    I am having problems setting up my geo-directory. This is the message that I see when I try to set the default location:

    Oops! Something went wrong.
    This page didn’t load Google Maps correctly. See the JavaScript console for technical details.

    Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

    Thank you

    HTTPS is not required, but is recommended because not everything will work optimally.
    See also https://wpgeodirectory.com/adding-a-ssl-certificate-to-your-website/

    The error you have is most likely due to not having activated the correct APIs.
    If you post your URL (and WP admin details) we can give more details [you can use the private reply option].
    See towards the end of this page: https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/add-google-api-key/

    Thanks

    To get things started you can change the Maps API to load Open Street Map.

    Then, once you have setup your Google billing account you can try again with Google.

    This is the error:
    Google Maps JavaScript API error: RefererNotAllowedMapError
    https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/error-messages#referer-not-allowed-map-error

    Please review this again, see point 11 on the page:
    https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/add-google-api-key/

    Thanks

    You restrict the key to your website, or you don’t restrict it at all.
    Changing keys or going secure will not help when the key is not authorized correctly for your site, unless you turn off all restrictions for the key.

    Thanks
