Since the most recent salient update, we have been experiencing an issue with the google map element not displaying correctly. Please let us know if the issue is something on our end that is easily fixable. Before the most recent salient update we have not experienced this issue. "Oops something went wrong. This page is nt displaying google maps correctly. Please refer to javascript console for details." Checked javascript console and it has 2 messages about API key. Thank you for your time.
If you’re on a current version of Salient you can add the key into the map.js file in the js folder. The line to mod should be near line 589 of the file -
Salient 7.5.01 is now available for Download on the Themeforest Download Page , Visual Composer has also been Updated to Version 4.12.
If you're upgrading from Salient VC 4.9.2, you'll need to delete the plugin from your plugins section in the WordPress admin panel before installing the current version (4.12) in Appearance > Install Plugins - This is necessary due to a bug in the Salient VC 4.9.2 which prevents regular updating.
Salient 7.5.xx has a new Google Maps API Key Option Field in Salient Theme Options Panel -> General Settings where you can add the API KEy : http://prntscr.com/c2n1p5 . Therefore manually changing the line in map.js is no longer needed.
In order to use Google maps you need to generate an API key and enter it here - please see the official documentation for more information and steps to troubleshoot .

Hey ,
The issue only applies to new domains where the maps script hasn’t been prior to June 22 of this year. This article explains it: https://www.latecnosfera.com/2016/06/google-maps-api-error-missing-keymap-error-solved.html
If you’re on a current version of Salient you can add the key into the map.js file in the js folder. The line to mod should be near line 589 of the file -
$.getScript('https://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false&callback=mapAPI_Loaded');will become
$.getScript('https://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false&key=APIKEYHERE&callback=mapAPI_Loaded');Cheers

Thanks for the info, it worked!
Dear Support Team,
this hack didn't work out for me. I still get the error message after deploying the new map.js.
Do you have any indication when the theme update will handle the maps key?
Thanks
Marc

I have a fresh install of 7.5.02 and I'm getting the same error. I have tried the fix below and still get the same outcome.
Same issue:

Map at the bottom of the page.
I've tried modifying the script but still getting the same error.
Any advice please
Dear Tahir,
same problem reamins.
Have updated the salient options with the mapkey and also allowed the url to be a referrer within google api settings.
Still the same problem.
Happy for any hint to a solution,
Cheers
Thanks @Tahir
Followed the steps you explained about the google API and it worked perfectly for me !
