  Hi! I usually embed google maps into my blog comerfuera.net
  But this time I am getting this message instead of the map: The Google Maps API server rejected your request. Invalid request. Invalid ‘pb’ parameter.

  Here`s what I pasted into the post: <iframe src=”https://www.google.com/maps/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d2667.796674583085!2d2.665285999999947!3d39.56179100747026!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x129793b659ced411%3A0x2cedaf98f6b351eb!2sBite+Restaurant+%26+Lounge!5e1!3m2!1ses!2ses!4v1426529831285″ width=”600″ height=”450″ frameborder=”0″ style=”border:0″></iframe>

  And here’s what I got after saving it (it’s still a draft):
  [googlemaps https://www.google.com/maps/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d2671.3897782590852!2d2.6652859999999983!3d39.561791000000014!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x129793b659ced411%3A0x2cedaf98f6b351eb!2sBite+Restaurant+%26+Lounge!5e1!3m2!1ses!2ses!4v1426530161797&w=600&h=450%5D

  What has changed? I think I am doing it as always
  Thanks!

  Hello there!

  It sounds as if you may have the same problem seen here:
  https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/embedding-google-maps-2?replies=6

  Could you please adjust the address accordingly? If it doesn’t work for you, please provide the business name and address of the map you’re trying to embed, and I can troubleshoot further.

  Thanks so much!

  Hi! Thanks for your quick reply. I finally managed to fix it by searching the business adress, instead of it’s name. I don’t know what difference there is, but anyway, it’s working now.

  Thank you very much Thatrobyn.

  Elena,

  Fabulous. Glad that worked. Google Maps can be finicky in that way. So happy the solution was a success for you :)

  Take care.
