Google Map widget not working on new/empty site

Hi SO,

I’ve just started a new test site and began by adding your Page Builder, Widgets Bundle and CSS plugins. The page builder seems to work quite well for the general layout of the page. I am unable to get the Google Maps widget to work at all though. It doesn’t display a preview or on the rendered page. I have added an API key (actually I tried a couple of different ones) with no luck.

I set up a test page for you to look at that has only 2 things on it:

SiteOrigin Editor – a little bit of text
SiteOrigin GoogleMaps – Map centre London with an API key

The text is there and I can see that the code for the map is there, but no map is being displayed.

    Hi Raabaman,

    Did you manage to resolve the issue you were having? I’m asking as I’m able to see the map without issue.

    If you’re not, could you please send me the contents of your console when viewing that page? Please refer to this guide (https://www.wickedlysmart.com/hfjsconsole/) on how to access your browser console.

    Hi Alex,

    I had tried on multiple computers, mobiles and tablets and still could not see this map. Your suggestion of looking at the console was exactly what I needed. It showed that there was one other API that needed to be enabled before the map would show up. I had to enable “Google Maps Geocoding API“. Once I enabled it the map showed up!

    Thanks for the help. This ticket can now be closed.

    Cheers…
