 * I put the plugin in our widget area #2 in the footer but the thumbnail does not
   load. Here is what is looks like ([https://cl.ly/c2612302b6bd](https://cl.ly/c2612302b6bd))
 * It says “This site can’t load Google Maps correctly. Do you own this website?”
 * The error in the INSPECT Console says — Failed to load resource: the server responded
   with a status of 403 ()
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fthumbnail-not-loading-2%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * This is an API key issue. Either you don’t have the static maps API enabled or
   the domain is not whitelisted to use it. Check your console, make sure everything
   is set correctly and then wait 5-10min until the cache clears.
