Address suggestions from Google need the Places API enabled on your Google Maps API key. If you type an address and no suggestions appear, while the map itself loads fine, a missing or blocked Places API is the most likely cause.

GeoDirectory uses Google’s autocomplete for the “from” address in directions, and the Location Manager add-on uses it for the street field on the add listing form and for location search suggestions.

Fix it

1. Open the Google Cloud Console and select the project your key belongs to.
2. Go to APIs & Services > Library, search for Places API and enable it.
3. Open the key under APIs & Services > Credentials. If it has API restrictions, add Places API to the allowed list. If it has website restrictions, check your site’s domain is listed.
4. Clear any page cache and try again.

You can also click Generate Key at GeoDirectory > Settings > General. It opens Google with every API GeoDirectory uses already selected, including Places, Geocoding and Maps Static, then paste the new key into Google Maps API KEY.

Still no suggestions?

• Press F12 and check the browser Console. Google prints the reason, for example an API that is not activated or a key that is not authorized for your domain.
• Check Maps API at GeoDirectory > Settings > General (under Show Advanced). Google suggestions only work when Google Maps is the map loaded. With OpenStreetMap the suggestions come from OpenStreetMap instead.
• Look for JavaScript errors from other plugins, which can stop our scripts before autocomplete starts.
