Title: google map error
Post by: xmanhattan on April 11, 2016, 10:40:57

Hello all,

While preparing the website locally google map was working but after placing the site online I receive this error message:
This page was unable to display a Google Maps element. Please contact the site administrator. If you are the administrator of this site, please check the JavaScript console or check the following page for troubleshooting:
http://g.co/mapsJSApiErrors (http://g.co/mapsJSApiErrors)

When I first call the contact page, the map is displayed but then disappears and the error message is shown.
I changed the api key from the local host to the domain name before testing it online.

On the contact page, I inserted the following

Code: [Select]

{map}37.9795923,23.7353258{/map} through the source and checked it to make sure that no other html code was inserted.

I checked to see if there was any update to the content plugin google map but did not find any.

Any ideas?

I just went back to the google api and re-entered the domain name for use as

Code: [Select]

*.domain-name.tld/* instead of using the plain domain-name.tld and updated the api key that it changed.
It now works, unbelievable!

Each map api key can be limited to a specific domain or path. asterisk is a regular expression and you must use it properly.
