Thread: Google Maps Key

Google Maps Key

I can NEVER figure this out.

In settings there is a link to here https://developers.google.com/maps/d.../start#api_key

Top of the page in the header area it says get a key so I click on it.

An enable google maps Geocoding API box comes up with Select or create project. I select create a project and type my website name into it then click on Enable Api.

A few seconds pass and the box changes and displays an api key. I copy this key and then paste it into jobroller Admin / Settings / General / Api Key box and save.

No matter how many sites and how many different keys it never seems to work and I either get support here to sort it or the child theme author to sort it.

Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong as I can't for the life of me work it out.


This is what I get in console after saving the key
