No reviews in output

Hi there,

In order to have reviews served over the Google Places API you have to have a verified business via “Google My Business”. Google makes all of this pretty complicated, but that’s why we try to keep our documentation as updated as possible.

Please review this article in detail and let me know if you have further questions:

Thanks!

I’m having s similar problem. I’ve had the plug-in for about a year. I noticed recently my reviews were no longer populating on my site. My site had this message: READ OUR REVIEWS
Sorry, this business does not have a proper Place ID set. Write a review
There are no reviews yet for this business. Be the first to review

I saw the plug-in had an update so I downloaded that and it’s still now working. The “location lookup” is not finding my business. I have a verified Google+ page: https://plus.google.com/+Kaycakedesigns I have reviews. The plugin used to work. In Google maps when I type in my business name it auto populates: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Kay+Cake+Designs/@48.748353,-123.0323794,9z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x5485bb181df44fa5:0x604ce0789d883fcb

I’ve followed the instructions on this link: https://wordimpress.com/documentation/google-places-reviews/trouble-finding-your-google-places-id/

However I get these results:
{
“error_message” : “The provided API key is invalid.”,
“html_attributions” : [],
“results” : [],
“status” : “REQUEST_DENIED”
}

I’ve gotten my API key from my Google Developers Console

I don’t know what is going wrong.

Thanks

Hi @kaycake

Google made A LOT of changes to their API. We updated our docs to help with that transition. Please review this in detail and let me know if you have any further questions:
