As you are here, I understand that you are looking for the best and easiest way to add Google Map in Divi theme website. Am I correct?

Google Maps can be included in the Divi theme using two methods – With and without an API key. I’ll explain both the methods in detail.

Let’s get into the details! 

How To Insert A Map Into Divi? (Using API key)

Step 1: Go to the WordPress Dashboard section. If Divi theme is already installed, you can directly navigate to Divi. Other Buy through Divi Discount and save your money.

If not, download it before proceeding with this method. Then click Theme Options section. If scroll down, you can find the section Google API Key.

A Question mark symbol would have been provided beside the API key. Click on that Question Mark. The popup will give an insight into how the Google API key can be obtained. Click on the link provided.

The link will redirect you to the Elegant Themes official documentation area. Here, another link, that is, Google Developers Console Link, is provided. Click on that.

It will be redirected to Google Cloud Platform area. You must follow three steps to get a new API key there.

The next step is adding the Google Map. You can embed Google Map in any existing page or a new page. This method has been further proceeded by creating a new page for your convenience.

Click Add New page. Give a suitable title, then click Use Divi Builder button.

Now, three options will be displayed. From that, choose Build From Scratch. After that, choose single column. Then search for the Map module and add it.

Now go to Map Settings. Under Map Center Address, the correct address should be given in that field. That’s all.

Note: This method isn’t working for me as well as for many people worldwide. Yes, I have heard several complaints like “Divi Google maps not working,”

Divi Map not showing,” etc. 

So I use the alternate method, adding Google Map without API Key. You may continue with this method if it works for you.

Step 4: Paste the copied code in that module. After pasting the code, find ‘Width’ and give it as 100%. Save all the changes and visit your website. The map would have been added successfully.
