There is “wp_head()” in “header.php”, but “wp_footer()” was not in “footer.php” – so I added <?php wp_footer(); ?>
just before the </body>
tag. No effect (didn’t break the site though, so I left it in).
I searched the entire site for the string “google-maps” and the only file that contained it was “class.FlxMapPlugin.php” – so it seems clear that the template is just not loading a critical, yet standard piece of WordPress core code. Very disappointing for a premium theme.
If you can think of anything else I should look for in the template files, that would be extremely appreciated. I’ll attempt to get answers from RocketTheme to see what they say. I know that in cases where a 3rd party template is clearly the culprit, any help by the developer is above and beyond standard support procedures, so I’m extremely grateful for your assistance.
