Basic Google Maps Placemarks geocode error: Request Denied.

Hi,

I’m trying to set up a new WordPress site with this plugin – I have started with a completely new set up – using the default theme and have no other plugins activated, but when I put in the Google API key or try to create a new placemark, I’m getting the following error:

“Basic Google Maps Placemarks geocode error: Request Denied.”

The map shows as a grey space as well where I have inserted the basic shortcode.

I can see this error has come up a lot in these forums without being answered, and I understand that this plugin hasn’t been updated in quite a while, but I’d love any help to get this working! Failing that, I would love any recommendations of similar plugins.

Thanks!
