Random location not inputted in back end showing on map

[matt18]

A client site has been utilizing the Store Location Plus plugin for several years and they recently noticed a random marker popping up on the map. The location is in the middle of the United States where as all locations input in the back end are located in Southern California.

I set all back end locations to private to try to track down which coordinates were causing this, but the single location remained. Any ideas how to solve this?

Screenshot of my plugin environment attached. The map is on this page: https://www.goodwillsocal.org/shop/goodwill-locator/

Thanks!

If the marker is in the middle of the United States it is most likely  where Google thinks the center of the map should be and is returning the “Home marker”.

Check:

1) What is the setting under MAP/Center Map ? First box under AT STARTUP:

aif you have not designated a center map at or it is showing United States , i Google assumes the middle of the Untied states , usually in Kansas.
To change this Set ting:  Ttpe in the box  a location ,or a state, or a city, . I would select  somewhere in the area where your locations are in Southern California.

2) Otherwise if you want the center map in Kansas:   Reset the Home map marker: You can select the Blank marker  (usually the second one in under the map marker icons or delete the home marker url altogether.  Depending on any add-ons they have there are also additional shortcodes

See documentation for Map panel settings

How radius works and other information.

Hi Matt, I just revisited your site, Looks good, are you all set? Looks like the center map at is now in SOCAL. No more Dorothy’ lingering around in Kansas
