Is the api key fix something I can implement manually without too much difficulty? I’m starting to have the problem too, but I’ve never done much with PHP.

I don’t have that option on the admin page because I’m using an older version of bgmp (1.10.5) and can’t update due to customizations—see my original post above. * Thanks trying to help, though! * Thread Starter [lucasrafaelleite](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lucasrafaelleite/) * (@lucasrafaelleite) * [9 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-google-maps-api-error-missingkeymaperror/#post-8277971) * What link the site? * [amandelman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/amandelman/) * (@amandelman) * [9 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-google-maps-api-error-missingkeymaperror/#post-8277976) * [http://www.wi101.org](http://www.wi101.org) * Plugin Author [Ian Dunn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/iandunn/) * (@iandunn) * [9 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-google-maps-api-error-missingkeymaperror/#post-8278818) * > Is the api key fix something I can implement manually without too much difficulty? * Yeah, it shouldn’t be too hard, assuming the customizations aren’t too extensive. You’ll definitely wants a diff tool that will ignore whitespace changes, though, like DeltaWalker. r1479108 switched from Windows to Unix line endings, which would add a lot of noise to the diff if it included whitespace. * [amandelman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/amandelman/) * (@amandelman) * [9 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-google-maps-api-error-missingkeymaperror/#post-8278855) * Hi, Ian. * The whitespace stuff you mention is way over my head. I’m guessing there isn’t just a block of PHP I can throw in to fix the issue? * Thread Starter [lucasrafaelleite](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lucasrafaelleite/) * (@lucasrafaelleite) * [9 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-google-maps-api-error-missingkeymaperror/#post-8291724) * Lower the new version of the plugin and compares with the current version on your website, this would be a tip!
