<p><b>Hello SLP Team/Community,</b></p>

<p>I have run into the “Store Locator Plus did not initialize properly” error on our newly built website page. We are migrating from a legacy domain to a new brand domain and the map container is failing to load.</p>

<p><b>Current Setup:</b></p>

  • <b>CMS:</b> WordPress 6.9.4 / Elementor Pro 4.0.4
  • <b>Plugin Version:</b> Store Locator Plus® Version 2602.27.01
  • <b>Hosting:</b> SiteGround

<p><b>What I have verified so far:</b></p>

  1. <b>API Keys:</b> Both the Google Geocoding and Browser keys have been verified. In the Google Cloud Console, the geocoding key is unrestricted and the browser key is restricted to the new domain.
  2. <b>Enabled APIs:</b> Maps JavaScript API, Geocoding API, and Places API are all active with billing enabled.
  3. <b>Shortcode:</b> I am using [slplus] inside an Elementor <b>Shortcode Widget</b>.
  4. <b>Styles:</b> I have re-saved the “Default” style in the <b>Style</b> tab, but the map remains blank on the frontend.

<p><b>Observed Symptoms:</b></p>

  • The search interface (input boxes and search button) renders correctly.
  • The map container appears but displays the “did not initialize properly” message.

<p>Any insights into getting the map engine to fire correctly on this new domain would be greatly appreciated.</p>

<p><b>Thank you!</b></p>
