    Hi,

    Thanks for that. On which page are you using the Google Maps element? Also, please check the analytics tracking code you have added, you need to add the whole code snippet, not just the part you have added.

    Best regards,

    Hi Rikard,

    So I added the whole analytics tracking code. In the theme it is written to “Entrez votre ID de suivi de Google (UA-XXXXX-X) OU votre code de suivi Google Analytics complet ici.”, that’s the reason why I only entered my tracking ID before…

    About Google Maps, I’m not using it on a page for the moment, because of this API Key, it doesn’t work on pages. So for the moment I’m using an extension named 10Web Google Maps, but I would like to use Enfold Google Maps…

    Thanks for your help!

    Hi,

    We tried to validate the API key and found a few errors in the console.

    Geocoding Service: You must enable Billing on the Google Cloud Project at https://console.cloud.google.com/project/_/billing/enable Learn more at https://developers.google.com/maps/gmp-get-started  For more information on authentication and Google Maps JavaScript API services please see: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/get-api-key

    You have to enable billing for the project where the key is generated and turn on the Geocoding Services API. Check the documentation for more info.

    // https://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/google-map/#enable-services-for-google-api

    When you’re done with the previous steps, please don’t forget to deactivate the map plugin before validating the key again.

    Best regards,
    Ismael

    Hi Ismael,
    You’re speaking about billing. Does it mean using Google Maps is a chargeable service??
    Thanks!

    Hi,

    Yes, Google Maps charge for their service. But small or medium sized sites will likely never have to pay since they give you $200 for free each month: https://cloud.google.com/maps-platform/pricing/

    Hi,

    Thanks for that. This is the error message you are getting from Google Maps: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/error-messages#invalid-key. Please try following the documentation there.

    Hi,
    got a strange problem with Google Maps API.
    A freshly generated key is recognized as correct in my Enfold Child Theme Google settings.
    But the google map on the actual page can not be displayed?

    What am I doing wrong?
