  I thought I was writing WordPress’s direct support– Does anybody know why this message suddenly comes up instead of the google map in the “Lovecraft” theme?

  Hi there,

  Google made some changes recently to how Google Maps work and now they require each site embedding a map to have its own API key.

  If you look at the contact widget’s support page you’ll find more information, along with a link to Google’s instructions for getting your own API key. Once you add that the map should work again.
