Google Maps API error: MissingKeyMapError

The Google Maps APIs require an API key for new domains as of today. See announcement: http://googlegeodevelopers.blogspot.com.au/2016/06/building-for-scale-updates-to-google.html

To fix this:

1) Create an API key as per instructions here: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/get-api-key

2) Edit the line in the plugin that loads the Google Maps API to include your key as the value of a ‘key’ parameter. Wherever you find “https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js” or “http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js” in the plugin, change it to “https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=YOUR_API_KEY”.

I think I found it!

where is the line please? In which file?

I spent about 7 hours to figure out how to make these API keys working -.-

Firstly, I got the ApiNotActivatedMapError, then the the RefererNotAllowedMapError one. Finally I was able to fix the situation thanks to the troubleshooting section in this Maps Api keys tutorial.

Anyway, I really regret the time when everything worked out of the box without any keys or error… And I think that I’m not the only one
