I have been using the Google Map Widget for about a month. When I first started using it it worked fine. Now when I add a new post the map does not show. The preview works perfectly, but once published the proper spacing is showing up, but no map. Any suggestions? I did just update the Widget Bundle today, don’t know if that affected it or not. I tested it in both Chrome and iExplorer.
Hi Joel,
This is due to a Google update that requires API keys to be used from now on. For more information please refer to this post.
Awkwardly, we weren’t aware of this change as it literally happened on the same day we released 1.6. Basically, to resolve this issue you’re going to have to add a Google Maps API key to your SiteOrigin Google Maps widget. In the next version, which should hopefully be released very soon, we’re looking to enforce the API key requirement. :(
To create an API key please navigate to this page and click the blue “Get a Key” button and follow the prompts.
