I always get a Google Maps error (GEOCODE)
If you get a “Geocoder failed due to: REQUEST_DENIED” error, then right click on yoursite, click on inspect and open the browser console. Reload your store locator page, and watch out for Google Errors. An example below:Example above shows this error.
Geocoding Service: This API project is not authorized to use this API. For more information on authentication and Google Maps JavaScript API services please see: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/get-api-key
Also please make sure you have setup your API Key correctly in the Google Console:
- Allow your domain to access the key
- Enable: Google Places API Web Service
- Enable: Google Maps JavaScript
- Enable: Google Maps Geocoding
If this does not work – open up the developer console. Reload the page and look into the console error.

Google Maps API warning: NoApiKeys https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/error-messages#no-api-keys
Have you enabled the Geocoding service for your API Key?
Hi,
yes I enabled.
if you go to the link you can see the error in the console.
I have also problem with the modal view….the page is totally black…(there’s black background set) even if manually removed it’s not usable.
can you have a look at it?
thank you
Hi there,
it seems like your API Key is expired. The error message directs to https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/error-messages#expired-key-map-error
This you need to fix in google’s API console. Otherwise pleae send WP-Admin to su*****@we******.io and with a link to your Modal issue.
Does Google Maps Now require payment to work with store locator? We can not figure out a way to get the GEOCode to go a way with out a payment account?
Hi Eric,
Google offers you a $200 free for month budget. After that you may need to pay, but you can read more here: https://cloud.google.com/maps-platform/pricing/
We continue to this get error mssg: ‘Geocoder failed due to: REQUEST_DENIED’ despite having set up the Google Maps API, site is verified etc – can you provide some clear direction on what needs to be done to resolve the issue.
Thank you –
Hi there,
you will need to enable the Geocoding Service in Google API Console.
Hello,
I get the Error “Geocoder failed due to: REQUEST_DENIED”?
What is wrong ?

Hello,
I cannot get it to work, when I open Chrome DevTools console I get these errors:
“You have included the Google Maps JavaScript API multiple times on this page. This may cause unexpected errors.”
This WP installation is also using Google-Analytics-Dashboard-for-WP
Which seems to include the same javascript for Google Maps. What can be done to avoid this conflict? Thank you!
Google Analytics dashboard should not execute the maps JS script? Ask the other plugin dev please.
I can’t get my API to work …
I have followed the steps of several tutorials and I don’t get it to work.
I have followed these steps:
1- I have gone to google cloud platform
2- Create API
3- I have chosen the second option HTTP referrers (web sites) – I have tried both putting the url of my website and leaving it blank.
4- I create the API and enter it in the corresponding field of the plugin.
This does not work…
Geolocation API is UP
Maps JavaScript API is UP
Any idea what it could be?
Hi.
The map works when I am logged in but not when I view in incognito mode.
Please help:

I am also having this issue. The plugin works fine when I am logged in and viewing the site. When I am in incognito or my phone it has the “For development use only” watermark.
-Billing is already set up
-I have an API key
-I have enabled Maps Javascript API, Geocoder API, Places API, and DIrections API
I am not sure where the issue is coming from. Here are the error codes I am getting from inspecting.
– Geocoding Service: You must use an API key to authenticate each request to Google Maps Platform APIs.
-Google Maps JavaScript API warning: NoApiKeys
Any Help would be appreciated.
Please make sure your site & local browser cache is cleared completely.
Hello, this is a pre-sale question. Can you confirm the store location on this website is your plugin? Thanks, >>
Yes we confirm that is our store locator plugin
Hello
I don’t know why, but for some reason, after for a while, need to enable Maps JavaScript API on Google console every time from https://console.developers.google.com/flows/enableapi?apiid=maps_backend&keyType=CLIENT_SIDE&reusekey=true.
This needs to be done on Chrome, Safari, Firefox. It doesn’t sound right as I need to set this for each device and browser. Can you give me the correct guidance, please?
I am also having this issue. when logged into the site, the map shows correctly but when I am in incognito or logged out it has the “For development use only” watermark.
-Billing is already set up
-I have an API key
-I have enabled Maps Javascript API, Geocoder API and Places API
I see there is a warning – Google Maps JavaScript API warning: NoApiKeys but that simply makes no sense as they are active. The billing is setup and I have cleared the sites cache.
Any Help would be appreciated.
