Certamente, ecco una guida dettagliata sui passaggi per attivare l’API di Google Maps tramite Google Cloud Console e come inserirla sul proprio sito web WordPress.

1. Creating a Google Cloud Console account

In order to activate the Google Maps API, you need to create an account on Google Cloud Console. To do this, go to the Google Cloud Console website and follow the instructions for creating an account. If you already have a Google account, you can use your login credentials to access Google Cloud Console.

2. Creating a new project

Once you are logged into Google Cloud Console, create a new project. Select 'New Project' from the 'Current Project' drop-down menu at the top of the window, give your project a name, and select your billing account.

3. Enabling the API

Once the project has been created, select 'API and Services' from the main menu and then 'Dashboard'. Click on 'Enable APIs and Services' and search for 'Google Maps' in the search bar. Enable the following APIs:

• Geocoding API
• Directions API

4. Creating an API key

You now need to create an API key to make Google Maps work on your website. Go back to the API dashboard and select "Credentials". Click on "Create credentials" and then on "API key".

5. Entering the API key on the WordPress website

After you have created your API key, you need to put it on your WordPress website to make Google Maps work. There are several ways to do this, but the easiest way is to use a plugin such as 'Google Maps Widget' or 'WP Google Maps'.
