didn’t do anything apparently

followed the easy instructions and checked on the mapfix.dev page and says it can’t find api key or api calls but there is no help to fix it, so not sure what this plugin is supposed to do.

Super easy to use

Super easy to use – works right out of the box, and a ton of good looking map themes to choose from. If anything, there are too many – but you can sort by popularity etc. and search. It’s a great, sim
