map error on https:// site

Hi

The Google Maps API server rejected your request. The “sensor” parameter specified in the request must be set to either “true” or “false”.

I get the above when I try and edit or add a venue and the maps don’t work. I had this problem with wp google maps related to this code:

< script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false"></script>

which had to be changed to

    < script type="text/javascript">
               var gmapsJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://" : "http://");
               document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gmapsJsHost + "maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
    </script>

do you have something similar?

Thanks

Hi,

It’s not the https:// it’s a conflict with a theme – http://shoestrap.org

Any ideas where I might look to resolve the issue?

Awesome, glad you got that sorted 😀

For those with a similar issues the theme was stripping query variables from the script’s source urls. Typically this is done to remove version numbers, but most plug-ins (and in this case theme) that attempt this tend to remove all query variables. Google maps requires a query variable indicating whether you want to know the user’s location ( the sensor query variable).
