I need help understanding how to refresh cache for a place id

902 Views Asked by At

I have installed a Everest GPlaces Business Reviews and have found the place id that is required to be added. But it comes back Saying:

The provided Place ID is no longer valid. Please refresh cached Place IDs as per https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/places/web-service/place-id#save-id

I have read this but I have no idea where to add a field they talk about and am totally stuck. All the reviews plugins have this place id and I don't know what to do from here.

Hoping for some help with what to do. In basic language. Thanks in advance

I'm no expert; I ran into this problem myself and to my knowledge it seems like reviews can't be pulled easily with most plugins, if the GMB is set up as anything other than a location with a physical address.

Instead of the Places API you'd want to use the My Business API... although if you are using a plugin (and don't want to add a physical location to your GMB) you're stuck.
