 * I’m getting an error from Google stating the developer API Key has been disabled.
 * > Google has disabled use of the Maps API for this application. The provided 
   > key is not a valid Google API Key, or it is not authorized for the Google Maps
   > Javascript API v3 on this site. If you are the owner of this application, you

 * [@jawittdesigns](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jawittdesigns/) Yes, other
   users are reporting this issue as well. patch is in the works. In the meantime,
   we recommend generating your own API key ([https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/tutorial#api_key](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/tutorial#api_key))
   and updating line 67 of address-geocoder.php.

 * The workaround worked for me 🙂
 * [@jawittdesigns](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jawittdesigns/) to confirm
   you will need to replace the following **bold** part with your own API Key (should
   be line 67 in address-geocoder.php)
 * wp_register_script( ‘googlemaps’, ‘//maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=**AIzaSyBUUGSskO3GEjKLHjT4EIV-
   H2_Xs3MfPiA**&sensor=false’ );

 * i think that the fix should really allow us to define our own api key somewhere,
   in a file or in a setting, and maybe default to your key, but in the end each
   user should be using their own key

 * [@schutzsmith](https://wordpress.org/support/users/schutzsmith/), did you provide
   your own key via Settings -> Address Geocoder?

 * Yeah, sorry that was a brief message!
 * Sorry, false alarm. I had forced the referrer previously. Removed that and we’re
   all good to go!
 * Thanks for replying so quickly though! This is a great addition to use with FacetWP.
 * Cheers!
