I'm hoping someone has e across this problem also. I'm a newbie to all this, therefore excuse my lack of knowledge in advance.

I currently have Google Maps API setup on my wordpress site. When I perform a search on the site i.e. page containing Google Map, no listing results are been found. Upon further investigation I have been advised that:

there's a JS error on my website ing from Maps API. Chrome Dev Console shows:

js?key=++AIzaSyC_GzbCPmMM8Jme9ZAi-IbKOdaXo_SfK_I+&libraries=places&ver=3b47f53……:34 InvalidValueError: setComponentRestrictions: not an Object

in source view of the page the google maps JS is called via this =++AIzaSyC_GzbCPmMM8Jme9ZAi-IbKOdaXo_SfK_I+&libraries=places&ver=3b47f534942a304aaad0d1a98d2531f8

the part "&ver=3b47f534942a304aaad0d1a98d2531f8" shouldn't be there (it's added to each JS file), so we assume it must be ing from some plugin that I have that might be causing that issue.

Before I start disabling every plugin on my wordpress site, has anyone e across this error before?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Justin

OK - so apparently this was a bug introduced in the 3.27 release of Google Maps.

https://code.google./p/gmaps-api-issues/issues/detail?id=11253&q=setComponentRestrictions&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Introduced%20Fixed%20Summary%20Stars%20ApiType%20Internal

The Google team has it logged and is working on it.

In the meantime you can do as follows:

Thanks for the report! We have created an internal ticket to investigate this. On the meantime, you can load JavaScript API version 3.26 to avoid getting this error.

UPDATE: It does not look like they plan on fixing this. So the correct fix would be to change your settings to:

autoplete.setComponentRestrictions({'country': []});

I have the same problem, but I have changed to the version 3 and it has worked. Obviously, that it isn't the best way to correct it, but I can use this solution up to somebody publishes the correct fix.

Before http://maps.googleapis./maps/api/js?key=[MyKey]&libraries=places

After http://maps.googleapis./maps/api/js?key=[MyKey]&libraries=places&v=3

I just started noticing a similar error as well, InvalidValueError: setComponentRestrictions: in property country: not a string; and not an Array. It turns out I was passing an empty object, {}, as the ponentRestrictions option when trying to initialize a Place Autoplete.

It looks like that ponentRestrictions option is used by the Google Maps API, you can read more about it here. I am assuming that Google recently made a change that throws an exception if it is configured wrong.

So in your particular case I imagine either you, or one of your plugins, is not setting ponentRestrictions correctly.

Upgrade Google Maps to Version 3.28.
