Hi @shuvo3232131,
Sorry for the trouble. The most common reason a Google Maps API key stops working with WP Job Manager is HTTP referrer restrictions. WPJM calls the Maps API server-side, so if your key is restricted to specific websites, it will fail with something like:
“API keys with referer restrictions cannot be used with this API.”
A few things to check in Google Cloud Console:
- Open your key and remove any HTTP referrer restrictions (or switch to IP-based restrictions and add your server’s IP)
- Make sure Geocoding API is enabled. If you use location autocomplete on the submit-job form, also enable Maps JavaScript API and Places API
- Confirm billing is active on the project. Maps requests fail silently without it, even on the free tier
Then in WP Admin, go to Job Listings → Settings → Pages, paste the key, save, and click Test Key. If you still see an error, share the exact message and I can point you to the fix.
Also, could you share the URL of your site and let me know what you see when you visit a job listing page? That will help me confirm whether you are using the core plugin’s geocoding or an add-on/theme that displays a visible map.
