If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin( s). – switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific problems * [Plastikschnitzer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/plastikschnitzer/) * (@plastikschnitzer) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-maps-error/#post-7511576) * Same here! Strange thing is that google maps is working on some sites and on some it does not. Its a Multisite install with Events manager. * Javascript console statement: * Google Maps API error: Google Maps API error: MissingKeyMapError [https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/error-messages#missing-key-map-error](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/error-messages#missing-key-map-error) * [wordcompress](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wordcompress/) * (@wordcompress) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-maps-error/#post-7511582) * hi i really like your event manager and would like to use in my site, however im getting a spinning magnifying glass on the screen. i have never seen anything like this before so i did a short video clip on 2 different systems showing the same problem. i did all the tips above my post but yet the problem exist. * the video clip is unlisted and here is the direct youtube link [https://youtu.be/YZ-62py3eLU](https://youtu.be/YZ-62py3eLU) * i downloaded events manager from [http://wp-events-plugin.com/](http://wp-events-plugin.com/). i installed the plugin on a Debian 8 64bit self hosting server with a clean unmodified or unconfigured “green lantern” free WordPress theme installed from within most recent released WordPress. * as seen on this clip when i click on the “events” button a spinning ” magnifying glass “covers the whole screen which prevents me from accessing or seeing whats underneath. * here im showing the problem from client side windows 7 and linux machines. * [caimin_nwl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/caimin_nwl/) * (@caimin_nwl) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-maps-error/#post-7511590) * This sounds like a possible conflict caused by your theme or another plugin. To check if it is, can you test with all other plugins deactivated and while running the default WordPress theme? * Which version of Events Manager are you using? * [priscapitz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/priscapitz/) * (@priscapitz) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-maps-error/#post-7511593) * I have the same problem *but* after the migration from a domain to an another domain. The plugins that are installed are the same for both the domains, unfortunately in the second domain site the maps are not visible. * The error is the same: Google Maps API warning: NoApiKeys [https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/error-messages#no-api-keys](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/error-messages#no-api-keys) js?v=3.23&libraries=places&callback=em_maps:35 * Google Maps API error: Google Maps API error: MissingKeyMapError [https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/error-messages#missing-key-map-error](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/error-messages#missing-key-map-error) * How can I correct the api? * [BeHeard](https://wordpress.org/support/users/beheard/) * (@beheard) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-maps-error/#post-7511594) * Same problem – clean install no other plugins Default 20/15 theme.

Can’t seem to get around it even by adding the key to the EM script that loads the Maps library. Happens in public pages and admin. * [globalmatt](https://wordpress.org/support/users/globalmatt/) * (@globalmatt) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-maps-error/#post-7511605) * Presumably this is because Google changed the Maps API on June 22 to require an API key going forward: * [http://googlegeodevelopers.blogspot.com.au/2016/06/building-for-scale-updates-to-google.html](http://googlegeodevelopers.blogspot.com.au/2016/06/building-for-scale-updates-to-google.html) * If true then the developers of the Events Manager plugin will need to update their plugin to provide an API key. * [priscapitz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/priscapitz/) * (@priscapitz) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-maps-error/#post-7511607) * Thank you, globalmatt!!
