 * Good day
 * My google maps is not working and am unsure how to proceed. It keeps telling 
   me to look at java script for more details but I don’t know code.

 * We need you to provide more details about the error, if you use Chrome please
   open the website where you have the problem then click F12 then ESC and you will
   see some errors in red, copy/paste here 🙂

 * The script element that loads the API is missing the required authentication 
   parameter. If you are using the standard Maps JavaScript API, you must use a 
   key parameter with a valid API key. If you are a Premium Plan customer, you must
   use either a client parameter with your client ID or a key parameter with a valid
   API key.

 * That’s pretty clear :P, just add theses lines in your functions.php after changing**
   YOUR_API_KEY** with the key you get it from here : [https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/get-api-key](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/get-api-key)(
   click `get key` button)
 *     ```
       add_action('wp_footer', 'google_api_js');
       function google_api_js(){
       	wp_enqueue_script( 'google-map-api', 'https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=YOUR_API_KEY&callback=initMap');
       }
       ```
