I’m using the latest version of the Widgets Bundle with my theme and everything seems to work fine apart from the Google Maps widget. No map will appear on the web page nor will it appear in the preview window. I have entered in a correct API key, deleted and re downloaded the plugin, turned all other plugins off but nothing seems to work. Any advice?
Thanks, Guy
Hi Guy
Please, can you use your developer console to check for any JavaScript errors and then look that error up. Here is how to check the Console:
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/error-messages#errorcodes
MissingKeyMapError is a common error and could point to an API issue. Alex, here at SiteOrigin let me know that Google have recently updated their enforcement of API usage, perhaps that change impacted your map.
Let us know how it goes.
Hi,
I’m having the same problem, have the latest widgets bundle, everything is working apart Google Maps Widget.
I didn’t add API, just a location (also tried several different locations) and my map is not showing. Only a blank page
Hi Silvija
You now do need a key, this is a change Google recently implemented. Navigate to this page (https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/get-api-key#get-an-api-key) and click the blue Get a Key button. Create a project if you haven’t already set one up to work for your website. Set up the referrers, if desired.
Copy your API key and place it into your widgets API key.
