Cici, in the Results listing under the map, showing our locations, I need to be able to show the categories associated with that location. I haven’t been able to find a shortcode for the categories. Is that possible?

Well we bought the new SLP plugin, but it didn’t save my settings, which is frustrating. Anyway, I guess we solved the problem of updating for now.
Hi Cici
I just hit this same problem, actually my client ran automatic updates including the base SLP and now I can’t activate Power and Experience. When I go to my account I only see downloads for Power and Experience but not the SLP plugin itself. Where can I get the newest version of SLP through my account? Do I have to buy that for $25 now? in the past that was never the case.
Thanks @Cici. Radio buttons won’t work the same as checkboxes… they are also exclusive (you can’t check more than one radio button), so it’s not really different than a drop-down. Even as a drop-down, it was working sometimes with the tags and categories together, just that sometimes it didn’t and I couldn’t figure out why. We do have the Experience add-on, but not the Premier.
In the end, I’ll talk this over with the clients and test it with the real data, so far I am just running tests… checkboxes are the preferred solution, then we would not need to fuss with Tags at all- all the age ranges, and specialties could be Categories and they could be additive to filter further down.
I’d be happy to change the output of the category list if you can point me to the file that has that- I haven’t been able to find the category HTML output in the plugin files.
Thanks
Mick (Amanda is the client)
@Cici- I don’t need a hierarchy of parent/child relationships, just additive categories so they are not exclusive. If the categories are output to checkboxes instead of a drop-down, as I have seen with other store locator plugins, then you could check off whichever combination you wanted, like “Pediatric” and “Neurologist”, or just “Pediatric”, or “Pediatric” and “Neurologist” and “Neurosurgeon”, etc. As it is, you can only select one category so we will have to create a long list of all the combinations.
Sorry, I thought I had pasted the URL before… http://www.hydroassoc.org/physicians-directory-test/ password is ‘slp’.
The problem for my client is they need to filter by more than one criterion, and you have only a drop-down (no checkbox selector for example). So they would have to create categories for all the combinations of selectors. A checkbox would be very nice, and I believe other people have asked for that but I don’t know what the progress on that is. So I was trying to use Tags and Categories to create a kind of hacked way of having two selectors.
@Cici-
I never got that error, the site URL never changed, and in fact certain searches work fine, so I don’t think it’s the Google API key. That page was a ‘draft’ so that may have affected your view of it. I’ve changed the page to public now, so you can see. I don’t see any errors when I check the console.
Basically the same problem exists, I’ve updated everything (environment below). To recap: I have a location that is Categorized both as Neurologist, and Neurosurgeon, and tagged as Pediatric. When I search for Pediatric Neurolosurgeon, she comes up fine, when I search Pediatric and Neurologist she does not.

</div>I have the same or similar problem… I have test location where I have assigned 2 categories (Neurologist, Neurosurgeon) and a Tag (Pediatric). When I put in a zip code near her, and select Pediatric and Neurosurgeon, she comes up as a location. When I change to Neurologist, she does not, even though she is categorized as both. I have upgraded to Power 4.7.10.
Here is her Location entry with Tags and Categories: https://www.screencast.com/t/3xz9ToRPTH5D
