    Greetings to all you good people.

    At some point in the last 6 months (probably as the reuslt of an update) the Flexible Map plugin is now causing some sort of conflict in the cMap template.

    If I click on “Show Map” the page jumps to the top and the displayed map has no pin to mark the location. You can see what I mean here Lesvos Business Directory.

    If I disable Flexible Map then it works normally so this is clearly the culprit.

    I have a number of maps so am keen to resolve this rather than replace Flex Map.

    OK. Problem resolved.

    It was not as time consuming as I thought.

    Did some tests then swapped to Robo Maps (V 1.0).

    No conflict with cMap Template.

    NOTE: WP Flexible Map (V 1.9.2) will stop cMAP working.

    @ Robin

    Thanks for the feedback. I’ll add this to the plugin conflicts. For background, this issue is usually caused by the Google Maps API being loaded on the page twice. cMap will load it only on its page in the footer. Mapping plugins should do the same, but some load it on every page regardless if there is a map or not. This of course causes it to be loaded on the cMap page twice which can break things. Often cMap is blamed for not working when if fact it is the non-optimal design of the map plugin.
