# Google Maps API conflict

 * Hello!
 * I’m using the plugins bp xprofile location and ACF google map, and it creates
   a conflict with js being loaded more than once (You have included the Google 
   Maps API multiple times on this page. This may cause unexpected errors.).
 * The problem is that I can’t manage to disable one script and have only one being
   loaded.
    When adding the function to load the script for the ACF google map, 
   I tried specifying to load the script only on specific page/template where I 
   need it, it does cancel the js error but then the map doesn’t render (even though
   it is on the template specified).
 *     ```
       function custom_add_scripts() {
   
   
           wp_register_script ( 'google-map', 'https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=my_key_here',array(), '3', true);
           wp_register_script ( 'google-map-init', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/js/google-maps.js', array('google-map', 'jquery'), '0.1', true );
   
       	 if ( is_page_template('custom-page.php') ) {
       	wp_enqueue_script ( 'google-map');
       	wp_enqueue_script ( 'google-map-init');
       }
       }
   
       add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'custom_add_scripts' );
       ```
   
 * I’ve also tried modifying the plugin’s file to load the script I registered above,
   to use the same, but that didn’t work either.
    I can follow tutorials but my 
   general understanding is quite limited.
 * Would anyone know how I can stop one of the script to load and have both plugins
   use the same?
 * Thanks in advance

 * Example page?
 * Somewhat aside, have you added the new API key required for ACF Google Maps to
   work?
 * I recall having this issue before and resolving it, but can’t for the life of
   me remember the project.
 * Your code above though appears to be purposely loading both versions.
 *     ```
       wp_register_script ( 'google-map', 'https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=my_key_here',array(), '3', true);
       wp_register_script ( 'google-map-init', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/js/google-maps.js', array('google-map', 'jquery'), '0.1', true );
       ```
   
 * Try just registering and loading the first one, and replacing `my_key_here` with
   your actual Maps API key.

 * Hey Clicknathan,
 * Thanks for the suggestions.
    Yes I had replaced the `my_key_here` to the code,
   have just removed it before posting here.
 * I’d already tried what you suggested (removing one of the two versions), and 
   the map from the ACF field renders only when they are both added. If I remove
   one of the two, the map displays on the back-end but not on the front-end. I’ve
   tried to enqueue them directly, without registering them, but that didn’t work
   either.
 * I can’t show you an example page right now unfortunately

 * Anyone? I haven’t managed to find a solution.
    How would one do to use the google
   maps API in several plugins without having a conflict?
