Potential bug: Google Maps API not pulling through with DC

[RubberDuckers]

Hi there,

In the map element, when the API key is pasted in the API field, the map works fine. When it pulls through from a dynamic field (from an ACF Options page for example) it says it is invalid.

I’ve just kept it in there ‘hardcoded’ for now but thought I’d flag it!

Hi @RubberDuckers,

Thanks for reaching out.
It will be very difficult to recognize the issue without investigating through the admin dashboard. Can you please provide login credentials for your site in a secure note to examine it further, including:

– WordPress Site URL & Login URL
– Specific page where you have added this
– WordPress Admin username/password

To create a secure note, click the key icon underneath any of your posts.

NOTE: Can you please add the same Dynamic Content tag into the Text element and check if that showing the same API key.

Thanks

Thanks - I don’t need it fixed as just putting the API key in there directly works fine (and it’s not like it needs changing often). Was just raising it as a bug as it’s definitely outputting the same key when put in a text field and it should be replaceable in any environment.

Hi @RubberDuckers,

I have tried the same in my local environment but it worked perfectly fine. I assume, that it might be some space or something else which is added to the ACF meta box and that is why it is not validating.

Thanks
