    Hi,
    I try to follow the described steps from this KB https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/add-google-api-key/
    But I can’t complete the 3rd step. Its says:”You don’t have permission to create an API key”
    What can I do about it?

    Thank you.

    Hi Tanya,

    From a quick google it seems your google account might be restricted somehow, if it won’t work you might have to try creating a new one.

    Let us know if you have any more problems

    Thanks,

    Stiofan

    Hi Stiofan,
    I have tried my other google accounts and I even created a new one, but still no luck.
    The same message, though I can go to “Credentials” and create something from that tab.
    Any suggestions?

    Thank you.

    I found this, maybe give it a try:

    When trying to setup an API key, you may receive this message. It means exactly what it says.
    You’ll need to create new credentials before an API key can be generated.

    Click on the “Credentials” link in the lefthand sidebar
    Click the “Create credentials” button
    Select the “API Key” option
    Then click the “Browser key” button from the pop-up
    Now you’ll be taken back to the create a browser key step above and can proceed.

    Yes, it worked.
    Maybe it is a good idea to add it to the KB so that if someone else stumbles upon the same problem, they know what to do.

    Thank you very much.
