Maps Block Having Issues

    According to this page, Google Maps has removed support for V2 of their API:
    https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/v2tov3

    The change appeared to have taken place today, because I’m finding a lot of embedded maps no longer working – including some I’ve added via the Map block.

    Depending on the browser, I receive an error where the embed would be stating “blocked by x-frame-options policy”.

    EDIT: It looks like adding a current API key to the map fixes the issue. But without the key, the map throws an error.

    Hi!

    Thanks for reporting this. It seems like Google Map has added restriction in how people embed maps without an API key. Here is an article to help you (https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/get-api-key). Once you have the key you can input it in the editor sidebar when you have the map block selected.

    @jonathanbardo – Thanks for your help! I was able to grab an API key to get the maps working again.

    Glad it worked out! We are currently reviewing our options for when an API key is not specified.

    Are you putting the API key into the box that is asking for it or in the code. When I put it in the editor sidebar it doesn’t let me input the map locations. Just resets everytime I hit submit

    @gsako I placed the API key in the editor’s sidebar. This was for existing maps, though so I didn’t notice any issues with the location.
