• When setting up the widget, I get the following error when saving my API key:

    The Google API Key is wrong, error message: API keys with referer restrictions cannot be used with this API.

    It is a best practice to add referer restrictions. Step 5 on the list of steps is “To prevent quota theft, secure your API key following these best practices.”

    Hi,

    Sorry, we can’t add this in the plugin, because Google disallowed this. The Google Places API works on the third-party sites only with API keys without any restrictions.

    Thanks!
