Is there a way to disable the Google Maps API call? I don’t use the google maps shortcode function and it just adds additional requests.

Thanks!

Hi there,

Thanks for writing in.

Google maps resource will not load if you’re not using it. It could be from other sources, would you mind providing your site’s URL that has this issue?

Thanks!

I’m not using google maps anywhere on the site.The site does use Slider revolution (homepage only) and Google Tag Manager/Google Analytics. Not sure if GA uses the maps API.

Hi there,

Thanks for updating You can add the following code to your Child Theme‘s functions.php :

add_action( 'wp_print_scripts', 'de_script_maps', 99999 );

function de_script_maps() {
	wp_deregister_script( 'vendor-google-maps', 'https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js' );
	wp_dequeue_script( 'vendor-google-maps' );
}

Hope this helps.

Cheers!

I found the culprit. It was Ubermenu’s option to load the Google Maps API. it is found in the UberMenu settings under General Settings>Assets>Load Goggle Maps API.

There were others seeing Google Maps API key errors in the console and someone mentioned the option in UberMenu here:

I couldn’t see what was calling it and forgot UberMenu supports maps in the menu since I don’t use it. I’ll leave this here for others who might be searching the support threads.

Cheers!
