Google Maps API Key

To be able to use the Google Maps and/or the Google Autocomplete functionality you need to generate a new API key in the Google Cloud Console, the process is a bit complicated, unfortunately, so to set up it, it is best to follow our video below

 

One note: in the video, in 2:34 you need to provide your actual domain name instead of “your-domain.com”.

Once you finish the video, you should have an API key generated, copy it, and enter in wp-admin / Classifieds / Options / Maps and Locations panel in the “Google API Key” field.

Each month Google will grant you $200 worth of free credits to use the APIs, but even if you are within the free limit, you need to configure and assign some payment method to your API key in the Google Cloud Billing, otherwise, the API will not work.
