Hi there,
Thank you for getting in touch, I’m sorry to hear you’re experiencing issues.
The plugin shouldn’t function any different on localhost than on a remote site. Could you please tell me what errors specifically you are getting?
Kind regards

Sorry bout the delayed response. I don’t get notified for some reason of any responses.
No specific error comes up, but what does happen is that when the page first loads, a map of the world loads up for a split second then all i get is a distorted picture of an information exclamation mark like ! and a circle around it. Then that’s all that shows up. There is no map at all.
Hi there,
Could you please open your Javascript console (F12 -> Console) and refresh the page, then tell me the error messages that appear in your console?
Kind regards

util.js:222 Google Maps API warning: RetiredVersion https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/error-messages#retired-version
Hi there
Please go to your Google API dashboard here: https://console.developers.google.com/apis/dashboard and open the relevant project
Please do any one of the following:
– Set your HTTP referrer to *localhost/*
– Find your IP address using Google, and use your IP address instead of HTTP referrer
– Set the key to be unrestricted (please do not forget to restrict the key in production)
I would also recommend you edit your previous reply and redact the API key in that error message, especially if you are going to use the 3rd solution.
Please let me know if that works for you?
Kind regards
– Perry
