These are the scripts related to google maps that are getting inserted into my header. There is no sign of the original script to be seen. Is that normal?

I can see the map being inserted, however it is entirely grey with a strange “glitch” in the top left corner.

That’s it! That got the widget to appear. The last problem i cannot seem to solve is to correctly render the google map. I get two errors in the console that are kind of unknown to me, so i do not know how to solve it.

It is either that, or i have to rerender the api after the page is loaded (as this seems to be a issue that is known to google).

The hyperlink isn’t freed up until you empty the trashed blog posts. Go to Posts, trash the post you want to remove, then click the category Trash, and permanently remove the removed post.

the better WP security plugin is a good place to start out a more secure website. It will give you a few pointers of well exploited cases on your website. Also, hiding your login area is crucial to block automated brute-force attacks. WP comes with a ip blacklist function, but this allone will not protect you against brute-force attacks, so hiding your backend is reccomended.

Also make sure the change of CSS isn’t caused by a plugin. Disable all plugins, and check if the problem still presists.

Also, the thumbnails seem to show themselves in 251×176, which is a quite weird aspect ratio.

It looks fine to me? What is the exact page where this happens, and what is the resolution of your screen? It might affect how the images are shown.

Nope, still broken. It still gets dumped in the body. I am pretty confused right now…

These are the errors i am getting:

Notice: Undefined property: google_maps_api::$option_name in ***/wordpress/wp-includes/widgets.php on line 291

Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #2 is not an array in ***/wordpress/wp-includes/widgets.php on line 788

As this is not referring to my own code, i have no idea where this is coming from.

Dont’t worry, there is always a solution. I also forgot about blacklisting, which could very well be what is going on here. Try connecting from a different network. (i.e. your phone)

It seems to me that your hosting provider should be able to offer you a solution. Or do you happen to have SSH access?

I got everything back in the header again. It seems i messed up the script by trying to add the google maps JavaScript as an internal file. The file is secured in a way that it can only be loaded from google’s own API page.

Because of this error, wordpress behaved as if the head element was done, and put everything else in the body tag. I hope this is usefull to people. I still think this reaction is a bit weird from wordpress. A bug maybe?

Well while this did fix one of the errors i was having, this did not solve the dumping of the head information inside the body.

Wait no.. It seems that this placed almost all of my <head> content in the <body>. Not sure if this is fixed when i solve the errors though.

*facepalm* sorry for the typo error, that happens to me way too much than it should…

This did it i think! I am getting new errors about the following lines of code, so i can continue debugging those! Many thanks!!!

Try disabling all plugins and check if it goes any faster. If so, try enabling them one by one and check every time you activated one if the speed of your site dropped. Then you found the culprit.

I do notice that the site automaticly plays media, which can be a huge factor to this problem, however i am not entirely sure.
