   I'm new to WordPress...

   I'm using WordPress as a CMS for a church website and would like to use a few plugins to display a Google Map and Photo Gallery.

   I've installed the plug-ins correctly and they display when the pages have no template assigned to them.

   I've also created and applied the templates correctly- they work and display all the content as they should.

   However, as soon as I assign the custom template to a page where I have assigned a plug-in, the plug-in disappears.

   What am I doing wrong?!

   Confirm that your templates have wp_head() before its </head>.

   Hope it helps,

   Wow, Pedro- such an easy fix! Thank you so much I don't know how I overlooked it through all of my searching to solve this issue.

   Can you explain why that code is needed? Or point me in the direction of some additional resources?

   Thank you so much!

   most plugins use either wp_head or wp_footer to output things they need to function
