Google Maps API warning: NoApiKeys

[Rupert]

Hello,

I have set up the API key for Google Maps for our site following the instructions from here:

Creating a Google Maps API Key

but we are getting an error message on the front-end:

Google Maps API warning: NoApiKeys

Example event post:
https://dentists.theimplantcentre.com/event/cpd-conference-2017/

I’m not sure where to look at this point, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,
Shaun

Good afternoon Shaun and welcome back!

Thank you for reaching out to us.

We are sorry to hear about the error message you have been getting on your website.
I would love to help you with this topic.

As a side note, there are other messages that are showing up for your site when you are looking under the Console in Google Chrome’s developer tools.

The one that concerns me the most is the one related to the forbidden call of a Javascript script because the call is performed over http and not https.
The reason for my concern is that Javascript issues tend to prevent proper functioning of any other Javascript on your site.

But back to that warning for a second, if you are not displaying maps within your events (and that seems to be the case), you can simply ignore this warning.
But in case you do want to do that (display maps in events), could you please send me a screenshot (in a private reply) of your settings under Events -> Settings -> General and Events -> Settings -> APIs ?

Best regards,

Geoff B.

Good evening Shaun,

Thank you for writing back.

To answer your question, it is possible that the fact that it’s not publicly available is not helping.
However, my main concern right now (after updating my host files) is that there are 3 Javascript errors in the console (including one related to Google Map).

At this point, I would first recommend removing the Google Maps API from our API tab (it sounds counterintuitive, but it works in a lot of cases).

If that does not work, the next step would be to go through our testing for conflicts procedure (preferably in a staging/dev environment or local install of your WordPress website) and let us know what you find out.

Basically the goal here is to revert back to a bare WordPress installation to see if the problem persists. It also allows us to pinpoint what the cause of the issue is.

But, before you do that, there are 2 things I would advise:

1. Make a backup of your database
2. Consider activating a “Maintenance Page” plugin if you are doing this on your live site (to minimize impact on your visitors)

Let me know how that goes.

Best regards,
Geoff B.

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics. If you’re still looking for help with this, please do open a new thread, reference this one and we’d be more than happy to continue the conversation over there.

Thanks so much!
