Hi,
Yes, Google is not making this easy on anyone 🙁 Thankfully, the message and the cause of the problem are pretty clear – you’ve banned your site from using the API key. Thankfully we can sort that out in no time. Be sure you have these two hosts whitelisted in Google’s Console:
woononaosteo.com.au/*
*.woononaosteo.com.au/*
If you already have those two in but it’s still not working, then, as a temporary measure, leave the API key empty in the plugin – maps will work, and we’ll help you create a new key.
If you don’t have those two – add them, save and wait for about 10 minutes for Google to propagate changes and maps should start working.
Apparently I can’t set that whitelisting with a “free”, “ordinary” Google account – I have to pay for an admin account through Google at Work. After following their ‘Find out more’ link I’ve found more that wasn’t what I wanted to find. So I wasn’t able to make that setting.
Or am I barking up the wrong tree here?
More importantly, should I feel guilty for daring to build websites without having a Google at Work account?
The email you used to login on Console is it @gmail.com or a custom domain?
It’s a Gmail account, but not an Admin one.
I presume this is the whitelisting you’re referring to?

If not, could you provide a link to Google’s instructions for what you’re recommending?
No, no. Those are Google Apps; you need the API Console. https://console.developers.google.com/apis/ and then when you create a new credential (API key) you set the “Accept requests from these HTTP referrers (web sites) (Optional)”
Okay, I’ve added a CNAME and TXT confirmation that I own the domain and Google has successfully verified it. Happy days. I’ve also listed the websites in the ‘Accept requests from these HTTP referrers’ fields as *.woononaosteo.com.au/* and *.woononaosteopathic.com.au/*.
However on the site nothing has changed: the map is still not showing, and it has the same broken graphic link and the same error in the modal map. 🙁
Yes, unfortunately, the error is still the same. Until we can figure out what went wrong in the Console just remove the API key from GMW settings – maps will work immediately.
