Places API not working

[alinahomecare]

Hi, me again. I have enabled the google places API but it is not working. See here: https://alinahomecare.com/locations-2/

I’m not sure why as I know the API key works as I use it for another plugin.

Hi,

Can you check the back-end login details? They does not work for me.

You cannot access this content.

Thank you!

I ran a quick debug, and the google API returns this error message:

{
   "error_message" : "API keys with referer restrictions cannot be used with this API.",
   "predictions" : [],
   "status" : "REQUEST_DENIED"
}

There is probably a restriction set for the API key. Try checking and changing the restriction to IP addresses (web servers..), and use your server IP.

Thanks, that fixed it. However, the suggestion appears in a light grey font but i can’t find a way for the user to actually select the suggestion? https://alinahomecare.com/locations-2/

Try the keyword suggestions instead. It will apply whenever there are no matches.
