# Shortcode conflicts with theme's shortcode

 * Hello.
 * Thank you for creating such a great plugin.
    The maps are working fine on my 
   other WP builds.
 * However, I’m using a theme on one site that has its own Google Maps code. It 
   seems to be conflicting with the Maps Builder plugin. The maps are not showing
   up when using the shortcode, and I noticed they both use the [google_maps…] code.
 * What would be the best way to fix this?
    Could we adjust the shortcode?
 * Any help would be great.
    Thanks again! — O

 * That’s a bit tricky! I would suggest removing the theme’s shortcode if you would
   like to use the plugin. It should be simple enough to find and comment out the
   file if it’s included. Look for the line with `add_shortcode`
