Google Maps via Shortcode not working

[ArnieX]

Hi,

I have issues with Google Maps not loading when added by shortcode, in Dev Console it says that I have loaded Maps multiple times. I have created API Key, tried, adding function.php code that I found here on forums. Didn’t work. I have tried Google provides tags, to the footer, that didn’t work too. And it still says in Dev Console, that I have no keys.

I have read here on forum, that in Cornerstone, there is some input to add api key, is there such thing for shortcodes?

Thanks.

Hello @ArnieX,

Thanks for asking.

Please try adding the API key in maps element as shown in screenshot and let us know how it goes.

Hi,

that isn’t answer to my question. X Theme offer shortcode for adding Google Maps. This image you shared is for Cornerstone, which I’m not using. But maybe it will also affect the shortcode, which I doubt but may be true. Could you please clarify?

Thanks.

Hi There,

The Google Map shortcode API attribute is api_key. The full code should looks like this:

[x_google_map api_key="thisistheapi" lat="40.7056308" lng="-73.9780035" zoom="12" zoom_control="false" drag="false" height="" hue="false" no_container="false" ][/x_google_map]

Hope this helps

@Lely thanks a lot, this works perfectly!!! You should update this information and shortcode at your shortcode database/showcase website, where is the old version, which isn’t working.
