Try this plugin to fix that: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/api-key-for-google-maps/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/api-key-for-google-maps/) * Thread Starter [jcpennys7](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jcpennys7/) * (@jcpennys7) * [9 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/map-will-not-load/#post-7526276) * I have an api key and it is not working. * Can you provide further help? * Thread Starter [jcpennys7](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jcpennys7/) * (@jcpennys7) * [9 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/map-will-not-load/#post-7526280) * I also installed the plugin that your link suggested and it still does not work. * [Greg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gadietrich/) * (@gadietrich) * [9 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/map-will-not-load/#post-7526337) * I’ve having very similar issue and have added the API as well. The map simply is not loading and I’m getting 2 uncaught reference errors “google is not defined” in two separate js files. * [https://christiandiscipleshipintl.org/global-growth-points/](https://christiandiscipleshipintl.org/global-growth-points/) * Plugin Author [Matt Cromwell](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webdevmattcrom/) * (@webdevmattcrom) * [9 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/map-will-not-load/#post-7526339) * Just wanted to chime in that we’re digging into this deeper. A lot of users are reporting problems since the new requirement from Google for a Maps API key, but not all users, so it’s a bit difficult to narrow down exactly what the problem is. * I’ll update you on our progress as soon as possible. Thanks! * [Greg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gadietrich/) * (@gadietrich) * [9 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/map-will-not-load/#post-7526340) * Thanks Matt, helpful to hear from you. Is this affecting the pro version too? If not I could consider upgrading to that to get the fix in place. * Plugin Author [Matt Cromwell](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webdevmattcrom/) * (@webdevmattcrom) * [9 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/map-will-not-load/#post-7526341) * It affects Pro as well. * Plugin Author [Matt Cromwell](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webdevmattcrom/) * (@webdevmattcrom) * [9 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/map-will-not-load/#post-7526344) * [@gadietrich](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gadietrich/) can you create a new ticket here so we can track these two issue separately? They might not be exactly the same issue. * In your new ticket, please give me as much detail as you can on how you created your API Key. * [@jcpennys7](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jcpennys7/) Same question, can you provide details about the API key you created? Please disable that other plugin for now and let’s focus on Maps Builder and our own API Key settings. * Let me know, thanks! * [nonamn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nonamn/) * (@nonamn) * [9 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/map-will-not-load/#post-7526353) * I entered an API key and its not working for me either. The map is simply not showing, at all, (backend).
