  2. Click your API key’s name to edit its settings.

yourname.com/*
*.yourname.com/*

Under Website restrictions, use ADD AN ITEM twice to add the two entries below

Follow these steps in order to fix ApiNotActivatedMapError.

It’s Still Not Working

Here are some points you have to check if you are still seeing the “This page didn’t load Google Maps correctly” error.

  1. Wait five minutes. Google says it can take up to five minutes for the changes to take effect.
  2. Check the console again. Revisit the section above on identifying the cause of the error. It is possible that you had two errors to begin with but only solved one or that the one error remains because you did not tweak the settings correctly.
  3. Clear your cache. If you’re using a caching plugin, purge it’s cache. Otherwise, your key might not be used right away. It doesn’t hurt to clear your browser cache either.
