didn’t do anything apparently
by Solutions Redefined·1 year ago
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.

We’ve had an issue with a particular theme having something wrong with their theme settings, which resulted in the section for the API key missing. I installed this plugin and it did the job.
Super easy and quick!
