Here’s an image of what the venue feature looks like in my event list:

Can you advise me on what to do about this?

Hi Elizabeth,

I’m glad to hear that you got this working.

Google recently made a change that now requires an API key. Here are the steps for getting that running for any other members that may come across this issue.

1) Go to WP-admin (WP dashboard) –> Event Espresso –> Venues –> Google Maps

2) Towards the top of the page, you will see a new field for the Google Maps API key. There is a link that says click here to get an API key. Go ahead and click on it.

3) You will be prompted to login to your Google account. If you do not have one, then take a moment to create one and then login

4) After logging in, you will be asked to accept the terms and conditions. Go ahead and do that and then click Agree and Continue: http://cl.ly/1L2g1L3C0v21

5) On the following page, you’ll be asked to enter a name for the project. Go ahead and do so and then click Create: http://cl.ly/3w1X3L2T0s44

6) Allow a few moments for the API Key to be created and then your key will appear: http://cl.ly/1O3K2V1x3M3U

7) Copy it and then switch to your other browser tab for the Google Maps settings for Event Espresso and paste it within the Google Maps API Key field and then save changes
