Hi!
Since the last update (SLP 4.9.18, experience and power 4.9.17) the location sensor initially shows the correct locations (on the map and listing) for a few seconds but then automatically zooms out and shows all locations.
Wordpress, theme and all plugins are up-to-date.
Could you please help me out?
Cheers,
MaikelI need your site url. Or you can check using any Browser developer tools, inspect Console, do you have any errors/ Do you have Google APi keys?
Are your settings on “do not auto zoomn”?There isnt enough information here to be able to pinpoint your issue. I have noticed that you have posted in forums in the past, each time we have asked for your site url so that we could assist you but you have not provided us the info.
I can only steer you to the Troubleshooting section in the documentation under the circumstances.
The key without the referrer is the Browser key. Enter it under general/Server/ Google BROWSER KEY
If you added an HTTP referrer restriction then you need two keys, as explained in the documentation.
The Browser key is used to display the map and handle user-input addresses during a location search. The Geocoding key is used on your WordPress server to geocode locations you’ve entered via the Google API. You do not need the geocoding key unless you have added referrer restrictions.
You may have a different issue, using developers console that site is returning this:error concerning your SSL. For location sensor to work you need a valid SSL cert.
Failed to load resource: net::ERR_SSL_VERSION_INTERFERENCE
I am guessing after looking at your Page the Google API key is not your particular issue, at least not yet, you r site is still displaying and up and running,,,,the bigger issue is the SSL cert. Google is getting very strict on that , as is many other browsers
When I visit your site, the zoom is appearing to work correctly. Double check your settings especially if you did a manual update instead of an auto update.
Manual updates can lose some settings, as explained in Lances news artice

There is a fix for the zoom issue that is coming out in Power 4.9.19, this will be avilable within the next couple of days, check your Plugin for auto update or check the versions available next time you log into your WP site
Try the Power patch in 4.9.19, see news feed

Im sorry, we thought it was zoom and had an update in 4.9.19, but someone mentioned it still persisted, got the developer to delve in deeper and it was a bug it was fixed in Power 4.9.20 (red face)
Sorry. there have been so many changes with Google APIs lately and so many people not adding the geocoder API..it has been the go to answer.
Please accept my apologies…
Google algorithms are getting more and more restrictive or invasive, don’t know which. Now even their own commercial “Proprietary” maps that run on their own Algorithms will not let you search by zip code and return correct zip codes if you have never searched there before. They are telling you to “add a place” (maybe they want o sell more of their PLACE APIs which of course charges you an even higher rate per use) or they return a street address for options to choose from and they say “Add more info like the text zip code” We can only tell our customers to add labels in search forms or as responses to add more defining info, like state etc instead just a number.
we have added features to Premier to counter act this, such as show Google guesses but there are only so many ways to try and circumvent their algortihms.
Thanks for understanding and for your patience
