 * I have WordPress version 5 and WP store locator Version 2.2.19.
 * I entered the browser key without any issues however when I added the server 
   key following error is displayed –
 * There’s a problem with the provided server key.
 * Error message: This IP, site or mobile application is not authorized to use this
   API key. Request received from IP address 74.208.57.169, with referer: [https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=Manhattan%2C+NY+10036%2C+USA&key=AIzaSyC26F8W45ZWXk9C_Jc2orCdegJFAXR_kfw](https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=Manhattan%2C+NY+10036%2C+USA&key=AIzaSyC26F8W45ZWXk9C_Jc2orCdegJFAXR_kfw).
 * Make sure the IP address mentioned in the error matches with the IP set as the
   referrer for the server API key in the Google API Console.
 * I created API for the first time, I called my service provider and reconfirmed
   the IP it’s hosted in a 1and1 server.
 * I have tried creating the key multiple times and created again fresh after removing
   the old one.
 * Please let me know how to fix this issue.
 * Thank you.

 * You have set the IP mentioned in the error as the referrer for the server key?
   It sometimes take a while before the changes are processed.
 * Try to delete the complete project in the Google API Console and create a [new set](https://wpstorelocator.co/document/create-google-api-keys/)
   of keys.
 * If that still fails, then contact [Google support](https://support.google.com/googleapi/contact/api_billing_support)
   and ask them about it, maybe they can see what the issue is.
