How to disable google map service?

[martinliu]

Hi Support,

Since I run my site in China, Google services are all blocked.

So the event page will not use Google map to show event venue.

How do I disable google map function? So I wont’s to display any google map on any page.

If I can do so, another question is if I can put on a static map picture to replace google map?

Thanks,
Martin

http://www.devopscoach.org/events/list/ in this page. It has a call to maps.googleapis.com will timeout. it took too long. Even I have disabled Google map feature.

Hi Martin,

Thanks so much for reaching out!

In order to disable Google Maps, you can go to Events Settings < General and scroll down to Map Settings.  You can uncheck the Enable Google Maps box and Save Changes from there.

As far as adding a static map goes, you can potentially edit the template where you want the map to appear, for example the single-event.php template, using our Themer’s Guide.

Let me know how it goes and if you have any other questions!

 

Thanks,

Jaime

Hi Jaime,

After I unchecked the Enable Google Maps.

I still can see a request in event page, it call to https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=AIzaSyCOPhtnKQ4aC3K3fbVH7MnY6GV04X3WgVs&ver=4.9.1 .

You can use firefox to trace that behavior by yourself.

I hope we can fix that, it might be a bug. that request to google maps should not exist after I unchecked that option.

Thanks,
Martin
