plugin does not work

Make sure that your Google API Key has an active billing account. Use this link…

I discovered that months ago so that’s not the issue but thank you just the same.

You can use this link to see what Google is returning with your API key. Just replace the values with your values…

https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/details/json?placeid=YOUR_PLACE_ID&key=YOUR_API_KEY

Thank you very kindly for your help with this, yet I’ve moved on with a different plugin at this time.

You are very kind and diligent to address this so promptly so your customer support is great; would you like me to remove this rating or change it to a 3 star while mentioning your excellent customer support?

Thank you very much

Sure that would be great. Sorry that it didn’t work out for you.

thanks

Hi there,
I keep getting this message
https://i.postimg.cc/q7yBHST9/20190905-111723-001.jpg

I had it OK once this morning, but then the error stays
Google API Error: Wrong Key or Maps API not added. Due to recent changes by Google you must now add the Maps API to your existing API key in order to use the Location Lookup feature of the Google Places Widget.

Can you help out?

And do I really need to setup a billing account just to show reviews? ??

@yolandal, You will need to set up your own API Key. The default key runs out pretty early each day. There are instructions here…

Yes, Google now requires that a billing account be associated with the API Key. The do give you a $200 free credit each month.

Yes, that’s what I also did. But then I get the Maps API not added message.

If you watch the video on this page…

around the 1:10 mark you can see the maps api being added. Do you have it enabled for your key?
