 * Since the latest round of updates, the Google API doesn’t seem to be working 
   properly. I even regenerated the key, placed the key and ran the check again –
   same error:
    “Location not found If you’re using the Google Maps, the more detail
   you provide, the more accurate Google can be at finding your location. If your
   address isn’t being found, please try it on maps.google.com by adding all the
   fields below separated by commas.”
 * I use WordPress 4.9.8 running Enfold theme and have verified the key in their
   template interface. I have checked an the keys are the same in both places.
 * Thoughts?

 * I can confirm. It doesn´t work anymore. Some days ago it worked fine. We have
   WP 5.0 and use an own key used from a payed account at google. This is really
   bad because we have tons of people searching for christmas markets.

 * Google now requires you to register 5 API keys 🙁
 * Maybe you will like this alternative:

 * Hello,
    have you found the solution re. problem with adding location? My web 
   administrator updated google maps on the page but now we cannot add any adrress
   to the property. Cannot publish anything because location is demanded. I run 
   property agency and can’t publish anything which is annoying! Web administrator
   doesn’t know how to do that. I’m begging for help!
