Troubleshooting ​
Solutions for the most common issues with WP Google Street View.
Map shows a grey box or does not load ​
Cause: Missing or invalid API key. Fix: Go to WP Google Street View → Settings and verify your API key. Test it by opening the Google Cloud Console and checking the API dashboard for errors.
"For development purposes only" watermark ​
Cause: Billing is not enabled on your Google Cloud project. Fix: Enable billing on the project associated with your API key.
"ApiNotActivatedMapError" in the browser console ​
Cause: One or more required APIs are not enabled. Fix: Enable all four APIs.
"RefererNotAllowedMapError" ​
Cause: Your API key's HTTP referrer restriction does not match your domain. Fix: In the Google Cloud Console, edit your API key and add your domain to the referrer list.
Map loads on the admin preview but not on the front end ​
Cause: A caching plugin is interfering. See Caching compatibility. Fix: Clear all caches and exclude the Google Maps script from JavaScript optimization.
Street View shows a blank panorama ​
Cause: No Street View coverage exists at the specified coordinates. Fix: Verify coverage by visiting Google Maps and dropping the Pegman on the location.
Multiple maps on one page — only the first renders ​
