I’ve set GIPHY up on [one of my sites](https://beta.buildcivitas.com/latest) and I haven’t used the “Upgrade to Production” button. I do recall having a false start setting it up, but I don’t recall the details at the moment.

The API key is easy enough to find on [the GIPHY dashboard](https://developers.giphy.com/dashboard/). Make sure it matches `giphy api key` in the discourse-gifs theme component settings, I guess? The only other non-defaults I have set are:

- `giphy content rating` = “pg”
- `limit infinite search results` = true

Of course I also made sure the component is enabled on the default theme.

Not sure this helps you, though. :-/
