To use google maps in MyListing, first thing you need to do is generate a Google map API key.
Follow these steps to get an API key:
- Go to the Google Cloud Platform Console.
- Create or select a project.
- Click Continue to enable the API and any related services.
You will need to Enable Geocoding API, Maps JavaScript API, Places API
You can find them here - On the Credentials page, get an API key.
- From the dialog displaying the API key, select Restrict key to set a browser restriction on the API key.
- In the Key restriction section, select Websites, under Website restrictions add your website in this format *yoursite.com/*
- Copy the API key and add it in wp-admin > theme tools > map services > general > Google Maps API Key
I have an API key but it does not seem to be working
If the API key is not properly configured, you may notice maps not showing up, location auto-suggest not working, listings not showing up in explore page map among other things.
Good thing is, it’s very easy to find the cause. You can simply right click on the page > choose “Inspect element” > choose “Console”, and there you will see a warning related to maps and a link to google maps documentation related to that warning.
