# [Plugin: Basic Google Maps Placemarks] Error: Google Map API server rejected your request …

 * I thought I’d post this link to a [thread on another WordPress Forum](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-simplemap-store-locator-only-works-when-logged-in?replies=2)
   because it solved an issue I just experienced with Basic Google Maps Placemarks
   and I thought the answer might help someone else down the track.
 * It was a puzzling error message being thrown by the Google Map API Server because
   it only happened when I wasn’t logged in – if I was logged in everything worked
   as expected so I wasn’t aware there was an issue until a site visitor pointed
   it out to me. To resolve the issue, all it took was unticking the two conflicting
   options in the Better WordPress Security plug-in (“Filter suspicious query strings”
   and “Display random version number…”).
