I have read all of your files and I can’t find a source to fix this error. Please see image below and advise. I do not have a Google API in my theme or a bugfire plugin installed. I’m unsure of the cause. Please provide me with a place to send login credentials securely.

Hi Shanna,

Thanks for your post. If you wish to use the Google Map, you need an API key and here is the section of the documentation for your reference https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/add-google-api-key/

Thanks!

Kor,

This option doesn’t work because Google is using a new platform https://cloud.google.com/maps-platform/
does this mean I have to purchase an API for your map to work?

Thanks

In order to use Google Maps API, yes, you will need an API key.

We recommend that you use the “Generate API key” button inside the Geodirectory plugin settings to create your key.

Please send over your URL and we can take a look. Include WP Admin credentials if we need to look at the settings.

You can check for Chrome console errors. If the issue is related to the API key, Google will place an error there.

You are confusing Google Analytics and Google Maps API, have another look at the links given:

Here is the error in the site console:

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

Please follow the directions here to adjust your key’s security policy: https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/add-google-api-key/

See #11

Under credentials for the key created, select HTTP referrers, and then add *.mysite.com/* in the HTTP referrers field, and then Save:
