I cannot see what you mean, that link goes to a suspended account. Are you referring to the home marker? Under MAP. You can actually select the home marker to be blank it is usually the second icon under map marker.
Ok, you may be able to add a line in the results layout for category and/or add the attribute as a div in css . (If you have not enabled the Experience add-on you will want to do that so you can change the layout and/or add CSS. )
I know that you can have tags show within the results layout.
I know you can have the category icon appear in the results .
there is a checkbox under Settings/Results Appearance section that is “show category icons” . if you check that off the category icon will appear within your results . On my site I have checked off to show the category icon but I have also added tags . , Tags are text and can be imported as well as work with categories.

You are not using the category selector on that site?
I was able to see your site store url it took a while to load.
You are referring to the results layout and specifically this results element on your site is not correct: <span class=”slp_result_address slp_result_citystatezip”>Mülheim45481</span>
and it should be this to display correctly
<span class=”slp_result_address slp_result_citystatezip”> [slp_location city_state_zip]</span>
which Plug In style or locator style under Settings/view are you using? I will look at it in the admin area on my site to see if it is copying correctly on my site. On our test site , I have selected the Alphaville gallery style and it is displaying properly on the front end Your theme may be overriding the layout setting I do not know, you will need to investigate a little on your end.
These documents explains how to check the styling elements and results layout on your site.

i looked at the url but I do not see a map or store locator,
Could you provide us with your Plugin environment. There was a fix for spaces in zip itself so it could be similar situation but I need your plugin environment before bringing it to developer
See what is meant by plugin environment, screenshot of the Info plugin environment can be found under SLP/Info tab
hmm, ill have to test it, I do not use pages feature. of course with WP updates anything is possible.
i will ask developer about this when he has a few. it might be something simple like reactivating or enabling. i know seo pages are draft until you publish .
oh i see your site you have the legend, you want the icon or name of category to show next to marker as map bubble or in results boxes themselves?
you can add css rule for either. not sure off the top of my head what the exact data field name is.
you can add a legend, to display the icons or markers with the category label. there are some locator styles under view that include it and you can check off the category legend under settings/view. it is further down just above the css box under the styles under vierw
https://docs.storelocatorplus.com/blog/store-and-category-manager/
is that what you are referring to?
ok, no prob
Could you let me know if you are trying to add the markers individually the way i described it? I am talking to the developer to see if he can patch it so that you can choose to change the marker on a per location basis
I cant see what you are showing me with that screenshot inserted and without knowing your site url
The results layout is determined by a combination of your theme settings and the Plugin style (locator style) you have selected
https://docs.storelocatorplus.com/blog/results-layout-shortcodes-and-attributes/
It does not matter if the site or location is in germany, Australia or the USA. You can change the layout of the results if that is what you are asking. I.E if you are saying the order of the results format should show the postal code after the city in the second place or second row and before the state or country as opposed to at the very end of the address. I cant advise you for your specifics since you did not provide us with the site url or what you are using for plugin or add-ons.
The order of the results can be changed in the results layout or with CSS added with the experience add-on.

Are you trying to add different markers per edit or when you add a new individual locations? That field in the ind location section for map marker is not allowed.
You need to select the marker under Map settings for either home or location marker. The only time you can override markers would be for a category. example, you want category icon or marker to be shown instead of a location marker.
Not sure i am understanding your issue. I just updated my test site to the versions including WP 5.1 I went to Settings/Map, changed home marker to one that is incl in the plugin and saved, went to the location marker, and used media image and saved. Both are displaying correctly.

https://docs.storelocatorplus.com/blog/using-custom-map-markers/
Not sure what you mean by retrieve category,. If you mean to display on a page yes: “only_with_category =”xx” would display the category or categories (separated by a comma if more then one)
For more extended attributes that can be used with shortcodes see

I think Lance meant whether it was installed in a subdirectory, the old WP codex do not refer to the REST API, and that is the methodology in use for quite a while now. Some customers had setup wordpress in a subdirectory and there were 404 errors .
As far as the IP address, if you had the request going thru a proxy server that could have something to do with your issue for sure.
Are you all set now with the latest updates ?
If you choose to have a search box it is better to guide the site visitor rather then restrict them, enter under Settings/Search..under Labels there is a section to add the label for radius, address, address placeholder etc. In my placeholder I have “Enter address or zip code.” It would not restrict them to those alternatives if they wanted to type in a City for instance.
You can also have a Search form title.
You can further fine tune the search form with CSS, the search layout is also determined by the plugin style you have selected.
Without restricting , normally a search is by address but a city, state or other name typed in a search box will work unless you are using a Do not allow selector and address for example.
The technical detail of how search works, at least how the basic search always worked before there have been additional features added for premier such as what you are using for category selectors..info and tech details how search works , can be found here
You are using a Plugin style that has the “include tagalong legend” as part of the CSS. Choose a different plugin (locator) style .
Under Settings/view, there is an inside scroll box with various styles available to select from.
https://docs.storelocatorplus.com/blog/selecting-and-customizing-your-style/
I would suggest trying a default style
Under Search settings the “allow and selector behavior is either off or on:
In other words either Allow both address search and selector category or tag) or “disable address when using selector. “, which is great if you have location sensor on and only want to show people specific locations and categories near them.
You added instructions to the search form to indicate they must use both I see you have done, but there is a limit to making people follow directions. It is better to give them too many options, What I did notice though is your locations , if no category is checked, do not indicate what type of provider they are. You can differentiate by using different category icons/markers, and add t the icon/marker to the category legend. At least this way, if someone searches without using a category (maybe they want to see all) they can tell that CS auto is a trailer dealer or docks or cargo (or whatever they are, I cant tell the way you have the markers at this time)
Here is info on setting icons or markers depending on type of location, there is a tutorial video as well.
How is it supposed to appear? You have a search box with no label nor instructions telling me (a site visitor) how yo use the search form.
There is an empty box, and below it are category checkboxes. Am I supposed to search using a name or a zip code or a category?
You do not have the same issue, your site is not working correctly because you have errors regarding your google MAPS API keys.
To obtain support you must start a new Post and provide your plugin environment per the posting guidelines. This support post will be closed since William is reporting issue resolved
There was a patch in WPSLP to 5.0.4
There was a geocoder region issue. Please update to WPSLP 5.0.4 and check back to see if you now get correct results.
Hmmmmmm,,,, it shouldnt have if the issue was the redirect. There was a different issue fixed, the region lookup for geocoder was patched. Perhaps that was the issue with your site. Anyhow, gkad it is working for you. if you have any issues with htaccess in the futre, we did have some customers add the route redirect and posted in the forums. Thanks for your patience.
Thanks for your patience. I had a meeting this morning with the developer and explained the issue of the ifset_option. Quick answer, it is missing. He needs to work some javascript coding magic. He explained to me what was happening ( a teaching moment) and came to the conclusion the results ifset_option for the results is called later in the process and for some reason it is not getting through as a replace shortcode. Why it works in Maps and not results, apparently the Map info bubble instructions (shortcode) was written a long time after the initial plugin (with the results layout) ., so no idea if the results ifset_option for fax ever worked in results.
he needs to get into the weeds a bit on this one. It is above my skill set, I just try to break things and troubleshoot, and report back to the man behind the curtain.
🙂
I will get back to you as soon as I hear more.
Others have used the route rule with Apache and no issues reported. My search also showed the resolution in WP stack exchange. The REST API configuration appears to have been n issue for a while on some sites .It is not an issue with SLP — it is an issue with WordPress and web server configuration. And not users fault because WordPress had not updated their own documentation when they started using the REST API so sites were being set-up the old way with the old subdirectory instructions as Lance mentioned.
If you have concerns, You might want to do some research to see if it is an issue for some of your other plugins. If your configuration is corrected and if other plugins are not using a hacked configuration they should be ok.
You can post the question in the WP Stackexchange
FYI link
That solution seems to appear also in WP Stack exchange. Since it isnt SLP specific we can provide the info under our Helpful hints in docs, but since Lance has all our sites using Nginx and not Apache configuration , we cannot verify nor deny any solution when it comes to Apache and WP.
🙁
If you comment on the Lance bio or his article above link we will be sure to include your solution and kudos for finding the solution. Thank you!
There is a scroll to map feature with Premier, But yes it does not have an inner scroll bar in a box for results. This page has a video from the developer that shows some of the CSS and class. actions and the scroll to map. which puts the map in view after a location has been selected. It might give you some ideas if you are proficient at CSS. But I have not found any that are built in for scrolling th results in a frame
https://docs.storelocatorplus.com/blog/scroll-to-map/
I have asked the developer if he recalls having had a scroll results within the frame in past styles . You can see a list of older plugin styles using the Janitor add-on and scroll down to the part called _theme_details , array
(That may jog your memory as to what you were using before if you think it was a feature in SLP and not par of your theme). Customers often save or copied stheir CSS, ex. ” my ithemes css file to the /store-locator-le/css/ ” in a folder. (I found others saved CSS archives and directory of the old plugin styles by searching using my browser. )
As far as the ifset fax option, I do not see that as an option for results, only under Bubble.
In your case Is a label showing up at all for FAX on any of your locations that have a fax number? I have been changing my plugin style to see if the label shows up when I have added a fax number to my locations, and no label so far . I have confused myself and my test site so I best stop So far no luck. Waiting to hear back from developer when he has time away from his current project. Sorry for the confusion
It looks like you have a subdirectory, I see this when it is trying to geocode.
So you have two issues, 1) Subdirectory , read Lances article about the REST API and the issue with having WP installed in subdirecrtory
2) The region is pointing to US…That bug is fixed in WPSLP version 5.0.4
* the news about the subdirectory issue , if you are tech savvy there is a “read more ” in the developers personal bio that provides instructions
