I see issue. When you open first time your widget bar – map is not ok there (it’s like on this screenshot [https://cldup.com/3-UpCZcEmx.png](https://cldup.com/3-UpCZcEmx.png)), but try to re-size screen – and you will see that map loaded fine (it will be like on this screenshot [https://cldup.com/aGLyVdXiPS.png](https://cldup.com/aGLyVdXiPS.png)). This is common issue, and now I try to explain. When your page load – this widget area is hidden, so google map do not know – what exactly is size of element where it need to be inserted. After you will re-size window for example – map will be auto refreshed (this is google maps feature) – and therefore it will be re- rendered fine. What you need to do – is to insert in your JavaScript code after code that open your widget bar – code that will auto re-render your map. I see that you are using not our plugin for now, so unfortunately – I can’t tell you what it need to be there. But if you will use our plugin – this should be: `gmpGetMapById( ID).refresh();` Where ID – is ID of your map in your widget area. * Thread Starter [globrod](https://wordpress.org/support/users/globrod/) * (@globrod) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-map-widget-2/#post-6354117) * can you give me step by step what i have to do and where please ? * im beginner 🙂 * thanks * Rod * Thread Starter [globrod](https://wordpress.org/support/users/globrod/) * (@globrod) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-map-widget-2/#post-6354118) * i added your plug in * [mjassen (mjjojo)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mjjojo/) * (@mjjojo) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-map-widget-2/#post-6354123) * [@globrod](https://wordpress.org/support/users/globrod/) * Maybe, write back to the theme developer, and ask what’s the chance that they can add the Javascript code, as suggested by [@supsystic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/supsystic/)? * Let me know how you go with this?! * Thread Starter [globrod](https://wordpress.org/support/users/globrod/) * (@globrod) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-map-widget-2/#post-6354141) * [@supsystic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/supsystic/) any news????
