 * Hi
   I have added the Maps Key API as “Browser key” and looks to workThen I have
   created a Geocoding API key as “Server key” but on save I receive the error There’s
   a problem with the provided [server key](https://wpstorelocator.co/document/create-google-api-keys/#server-key).
   Error message: API keys with referer restrictions cannot be used with this API.
   Can you please help me to resolve this?Thank you

 * Issue resolved, if you have the same issue:
   Create a new API key **in the same
   project where is the “Browser key”** and in Application restrictions choose: 
   HTTP Referrer and add your server IP

 * Hi there!
 * As a matter of fact, our documentation covers the creation of both API keys in
   detail, have a look at this article: [Create Google API keys](https://wpstorelocator.co/document/create-google-api-keys/).
 * Best regards,
