Google Maps API tokens?

    Now that Google Maps requires an API token, how do we save the token info? I see in the code that the tokens come settings, but I don’t see any setting fields in the UI to enter this data.

    Am I missing something in the UI?
    Config file setting?
    There’s no info about this in your online documentation, and I don’t see a reference to this in this support forum.

    Thanks!!

    Hi Tony,

    Could you find “Google Maps API key” in “Plugin settings” section?

    If you can’t find it, it must be an issue. In that case, please define the symbol IP_GEO_BLOCK_DEBUG to true in your wp-config.php:

    define('IP_GEO_BLOCK_DEBUG', true);

    Thanks for reporting.

    Hi Tony,

    If the map had worked previously, then number of your requests seems to have been beyond the limit.

    In that case, try to make “Google Maps API key” text box empty. It makes not to use Google Maps API but just showing the place.

    Please have a look into the followings:

    The Google Maps API setting only displays with Debug=true.
    I added my token and the map works.
    I commented out the Debug line.

    Now that the key is no longer default, the setting continues to display. I think this is the problem. It seems to hide if the value is default and debugging is off.

    HTH

    Thanks!!!!!

    Yep, I should do that in the next release.

    I had never noticed this issue till you reported here.

    Thanks for your reporting!
