Troubleshooting Guide - 403/404 Errors Fixed

✅ Issues Resolved

1. Missing Pages (404 Errors)

Problem: Footer links to /privacy, /terms, and /sitemap were returning 404 errors.

Solution: ✅ FIXED - Created the missing pages:

  • src/app/privacy/page.tsx - Privacy Policy page
  • src/app/terms/page.tsx - Terms of Service page
  • Sitemap is automatically generated at /sitemap.xml

2. Google Maps API 403 Errors

Problem: Google Maps iframe on contact page showing "This API project is not authorized to use this API"

Solution:

  • ✅ Contact page already has fallback when no API key is present
  • To enable Google Maps, add your API key to environment variables:
# Add to your .env.local file
NEXT_PUBLIC_MAPS_PLATFORM_API_KEY=your-google-maps-api-key-here

To get a Google Maps API key:

  1. Go to Google Cloud Console
  2. Create a project or select existing one
  3. Enable "Maps Embed API"
  4. Create credentials → API Key
  5. Restrict the key to your domain for security
  6. Add the key to your environment variables

🚀 Current Status

✅ Working Pages

  • /privacy - Privacy Policy ✅
  • /terms - Terms of Service ✅
