Make sure you have selected “Browser Key” and also make sure that your copying the whole key and that is doesn’t have any spaces in the front or end of it… pretty sure it’s “trimmed” but just in case. * Thread Starter [tricky7001](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tricky7001/) * (@tricky7001) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-api-key/#post-5194466) * tried again copied and pasted all code,nothing is trimmed ,i did select the browser key any ideas ??

A WordPress Multisite Network is an instance of WordPress that allows many websites to be published under a single installation. In other words, your site would share the same WP install as other websites. * The reason that I ask is to help narrow down the problem that’s all. One other issue may be that whoever is hosting your website doesn’t have CURL turned on in PHP. Maybe this thread will help: [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/api-wont-load-1?replies=12](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/api-wont-load-1?replies=12) * Thread Starter [tricky7001](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tricky7001/) * (@tricky7001) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-api-key/#post-5194564) * Yes i think so, i am hosted with Hostgator if this helps you.. * thanks * Thread Starter [tricky7001](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tricky7001/) * (@tricky7001) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-api-key/#post-5194566) * cURL support enabled cURL Information 7.19.7 Age 3 Features AsynchDNS No Debug No GSS-Negotiate Yes IDN Yes IPv6 Yes Largefile Yes NTLM Yes SPNEGO No SSL Yes SSPI No krb4 No libz Yes CharConv No Protocols tftp, ftp, telnet, dict, ldap, ldaps, http, file, https, ftps, scp, sftp Host x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu SSL Version NSS/3.15.3 ZLib Version 1.2.3 libSSH Version libssh2/1.4.2 * Thread Starter [tricky7001](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tricky7001/) * (@tricky7001) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-api-key/#post-5194576) * Hi, Do you have an answer please have to ….otherwise i will uninstall and go elsewhere. * Plugin Author [Thomas S.

Sorry for the delay again. No, I have no answer except that you should take it up with HostGator if you want to find the solution (or better yet, find another hosting provider). I’m usually very agnostic when it comes to things like hosting etc, but I just got done working with another client’s project on HostGator and it was a nightmare! Truly was like wrestling with an alligator!! * They do some weird stuff with caching and it breaks quite a few things in WordPress– in my recent experience that is. If you find out from HostGator why this is broken, I will certainly fix it and I would be interested to know!!! The problem I ran into the other day may be very similar to your issue as it would interfere with some ajax, redirect and curl calls. Somewhere in the caching algorithm they use it outputs code in the header causing problems. * That is my best guess anyway. After 10 hours of working on it (when the project worked perfectly elsewhere) the client decided it was best to move to a dedicated hosting platform rather than the shared platform with HostGator. That fixed the problems immediately. During the investigation into that other client’s problems I found numerous articles of interest here: [https://www.google.com/search?q=hostgator+wordpress+problems&oq=hostgator+wordpress+problems](https://www.google.com/search?q=hostgator+wordpress+problems&oq=hostgator+wordpress+problems). * If I have time to get to it this weekend, I will try and upload my plugin to a HostGator site and see if I can narrow down the issue. It really has my interest peaked… I’m just working under a deadline now with very little time. Sorry for the troubles – I’d love to help you out though!!! * Plugin Author [Thomas S.

I hope you found a solution (if you did please post it!) or found an alternative plugin to suit your needs.
