Usage of the Google Maps APIs now requires a key.

Temporary fix:

1. Get a key here: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/get-api-key#get-an-api-key

2. Around line 102 in: plugins/simple-google-map-short-code/simple-google-map-short-code.php

add: &key=Your_API_Key

at the end of: '//maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false

Give it a few minutes, new keys may take a moment to activate.

thanks a lot dude !

Hmm, everything still works properly for me without an API key.

Do you receive an error message of some kind?

That got me too. My development site was fine but once I migrated to production and it was the first time that domain used the Maps API it gave an error instead of the map: “Oops! Something went wrong”

It only affects domains not active before June 22, 2016.

Basically, if you weren’t already using the Maps API on your domain before June 22nd, 2016, you need to get an API key to get rid of the error.

Here’s the post that pointed me in the right direction: https://www.latecnosfera.com/2016/06/google-maps-api-error-missing-keymap-error-solved.html

Thanks for looking into this!

Looks like the error happens only for new websites. If you already had a map running on website it will continue to work.

yes only with new website, i do the jordon fixe with my api key and it work very will (local & prod) (sorry for my english)

Yes, Google require API key for all new domains. Pippin please update your plugin to have an API key field, where we can add our own key.

Thank you very much!

It’s on my list for next week.

Thank you very much again!

Thanks!

I’ve just pushed out an update that adds support for setting an API key.

The [pw_map] shortcode now expects a key parameter, like this:

[pw_map address="New York City" key="YOUR API KEY"]

Thank you Pippin for your update!

SOLVED PLEASE IGNORE > Didn’t see plugin’s API entry prompt.

Hello,

I receive the API key error.

I specifically need the coordinates option.

Would that mean the embed would look something like this:

[map lat=”xx.xxxxx” lng=”xx.xxxxx” key”xxxxxxxxxxxx”]
Location Tooltip
[/map]

Thanks ??
