Thread: Google Maps not working with referrer restrictions

Google Maps not working with referrer restrictions

Hi, all. I've been battling with the google maps API, and tried every solution noted in these forums and elsewhere. It's still not working. I get these errors in the system info check:

Google Places API: REQUEST_DENIED: Browser API keys cannot have referer restrictions when used with this API.
Google Geocoding API: Browser API keys cannot have referer restrictions when used with this API.

And of course, the 'oops, something went wrong' error when trying to load a map.

I've tried the following:

verified the API key is correct
verified referrer address is correct
regenerated the key
deleted the project and started a new one
deleted and reinstalled the theme
deleted and reinstalled wordpress and started from scratch

The maps work fine without the referrer restriction.

I'm using Wordpress 4.8.2 Vantage 4.1.2

What else could I possibly be missing to try?

Thanks a lot, I appreciate any help.
