Pop-Up Map Error – 'attribution_source' parameter

    Hello,

    I went ahead and updated to 3.0 this morning, enabled the Google Static Maps and Google Maps Embed APIs, and yet am still having some trouble with the plugin. I have a map embedded with a widget on the sidebar of my website. Usually, when you click on the map, it opens a pop-up window displaying a larger version of the map. However, at this point I’m basically just seeing the following message:

    “The Google Maps API server rejected your request. Invalid request. Missing the ‘attribution_source’ parameter.”

    So, I restored the plugin to its previous version for the time being and setup a staging site to do some testing on. You can see the issue at the staging URL: http://cfd.ec3.myftpupload.com/2016-acim-conference-las-vegas/venue (the map is in the right-hand sidebar).

    I know you’re working on a video tutorial (great idea) which may help me, but in the meantime, do you have any suggestions for how I might resolve this issue?

    Please let me know if I can provide any further information.

    Thank you,
    JP

    Hi,
    For some reason get_bloginfo('name') is returning an empty string on your site, we haven’t thought about that case and Google doesn’t like an empty string 🙁 Can you please email us at gmw(monkey)webfactoryltd.com with admin credentials for the staging site so that we can have better look before publishing an update. Thanks!

    Ah, well that makes it simple. We hadn’t wanted the default site title to show up on our home page, but I just added one and hid it via CSS. Seems like the pop-up map is working perfectly now!

    Thank you!
