 * Hi! 1st November, 2025: I hope you can help. In the past 24 hours, I cannot add
   any maps to my Posts. When editing, I see the message ‘Google Maps Platform has
   rejected your request. The provided API key is invalid’ I have double checked
   the API and it IS correct. Can you offer any solution or point me in the direction
   of any troubleshooting I can do?
   Maps in previous Posts still display OK, it’s
   just I can’t seem to add NEW ones.ThanksSteve

 * I see the map in some posts and seems OK. Maybe it’s a cache issue on the new
   one? Can you give me a link to one page where it’s broken?

 * Sorted! Looks like the stored API within WordPress got corrupted somehow. Luckily,
   I’d made a note of it elsewhere and replaced it within the Plugin. All working
   now! 👍
