I have a working API that works as expected for CPT Listing. However, for Events, Google maps will not load. Unable to enter an address and have it autocomplete. Any advice please.

The API is working correctly for the other CPTs. Just not for Events. Requests are being served from Google MAPS platform when using the other CPTs.

Please advise.

Both the frontend and backend add forms for events work fine for me.
It would seem you do need to add the GeoCoding service to your maps api project.

Let us know how it goes

It does seem to be an encoding problem. The map from home page pulls up an existing listing ok.
But to add a new one, address won’t autopopulate and will not geolocate. Error Message “This page can’t load google maps correctly”. I added the GeoLocation API on Google console. No change. Now seems to be affecting all CPTs.

I get this seems to be an API issue with google maps, but looking for any help or advice on this.
Google Console has billing account enabled.
MAP API Installed.
Geocoding API installed.
Domain is verified.

Any other ideas????

You need to add the Geocoding API, not the Geolocation API

Sorry,

It was the GeoCoding API that was added.

See google console results below:

It looks like you fixed it.
It can take 5 minutes or 6 hours for Google to put services in place, perhaps it was just delay on their part.

Actually, both front end and back end still will not GeoCode in the address field.
Displays an existing listing fine, but unable to update an address or add a new listing with Geocoded address.

I am still getting same message. Rebooted computer, and even tried from a different PC and browser. Getting the same message. I can manually enter an address, but it is not auto completing and still displays an error message. See attached photo. This is true for events as well as other CPTs.

Did you get the address to autopopulate when you began entering address, or did you manually add address, city, state, zip, etc?

Thank you. I see how you are doing it, but you should be able to start entering an address in the address field, it should autopopulate, then click on the correct address from the drop down. However, instead, there is an error message. When customers go to enter an address they will see this error message.

Please advise.
