 * Hi there…
 * Using Simple Google Map in conjunction with the Story theme, I get the following
   error on the page:
 * Oops! Something went wrong.
    This page didn’t load Google Maps correctly. See
   the JavaScript console for technical details.
 * In the js console, I see:
 * js?ver=31035b6…:32 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)
 * Here’s the web page in question:
 * [http://www.nextlevelstrengthcoaching.com/contact-2/](http://www.nextlevelstrengthcoaching.com/contact-2/)
 * I am using this combination successfully on other sites. Ideas?
 * Please advise. And thank you!

 * Hi KJ,
    It seems Google has changed the Maps API plan such that as of June 22,
   sites that were not already using Google Maps must have an API key. You can read
   all about it here: [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).
 * Looks like we’ll have to add the ability to record an API key within the plugin
   settings. I’ll try to get that added in for you.

 * Check out the latest version. You can now add an api key via the Settings page.

 * Thank you! I’m sorry for my delay – somehow I didn’t get an email. Must have 
   it going to an old address. I’ll check this out and report back.

 * That did the trick. Thanks so much for turning that around so quickly!
