 * Hello,
 * I inserted the Google Map API in Settings but the map is not shown in the event
   location in admin. It’s a white square.
    Console: Google Maps API error: MissingKeyMapError
 * In the frontend it works.
 * Thank you!

 * You need a key for it to work normally. I try to work around this by ignoring
   this, but some places still just require it (as google normally requires it too).
   So go get a maps api key and enter it in the EME settings.

 * I did, but it’s not showing in admin in event location. In the frontend it works.

 * And you still have that error? Because that would be impossible … I just tested
   it here as well, and the map shows fine (key and all).
    Can you check your console
   again? Is there some other map plugin you’re using?

 * Interesting enough in the frontend console: You have included the Google Maps
   API multiple times on this page. This may cause unexpected errors.
    Theme: TREND
 * I suspect Visual Composer? Investigating, I’ll be back with an answer.
