    Hello, thanks for the great theme, I am excited about it, but there are some things that I am not able to configure as the icons of the categories (Where do I find them?) And the maps. I have already installed the plugin they recommend, I have signed up for google maps, but only the home map is visible, the others are not. Thanks for the help.

    Hello 

    Welcome to your support management and thank you for choosing our theme!
    Thanks for writing in.

    [1] The category icons were added FindAll Listing > Categories:

    You can add them as an image, or as it is in our case - an SVG Icon.

    [2] Have you inserted the Google API Key in the

    To generate a Google API key you should first login to your Google account (gmail). After this, you should visit the Google Cloud Platform.

    After you’ve accepted the terms of use, you’ll get access to your dashboard:

    api-key-1.png

    Now that you have the access to the dashboard, you should create a new project using the option located in the top menu:

    You can find more info on this here.

    After you add the project, you should select the said project in order to see all the available options in your dashboard:

    Now you should scroll down to the Google Maps option and select Overview:

    This will present you with a page which lists all the APIs and the services available:

    You should select and create an API which fits your needs the best. For the purposes of this guide, we’ll choose the Maps JavaScript API. After you click on an API you should Enable it:

    The next step requires setting up your credentials:

    Now that your API key has been generated, pick the Restrict Key option:

    Screenshot_20.png

    After doing so, you should click the Save button.

    At this stage you are required to name the API. It doesn’t make any difference which name you decide to use.

    Optionally, you can introduce additional restrictions for domains and limit the use of this API key to some of them. This is something you should consider doing, as someone might take your API and reuse it.

    If you decide to use this restriction option, you’ll want to open your site like this.

    This will add a list containing all the website page from your web location. You should not input subdomains or www.

    Keep in mind that the Google maps services are being used in commercial purposes for a while now, and all the traffic requires paying. You can learn more about this here.

    In case you need to activate the Google Geocoding service, you can find more about them by following this link.

    If you are using a listing theme it’s of crucial importance to activate the Places API:

    If you still continue to experience issues with the Google Maps after this, please, provide us with a login URL and temporary wp-admin credentials (in a private reply) so that we can investigate them further.

    Let us know if this was helpful.

    Kind regards,
    Ralph Wizard

    Thanks, I set up wrong when restricting the api key, I did it directly to the key and I didn't generate a name. Thank you.
