Hi,

We are aware that we need to improve this. The portfolio was added in a later update and was not part of the initial theme, which is why there are no portfolio pages included. We are working hard to make portfolio pages part of the new demo with the next update. In the meantime, here is an in-depth tutorial on how to set it up and use it. You can build the single portfolio pages using the page builder.

Let me know if any questions come up.

Best regards,

Hi,
For the Google Maps widget to work, it needs Google API access. You do not need to pay for the normal Google Maps API ussage, because Google gives enaugh monthly credits for normal usage. They only charge for extreme API usage cases (think Wolt or Airbnb). It just needs to be set properly on the Google Cloud Console. 

When I open your contact site, I can see the following issue in the developer tools:

Which means:
The current URL loading the Maps JavaScript API has not been added to the list of allowed referrers. Please check the referrer settings of your API key in the Cloud Console. And add your url https://www.alm-group.com.au/contact/ to the list. You can also use wildcards, so it will work anywhere on your domain, not only this exact url.

You can start here: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/get-api-key#restrict_key and click on the blue button...

Let me know how it goes,

Andrej

The provider of Google Maps API is Google, not us.

We don't have any influence over their terms or registration procedure for a Google API key and also not on the fact that they demand your credit card details which they later don't charge anyway as enaugh of free usage is provided. 

You can use any other google maps widget, if you don't like the one provided by SiteOrigin. You can see alternatives here: https://wordpress.org/plugins/search/google+maps+widget+shortcode/

I am sorry that you dislike the theme, if you want a refund, please fill out the form here: https://help.market.envato.com/hc/en-us/articles/202821460-Can-I-Get-A-Refund

Hi,
The reason seems to be a blocked cross-origin response. This is displayed in console:

According to this, your site prevents the Maps API data from loading. If you use any plugins which enforce such restrictive rules, you can try disable them temporarily, to see if the issue resolves, then set the plugin to allow COR requests. It is also possible that your server is set this way. If this is the case, you might want to try override those settings in the .htaccess file, by copying the following code snippet:

Depending if you use Apachi or Nginx:

Code snippet for Apache server:

<IfModule mod_headers.c>
    Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*"
    Header set Access-Control-Allow-Methods "GET, OPTIONS"
    Header set Access-Control-Allow-Headers "Content-Type"
</IfModule>

Code snippet for Nginx server:

server {
    location / {
        add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' '*';
        add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Methods' 'GET, OPTIONS';
        add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Headers' 'Content-Type';
    }
}

Kind regards,

Andrej

Hi,

You can try a plugin like this one: https://wordpress.org/plugins/enable-cors/
You might also need to ask your hosting provider for assistance, if this doesn't resolve the issue.

The mod_headers.c must be enabled on the server for this to work.

<IfModule mod_headers.c>
    Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*"
    Header set Access-Control-Allow-Methods "GET, OPTIONS"
    Header set Access-Control-Allow-Headers "Content-Type"
</IfModule>

Hi,

You can see more info on the issue with Chrome Development tools under the network tab:

The 403 Forbidden status code indicates that there is an issue with the API key authorization. Here are the steps to resolve this issue:

Step 1: Verify API Key Restrictions
Ensure that your API key is correctly set up with the required restrictions.

Open Google Cloud Console:

Go to the Google Cloud Console.
Navigate to API & Services > Credentials:

Find the API key you are using and click on it to edit.
API Restrictions:

Under "API restrictions", ensure that "Maps Static API" is enabled.

HTTP Referrer Restrictions:

If you have set up HTTP referrer restrictions, make sure your website's URL is included.
Under "Application restrictions", select "HTTP referrers (web sites)".
Add your domain ( https://alm-group.com.au/* ) .

Step 2: Enable the Necessary APIs
Ensure that the "Maps Static API" and any other related APIs are enabled.

Go to API & Services > Library:
Search for "Maps Static API".
Ensure that the Maps Static API is enabled.

Step 3: Check Billing Status
Ensure that your Google Cloud project has an active billing account. Google Maps API services require an active billing account even for free usage.

Step 4: Regenerate API Key
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, try regenerating a new API key:

Go to API & Services > Credentials:

Create a new API key.
Apply the necessary restrictions as described in Step 1.
Update the API key in the Google maps widget - Replace the old API key with the new one in the google maps widget settings.

Step 5: Verify API Usage
Check if there are any quota issues or limitations on your API usage.

Go to API & Services > Dashboard:
Monitor your API usage.
Ensure you are not exceeding your quota limits.

I hope this helps to resolve the issue.
