I have tried to get an api key, put it into the slot in the control panel and now I have pop ups saying

"The Google Maps API server rejected your request. This could be because the API key used on this site was registered for a different web site. You can generate a new key for this web site at http://code.google.com/apis/maps/."

Now the place of the map is white, and everytime i open up my tools or home page it says this message.

Can someone please show me how to make it work properly, or remove it completely. Currently I have no slot to put in a new api key.

Im not sure if i have given too much or not enough info, please enlighten me.

Thanks

    No, it didn't do it by itself. I fixed it for you by deleting the bad keys :)

    I'm having the same problem. I can't figure out how to delete the incorrect keys. I'm getting the following message: "This web site needs a different Google Maps API key. A new key can be generated at http://code.google.com/apis/maps/."

    Thanks in advance for the help!

    Go to your Control Panel > Settings tab, and down at the bottom you'll see the Google Maps Keys. Click to Delete it.

    Then you can get a new one from Google. :)

    I hope this helps! Please let us know if you need anything else.

    Take care,

    Thanks for the help! I went ahead and deleted the key and replaced it with another; however, I can't seem to get a map to generate. I've tried clicking through all the correct gallery setting but still haven't been able to generate the map.

    Hi Jason,

    You have a map key in your Control Panel now, and I'm not getting the error that was there before.

    If you want to have the map on both your domain and your SmugMug URL, you can have a map key for both:
    http://thefstopblues.com/
    http://thefstopblues.smugmug.com/


    If you have images that are geo-tagged and they aren't showing up on the map, try adding a caption to them, that seems to help.

    :)

    Hey Wendee, the issue I seem to be having now is a white square comes up without an actual map. How can I actually generate a map? Also, do you know how I can hide the map feature in my homepage and only display it in my galleries page? I really appreciate the help.

    Hi Jason,

    The map won't show anything until you have images with the geography set.

    If you do have images with the geography set, the latitude and longitude, but they're still not showing on the map, try adding a caption to the image. That seems to help sometimes.

    This code will remove the map from your homepage and put it onto your galleries page:

    .homepage #mapBox {
    display: none;
    }

    .galleries #mapBox {
    display: block !important;
    }

    :)

    You can holler at our Heroes if you're still having trouble with the map:
