 * When using the WP Google Maps plugin, on page reload the map appears for a split
   second and then disappears and a grey “Oops! Something went wrong!” appears, 
   what is the reason for this?

 * Hi Lolly.
 * On 22 June 2016 Google Geo Developers announced that Google Maps no longer supports
   keyless access to their API and that all API calls must now contain an API key.
 * This means that all new and existing users of WP Google Maps will now have to
   register on the Google API console in order to get a Google Maps Javascript API
   key. In the past, Google Maps allowed you to display a map without an API key
   but unfortunately from now on this will not be possible.
 * There are no costs involved with creating an API key however, as it has been 
   in the past, you will be limited to 25 000 map requests per day.
 * For full documentation on how to create this API key, please visit [http://www.wpgmaps.com/documentation/creating-a-google-maps-api-key](http://www.wpgmaps.com/documentation/creating-a-google-maps-api-key)
   or watch the video tutorial on Youtube ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OH98za14LNg](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OH98za14LNg))
 * I hope the above helps?
