maps.google.com refused to connect
26/05/2021
Suddenly seeing a lot of sites with an error message “maps.google.com refused to connect“. where the Google map should be.
I know Google changed a few things recently to get people using an API when using Google Maps.
Have they tweaked the Google maps settings even more?
Google Maps cannot be displayed in a frame
On other sites I am seeing similar but with the error message This content cannot be displayed in a frame where the Google Map should be.
Elementor Google Maps Widget stopped working?
A couple of WordPress sites appear to use the Elementor Google Maps Widget does this need updating and do you need a Google API to use the Elementor Google Maps Widget.
Has this happened to your site? – Let me know in the comments below.

Ya! Stopped working here on 30+ websites.
Hi Tarcisio,
are all the sites using the Elementor Google Maps Widget, some other kind of plugin or are they just manually embedded on the sites?
Yup, Awaiting a fix, meanwhile going to have to insert an image. Bummer
Thank you for update!!!
Elementor are aware of the problem and working on a fix – See Elementor Website Builder Plugin Support
The same problem in my site.
Me too. They say they just released Elementor v3.2.4 which should fix the issue, but I still could not find it.
It looks like they have fixed it but you need to update to Elementor v3.2.4
YS
From the plugin update page it has
“3.2.4 – 2021-05-26
Tweak: Changed Google Maps widget to use API v3 instead of deprecated v2 (#15090)
Tweak: Updated Google Fonts list to 05/2021 (#14732, #14536, #13595)
Tweak: Changed “Missing Header” text for Compatibility tags in System info screen
Fix: Google Maps widget is not loading due to API deprecation (#15090)
Fix: Disable Lightbox user preference does not affect the Basic Gallery widget (#12913)
Fix: Hardened Lightbox capabilities to enforce better security policies”
It’s still saying it is version 3.2.3 when trying to update though
Either a mistake or they are still working on it
Did you install the update?
I tried looking for the update, but it hasn’t display yet. Still waiting for it.
Hey Guys, It seems that they release an update “ver 3.2.4”. what happens to those who are using elementor ver 2.x on older version of wordpress???
I’m having the same problem. The maps aren’t appearing.
