  Beginning on June 11, 2018, we’ll need to enable billing with a credit card and have a valid Google Maps API key for all projects that use Google Maps. See https://cloud.google.com/maps-platform/user-guide/ for more details. How can I do this for a free template from wordpress.com, please?

  When we need Staff help with issues Volunteers cannot resolve like this one we type modlook into the sidebar tags on our forum threads. I did that for you. How do I get a Moderator/Staff reply for my question? https://en.support.wordpress.com/getting-help-in-the-forums/#how-do-i-get-a-moderatorstaff-reply-for-my-question

  Hi there,

  You get the API key from Google, so if they now require billing information to get this, you need to sort that out directly with them.

  All we offer is a way to embed the map. We have no control over Google’s requirements for providing an API key to do that.
