Google maps disappeared after update

[blueprint]

Hello support team,

I just updated some plugins and also the X theme. Now the google map doesn’t show up anymore. (I was alredy using an API key)
Can you help me out please?

Thanks!

Hi @blueprint,

Thanks for reaching out.

I checked and your google API is no longer valid. Please create new API and assign it to your map again.

js?v=3&key=+AIzaSyA6JOcJbhu5XuKLRTmAYUHDLNh0VU-rTxg+&ver=4.9.7:39 Google Maps API error: InvalidKeyMapError https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/error-messages#invalid-key-map-error

I also tried your API on my map and it’s not working.

Thanks!

Hi, blueprint,

I checked the case and the problem is your API Key. The Google Map Platform has a new system regarding the API key which needs you to add your billing information. Please generate the key again and try with the new key.

Thank you.

Thanks a lot. I’ll try that.
Do I have to update the API key with every update? Or why does the key not work anymore?

Hi @blueprint,

It’s not update related, your key just became invalid, maybe something was changed in your APIs setting or it’s deleted.

Thanks!
