Got ot the settings of WP Job Manager, and then choose the tab “Geo Search Form”. Scroll down to the zoom level * Or check your theme settings * Thread Starter [yachtchefjobs](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yachtchefjobs/) * (@yachtchefjobs) * [2 weeks, 1 day ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-map-level-help-needed/#post-18887606) * thanks Braehler.. * it appears that as I have added domain restrictions in Google api settings it wont work.. * I got this error when I checked the api in wp job manager settings: * “Google Maps Server API key test failed. Error message: API keys with referer restrictions cannot be used with this API.” * I added these restrictions in Google api as was recommended as if it wasnt activated it could cause my api to be seen and sued by 3rd parties. * is this correct or should i disable these restrictions.. * [braehler](https://wordpress.org/support/users/braehler/) * (@braehler) * [2 weeks, 1 day ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-map-level-help-needed/#post-18887749) * [@yachtchefjobs](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yachtchefjobs/) * as far as I know, you can unse a restriction, but you have to take a look a the docs here, how to exactly set up the key to get this to work. And you need two API Keys, a Browser and a Server Key [https://jobmanagergeolocation.com/docs/generate-google-maps-api-keys/](https://jobmanagergeolocation.com/docs/generate-google-maps-api-keys/) - This reply was modified 2 weeks, 1 day ago by [braehler](https://wordpress.org/support/users/braehler/). * Thread Starter [yachtchefjobs](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yachtchefjobs/) * (@yachtchefjobs) * [2 weeks, 1 day ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-map-level-help-needed/#post-18887788) * i ment thru the article an enabled only the api apps they said.. * i then tested api in wp job manager settings and had the error again: * > Google Maps Server API key test failed.

For them Geolocation addon you need a browser and A server API key, Browser API key has to be pasted into the setting san “GEo General Settings”Then you need a third one for Job Manger itself. Paste this one into the “generel Settings” tab of WPJM, this one has to be unrestricted - This reply was modified 2 weeks, 1 day ago by [braehler](https://wordpress.org/support/users/braehler/). * Thread Starter [yachtchefjobs](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yachtchefjobs/) * (@yachtchefjobs) * [2 weeks, 1 day ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-map-level-help-needed/#post-18887851) * ok, finally got there.. very complicated.. * so i had to enable 3 apis each having own key. * when i log int google api i see these: * -place api * -geocoding api * -maps javascript api * all enabled.. * Thread Starter [yachtchefjobs](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yachtchefjobs/) * (@yachtchefjobs) * [2 weeks, 1 day ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-map-level-help-needed/#post-18887862) * just to point out i dont have the geolocation plugin. i have paid enough for the core add on plugins for wp job manager. i also paid for the jobify theme.. * Thread Starter [yachtchefjobs](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yachtchefjobs/) * (@yachtchefjobs) * [2 weeks, 1 day ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-map-level-help-needed/#post-18887901) * ok so this article gave me some more info at [https://wpjobmanager.com/document/advanced-usage/geocoding-with-googles-maps-api/](https://wpjobmanager.com/document/advanced-usage/geocoding-with-googles-maps-api/) * i enabled custom field editor in the job listing page * i added a test job and put in the town, postcode and country as location * i saved this job. * i viewed job and it showed correct lcoation * i then went to edit job to see if the geocoding custom fields were showing.. * they were not. * so am giving up.. * Plugin Contributor [Jen H.

Thanks so much for your patience as we work through a bit of a support backlog. * Please don’t give up! You’ve made solid progress here. Getting the right Google Maps APIs enabled (Places, Geocoding, and Maps JavaScript) was the trickiest part, and it sounds like that’s done. * The “referer restrictions” error you hit earlier happens when an API key with HTTP referrer restrictions is used for server-side requests like geocoding, so removing those restrictions was the right fix. * For the map on your Find a Job page, the zoom level, world view, and job pins are all controlled by your Jobify theme, not by WP Job Manager. WPJM core handles geocoding (converting a location into latitude/longitude coordinates), but the visual map display is a theme feature. Jobify’s support team would likely be the ones to help with those settings. * On the geocoding custom fields: WPJM stores these as hidden post meta (geolocation_lat, geolocation_long, geolocation_city, etc.) on each job listing. They won’t appear as visible fields in the job editor by default, so what you saw is actually expected behavior. To confirm they’re being saved, check the Custom Fields section at the bottom of a job listing in WP Admin. You may need to enable it via Screen Options at the top of the page. * So to recap, your API setup seems good and geocoding should be working behind the scenes. The remaining piece, getting the map to display the way you want, is something Jobify’s support can help with. * If you have any other questions about WPJM itself, feel free to reach out to us.
