Title: Google Map displaying error Last modified: October 29, 2018 --- # Google Map displaying error * Resolved [saugertyp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/saugertyp/) * (@saugertyp) * [7 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-map-displaying-error/) * Hello everyone, * on some events the Map is not correctly displayed. It shows a world map instead of the correct address. I already asked in the Google Forums, but after a while they answered that it’s no error with Google Maps and I must contact the Plugin developer. * The pin is set and the address is shown properly in the backend, but in the frontend it shows the worldmap. How is that possible? In many other events the map is shown properly as you can see here for example: [Event](http://moba-deutschland.de/event/jubilaeumsausstellung-40-jahre-mec-biberach/) * There is no error with the api key as Google checked it already. * Thank you all for the help! * Best regards, * saugertyp * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fgoogle-map-displaying-error%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 14 replies - 1 through 14 (of 14 total) * [proximity2008](https://wordpress.org/support/users/proximity2008/) * (@proximity2008) * [7 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-map-displaying-error/#post-10829456) * In console: * ``` js?key=AIzaSyAHdJzVHAy-MiiNhcAKNJyIJ8V7CFnPcvc&ver=1.0.0:51 Google Maps JavaScript API error: RefererNotAllowedMapError https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/error-messages#referer-not-allowed-map-error Your site URL to be authorized: http://moba-deutschland.de/event/oeffentliche-fahrtage/ ``` * See [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35288250/google-maps-javascript-api-referernotallowedmaperror](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35288250/google-maps-javascript-api-referernotallowedmaperror) * This is a classic API problem when you don’t have a billing account setup with your google map API Key. * Thread Starter [saugertyp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/saugertyp/) * (@saugertyp) * [7 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-map-displaying-error/#post-10829547) * Hello proximity2008, * I have a billing account setup and connected with my API key project which is also verified. Also why it works with some maps and a few don’t? I really don’t get it. * I’ve chosen embedded maps in Events Manager. Maybe I need to change something at the restrictions? I already tried the following restrictions for that API key: * Directions API Places API Maps JavaScript API Geocoding API Maps Embed API Geolocation API * I also tested it with no URL restriction.

If you’re using DIVI as theme, DIVI have a separate documentation on how to add their Map API Keys. * Can you also make sure that you have also enabled the following API’s and added the Billing Info? 1, Make sure that you have also added your BILLING ADDRESS, This is because google maps requires billing information now. 2. Geocoding API 3. Geolocating API 4. Directions API 5. Distance API 6. Elevation API * After you have made sure that you have activated those, You might need to re- enter the addresses again on the Field for the map to show. * Thread Starter [saugertyp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/saugertyp/) * (@saugertyp) * [7 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-map-displaying-error/#post-10973725) * Hello, * I’ve found out something new on this issue. * I could fix nearly every address beside these 2 and I think something is wrong with those addresses, not the Plugin. * First: [First Wrong Address](http://moba-deutschland.de/event/modellbahnausstellung-zur-hoennetalbahn/) Second: [Second Wrong Address](http://moba-deutschland.de/event/schautag/) * If I google those 2 addresses, it shows me no real address for the first wrong one. I don’t really know where exactly the event should be even though I use Google itself to look for it. * The second address is wrong even though it’s a real address. I don’t really know why it is not correctly displayed. It shows the correct address in the backend, but shows the world map in the frontend. * I think that error occurs due to an issue with the marker. The map doesn’t know where to place it, because anything is wrong with the address at the end when you save and publish it to the frontend. * At the backend it looks for the most accurate address, like if you type “Bahnhofstraße” in there, it shows any “Bahnhofstraße” in Germany. The more specific the data is, the better and more accurate it will be displayed. In the frontend it’s like: there is an error in the address? I don’t know where it is so I just show the world map. * Maybe you as the plugin support know how to solve that issue? Is it possible to get a new function like you have the option to either type in the address OR use the lat / long coordinates to put the marker? The lat / long option should show the address too though. * Thanks a lot for the help! * Regards, saugertyp * Thread Starter [saugertyp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/saugertyp/) * (@saugertyp) * [7 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-map-displaying-error/#post-10974538) * Oh btw, I am not using DIVI. I didn’t build the website and I don’t know the one who did it, but it’s definitaly not DIVI.
