Hello,

I’m trying to use the Google Maps or Map Embed block on Cornerstone on my theme and the map does not generate. I keep getting an error.

Here is a link to the website, if you scroll down, you’ll see the error and where the map is suppose to be:
http://www.1621bayshore.com

Let me know what I can do to fix this.

Thank you

Here is a screenshot of what I receive when I use the Google Maps block. First image: within Cornerstone, second image: while viewing the page.

Hi there,

Thanks for writing in! The Google Maps APIs require an API key for new domains as of June 22nd, 2016. See announcement here (http://googlegeodevelopers.blogspot.com.au/2016/06/building-for-scale-updates-to-google.html)

Please refer to the following instructions (https://community.theme.co/forums/topic/map-error/#post-1059000).

Thanks for understanding.

Hi there,

Please check this link to get your API key.

Once you got the API key, you can login to your FTP and go to wp-content/themes/x-child then open the functions.php file then add this code:

function my_add_frontend_scripts() {
  wp_register_script( 'vendor-google-maps', 'https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=YOUR_API_KEY');
  wp_enqueue_script( 'vendor-google-maps' );
}
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_add_frontend_scripts', 100);

Hope this helps.

Thanks but is there any other way to get around this issue because I’ve never used the FTP before and I’m not too comfortable to use it? haha

Thank you, I appreciate the help.

Hi David,

It is unecessary to add any code to functions php to use Cornerstone Google Map Element if that was the question,

You just need to setup your API Correctly, it will work also with markers.

Please see this 2 minutes video.

Hope it helps, If I did not clarify your issue, please let us know.

Joao
