Dequeue Events Calendar Google Maps API

[shokideagroup]

Hey,

I am overriding the single-event template and using my own Google maps API within the template. I would like to dequeue the Events Calendar’s Google maps API, so that I do not have two on the page.

I saw this post (https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/google-maps-in-footer-on-events-page-duplicate-gmaps-script-acf-problem/) and tried to dequeue the following scripts inside my functions file, but it had no effect.

function remove_events_map_apis() {
    wp_dequeue_script( 'tribe_events_google_maps_api' );
    wp_dequeue_script( 'tribe_events_embedded_map' );
    wp_dequeue_script( 'tribe-gmaps' );
    wp_dequeue_script( 'tribe-events-pro-geoloc' );
}
add_action( 'wp_print_scripts', 'remove_events_map_apis' );

Thanks in advance for the help!

Hi. Thanks for your detailed question.

What if you add a higher priority, like 100, to your add_action line, like in the code snippet in that other thread?

And may I ask why dequeuing ours and using your own (or the one from another plugin or your theme)?

Thanks.

Hey Cliff,

Once you said something about priority it got me thinking that what I wanted to dequeue was in the footer. So I was able get it to work by replacing “wp_print_scripts” with “wp_footer”. I also only needed to dequeue two scripts, the following code is what worked for me in case anyone else needs to do the same thing.

function tribe_events_map_apis() {
    wp_dequeue_script( 'tribe_events_google_maps_api' );
    wp_dequeue_script( 'tribe_events_embedded_map' );
}
add_action( 'wp_footer', 'tribe_events_map_apis' );

I needed to dequeue your Google Maps API and use my own, because I needed to add “&callback=initMap” to the end of src.

Thanks for your help!

Thanks for sharing.

What about just filtering the URL that gets used by our plugin. Maybe something along the lines of https://gist.github.com/cliffordp/9d6c25feb389f98e8ae09a41273a3488 or even using add_query_arg()
