Okay Guys,
This issue is not unique to “The Events Calendar” plugin, other Google Maps plugins have similar issues. There is a ton of threads out there.
Google Map APIs come in many versions as you well know. The two versions in play here are “Static Map API” and the other is a “Maps JavaScript API.”
I just created a new project using the “Maps JavaScript API” link from the DEV library. I first generated the new “JavaScript” API key and then entered the correct referrals:
*.mydomain.com/*
*mydomain.com/*
(notice with and without preceding dot)
You can still use the static map API key for non-java calls.
Don’t forget to set the Google Maps default zoom level in the Events Settings-General section.
I hope this resolves this for issue for all other EC map users.
