 * Hi, I posted this original topic regarding the issue of seeing “Geocode was not
   successful for the following reason: REQUEST_DENIED” when adding a listing:
 * [https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/directorist/](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/directorist/)
 * I’m still getting the same error message and have done the following:
    – Enabled
   Geocoding in Project – Checked billing is set up for the project – Generated 
   a new API Key – Enabled Geocoding and Maps Javascript API on my API Key – Updated
   API Key in Directorist settings with the new one I’d really appreciate a little
   more help here. Thanks!
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fgeocode-request-denied%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Hello,
    Please confirm if you’ve updated your referrers for your Google Maps 
   API key to your site. This can be done by logging into your Google Developer 
   Console, clicking on ‘Credentials’ and updating them after clicking ‘Edit’ on
   your API key.
 * Thanks.

    Please chose “Don’t restrict key” under “API Restriction” option and try
   again.

    I unrestricted the key and am still getting the same error code. Any other

 * I’d really love for this to be resolved before I buy the extensions bundle, so
   I know that Google Maps is an option for me.
    Is there anything else I should
   look into to resolve this? Everything is set up on the Console. Could this be
   a Javascript issue? A clash with other plugins? I’d really appreciate your help.
   Thanks!

 * Hi,
    I’ve installed the Beta version and now I’m having a different problem. 
   I can only see custom fields on this page [http://hapitat.com/addlisting/](http://hapitat.com/addlisting/)
   no other questions, so I’m unable to see if the Map works. What is causing this?

 * I’ve restored the current version of the Directorist as the Beta version didn’t
   work to add listings.
    I now have all of the API’s above enabled and linked to
   my API Key. And I’m STILL getting the same error message: “Geocode was not successful
   for the following reason: INVALID_REQUEST”
 * Please any other suggestions? I’d really like to get this resolved so I can get
   this up and running.
 * Thanks

 * Screenshot No. 1 – when I click on a business everything works, the Lat & Long
   auto populate.

 * Screenshot No. 2 – when I refresh the page and try and type in the Lat & Long
   previously given, the error appears.
