 * Hi
 * I have on my fully opdated wordpress installation with the Storefront theme installed
   the Google Map Widget. I have optained the API-key and the thumbnail works fine.
   But when you click to see the lightbox, I get an error. “Google Maps Platform
   rejected your request. Invalid request. Invalid ‘language’ parameter.” When I
   examine it further in Chrome I get this: “Failed to load resource: the server
   responded with a status of 400 ()”
 * Any suggestions ?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Ferror-opening-lightbox%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi, sorry to hear you’re having problems.
 * Can you please try setting the lightbox language to English?

 * Now for the why: The internet is a wonderful place full of very nice people and
   a few very bad ones. I’m sure everyone here is very nice however, by giving some
   ones keys to your house you are trusting they wont steal anything. Likewise the
   person who takes the keys is now responsible for the house FOREVER.

   for damages, which they would not normally have been as their software is provided
