Thanks for sharing!

you need to add an "s" to the http address of line 54 of header.php

Awesome! Thanks for following up!

I've fixed it! Using this in function in the child theme (XXX is your API key).

function gmaps_workaround(){
?>
<!--Google Maps JavaScript API -->
<script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=XXX"
 type="text/javascript"></script>
<?php
}
add_action('wp_footer', 'gmaps_workaround');

Hi,

Yes, the problem is in the child theme. With the parent theme works fine. How should I setup the child theme?

Thanks for your help.

Hi there,

I don't see the API Key in your source file. I'm not sure if this is due to how you have your child theme setup.

Can you double-check if this issue persists by using the parent theme only? This will help me troubleshoot the issue with you.

Best,

Christopher

Hi Christopher,

All these API that you mention are turned on and I have a credit card connected to my account. If I open the console in my browser I get some warnings.

The first one says there is no API key, but this is not true as I have entered it in the maps settings of the theme.

The second one says Retired Version:

And the third one Sensor Not Required:

Hi there,

Google has been making lots of changes to the new API. With the latest system they have in place, be sure that you specify which features of Google maps you want active for the API that you register.

Google now requires that your "turn on" different features of the mapping API. From the API credentials page, be sure you have the following active for Google Maps to work...

Maps Embed API
Street View Static API
Directions API
Maps Static API
Maps JavaScript API
Places API

Also, if you haven't already, you need to connect a credit card to your account. This is a requirement from Google in case you exceed the free access limits they provide (vast majority of users never reach the free limits).

Hope that helps!

Best,

Christopher

Hi there,

Keep in mind that Google gives a $200 credit each month, which they claim "will keep this service free for the vast majority of our users".

Regarding your issue, can you provide a link to your site? I'll check it out.

Best,

Christopher

This is not free anymore, Google is requesting billing information!

Google now requires that all map applications provide an API Key.

Visit this page to get an API Key

You can then enter the API Key on the Customize page under "Map Settings".
