Hi guys, Google maps on my contact page doesn’t show. My host WP Engine thinks it’s a cache issue and is asking if you could please tell me what cookies would need to be excluded from a cache for it to work. The attached screenshot shows the error.

I have deleted the map and re-added but it didn’t work.
Many thanks for your help!

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 Darshana, I’m sorry, I don’t understand the thread. I have created an API in Google. Please can I PM that to you along with my log in details for you to take a look?

Hi, sorry, please ignore me, I got it working. I have generated the API via this link: https://console.developers.google.com/apis/credentials/key?project=global-catcher-136323&type=CLIENT_SIDE

I have then added the code below to my child theme’s PHP file.

function my_add_frontend_scripts() {
wp_register_script( ‘vendor-google-maps’, ‘ADD YOUR API HERE’);
wp_enqueue_script( ‘vendor-google-maps’ );
}
add_action(‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘my_add_frontend_scripts’, 100);

It works! And I can see the map!
thank you

Hi There,

You don’t need to follow the whole thread, you just need that specific post from Rue Nel

https://community.theme.co/forums/topic/map-error/#post-1059000

If you already have your Google Map API key, please add the following code in your child theme’s functions.php file

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);

Replace the string YOUR_API_KEY with your actual API key.

If the issue remain after doing this, please provide us login credentials (FTP & WP-admin) in private reply.

Thanks.
