, change the contact information, update the address shown on the google maps and voilà !
But unfortunately, things didn't go so well for that last part. When you go on their website, in the contact page you see this google maps and a pin on it with the address attached. I thought it's probably inserted either via a plugin or manually on the page. Turns out it's neither ! I cannot find a single trace of google maps on this website's configuration. Same on the page, there is nothing that indicates that a google maps was inserted, and I really need to change this address, but quite frankly I don't know how to.
(This might be a bit of stupid question, I'm still a student at the moment and I haven't done Wordpress in a looong while.)
I don't really know what I can share to make answering this question easier, because of the client's privacy. One thing I can do for sure though is let you know which plugins are already installed (maybe it's in one of them and I missed it ?) :
- Akismet Anti-Spam
- All in One SEO Pack
- BackWPup
- Contact Form 7
- Custom Login Page Customizer
- Event Espresso
- Event Espresso - Grid View Template
- Fancy Gallery
- Flamingo
- iframe
- iThemes Security
- MimeTypes Link Icons
- Really Simple SSL
- Slider Revolution
- TinyMCE Advanced
- WP Mail SMTP
Sorry if this is very vague, feel free to ask questions back ! Thank you for your time.
Edit : I don't know if it's really worth mentioning, but when I load the page, it gives me an error from Google saying This page can't load Google Maps correctly.
Edit : Okay, so as @Rup suggested, I've found some information when I looked into the source code for the page. Turns out I found this (some values were changed to keep the location and website private) :
input type=hidden id=skt-gmap-content value=The address /
script src=https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?v=3.expamp;sensor=false/script
script type=text/javascript
var marker;
var map;
var ele;
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
ele = ;
var contstring = jQuery('#skt-gmap-content').val();
var lines = contstring.split(/\n/g);
for(var i=0; i lines.length; i++) {
ele += lines[i];
}
});
function sktinitializemap()
{
var contentStringEle = ele;
var contentString = contentStringEle;
var image = 'blue-marker.png';
var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow({content: contentString,maxWidth: 300}); // info-window text
var myLatLng = new google.maps.LatLng('this','that'); // address in the form of latitude/lognitude
var mapOptions = {
zoom: 17,
scrollwheel: false,
center: myLatLng,
mapTypeControl: true,
panControl: true,
mapTypeControlOptions: {
style: google.maps.MapTypeControlStyle.DROPDOWN_MENU
},
zoomControl: true,
zoomControlOptions: {
style: google.maps.ZoomControlStyle.LARGE
},
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP }
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'),mapOptions);
// add google map marker
marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: myLatLng,
map: map,
icon: image,
title:The address,
animation: google.maps.Animation.BOUNCE });
// open info-window at marker click event
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function() {
infowindow.open(map,marker);
});
// check info-window status
infowindow.open(map,marker);
skt_moveMap(skt_moveMap, 10);
}
function skt_moveMap() {
map.panBy(0, -100);
}
// initialize the map at window load event
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', sktinitializemap);
/script
Now I don't know if this code was implemented manually or if a plugin did it, cause I really can't find more info than this. By the look of the variables' names and comments, I'd say it was done by hand but I wouldn't know where the file is located. I'm gonna try and dig around the files to find it.
