I am confused by a missing task step it now says we need to verify. <strong>First Question:<\/strong> should all our settings including Google API info have been automatically transferred\/translated over to your new system? <strong>Second Question: <\/strong>You have 3 tasks that need to be done, it shows we have 2 of the 3 done. The missing step is <strong>&#8220;Choose a Map Service&#8221;<\/strong> but if we all ready had that all set up in your previous WP Store Locator why is it sparking an issue now? Also when I do click it &#8211; it does show Google Maps with our Browser and Server Key info all ready in there and a blue button to &#8220;Save and Verify&#8221;. When I clicked that I got an error message that says:<br \/>The Google Geocode API returned the following error for the server key.<br \/>Error code: 403<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And when I look at the reason it says this with an IP Number &#8211; I removed IP numbers for purposes of this public message but all 3 places it showed an IP number they where all the exact same IP Number:<br \/><br \/><em>Reason: The provided API key has an IP address restriction. The originating IP address of the call <strong>(IP number)<\/strong> violates this restriction.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>You have restricted this API key to an IP address that differs from where the API call originated <strong>(IP number)<\/strong>. If you change the IP restriction to <strong>(IP Number)<\/strong>, the error should be resolved.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So I am confused &#8211; if the IP Number I am supposed to change it to is the same exact IP Number from where the API call originated &#8211; why are we getting an error message and if it&#8217;s showing what we are supposed to change the IP Number to and it&#8217;s the same exact number, what is it supposed to be change to?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thank You for any help you can give on this very confusing task.<br \/>Ruth<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-19027335","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/19027335","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/19027335\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19027336,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/19027335\/revisions\/19027336"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19027335"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
