Google Maps API Error Only in Gutenberg Block Editor

    I’m having a strange issue where the map for an event will show just fine on the front end, but won’t load in the backend Gutenberg block editor. There are no JS errors when viewing the actual event page, but when viewed in Gutenberg it throws a “Google Maps JavaScript API error: ApiNotActivatedMapError” error in the JS console as well as an issue with the Static Maps API, which seems odd to me.

    I’ve attempted to create a custom API for this error, but that gives even more errors than the one that The Events Calendar provides.

    Help?

    Hi @typecconsulting ,
    Sorry to hear about this issue.

    This error message is saying that you don’t have your JavaScript API activated.

    Let’s start from the beginning, could you please confirm that you followed the steps to set up your Google maps API key?

    Specially make sure that both Geocoding and JS API are activated.

    Let me know how it goes

    Hi @sjaure,

    Does this require having billing information on file? It seems like it does when I try to activate the Geocoding API. If so, I’ll have to go through my client to do so.

    Please advise. Thanks.

    Hello there, thanks for the follow up,

    No, this wouldn’t require billing information.
    You could actually get your own API key for testing following the process indicated in the Knowledgebase article.

    Let me know how it goes
