The discrete search is not in Power, it is part of the Experience add-on. You mentioned the retired Enhanced Search, the functionality for all the Enhanced add-ons is now contained in Experience add-on. I shared the link to the documentation for discrete search.
The Experience add-on also allows for a Dropdown menu for countries. You can also add labels in the address box to request people put in more information so that Google will come back correctly. What I meant by a blinder, is: Australia does not have unique postal codes. Google will return other countries that could have a similar postal code. I have attached a screenshot, using GOOGLE MAPS (not SLP) and requesting zip code 2100 there are 3 results returned. Belgium, Portugal and Denmark…which one am I looking for? It didn’t come back with Sydney. Thus the experience add-on and the Premier add-ons have added things such as autoocmplete address which will pre fill with locations from your SLP locations list. I hope this clarifies what I mean by having blinders on. Obviously Google comes back with the most common searches when someone types in a postal code of 2100. See How Search and how Google MAP API works
To be able to assist you properly , please read the posting guidelines. The screenshot we need is of your Plugin environment (see Posting guidelines)
As a side note: The developer is looking into changes that WP made as security patches in how SQL was being handled. WordPress 4.8.2 updated how they “fixed” string security. They also then changed another set of rules in 4.8.3 but it wasn’t in their codex. The developer is working through their CODE now to see if it could have any impact on how search javascript is working in the event that Google has not changed their algorithms.
Please start a new thread, you have added a brand new set of topics to this post , i.e importing, and a page worth of strings in html that is not easily read and it is not showing the info that we need to assist you . We need your plugin environment and site url. The issue reported by the originator of the post will be in next release as identified by Lance.
1) Please provide your PLUGIN environment, a screenshot of the PLUGIN ENVIRONMENT is best. , read posting guidelines to see what info is needed.
2) have you updated SLP to 4.9.1, that should solve the language issue.
3) Please do not post multiple issues in your post
4) Please do not add to someone else’s post as you may not have same plugin environment or configuration or servers or PHP versions etc.
Thank you, Please provide your full plugin environment, which should include your site url. See required Info here . we have not received any errors about REST API. Please review the documentation about the REST API configuration for SLP and the Required Permissions
You might want to update WP , but it is your theme messing it up (See Troubleshooting)
Looking at your console using browser console developer tools, you are getting a fatal error.

We have a team that can work on your site through a retainer program.
Do you have a virtual or staging site? They will require that a backup of your site is done (that is separate if you do not have a backup WP plugin like JetPack ) If it is your theme that was copied over wrong…not sure how many hours it will take. You will have to discuss with the developer and get on schedules. All troubleshooting, building or fixing WP sites is done through cybersprocket.
@ Joe
Please refer to troubleshooting…as I began to mention but hit submit button too fast this is not coming from SLP…It is another plugin and/or your theme that is also using a Google MAP API. Your Site has multiple map APIS, it also has error message “sensor not required” which hasn’t been an issue with SLP for over 3 plus years
…and you have referrers which Google does not allow
See your Google developers console error messages.
Here is Troubleshooting guide
Did you migrate your site or update ANY other plugins or themes?
Turn them off one by one (basic WP debugging) switch to a WP theme, etc
These issues most likely did not pop up overnight without some updates occurring, unfortunately the map or search not working almost always raises an alarm.
P.S. Also if you do not have a valid SSL certificate there is a good chance Google will not return much of anything. They are getting very strict with their protocols and security.
@ Joe, your console shows these error messages .

Lance was answering Suzanne who glommed onto your post. That is what happens when people add onto another post, we are not chastising anyone but it is difficult when you start seeing multiple conversations when users add on and use same topi. The topic functionality issues…..it is so general…
Go Here and you can download any version of WPSLP, Scroll under advanced view, previous versions all the versions are in there.
ALL SLP versions can be downloaded direct from the Wp directory.
The way the search and results works:
SLP doesnt go out and get the lat long, that is done directly from Google Maps geocoder API. Ditto when Google returns results based on wherever their search engine domains are located.
Please read this and if you can report what is happening when you follow the troubleshooting guidelines.
I have been importing dozens of locations and they are all updating correctly, so we need to look at what is different on your site.
I will discuss with developer.
Holly, Are you using Windows?
And which versions of WP?
Google has an Australia blinder on. We understand totally an sympathize. The return that google search does is outside the scope of the SLP plugin. The developer has built in some tricks to try and force Google to FOCUS on what is being asked for. I have an Australia only ,map my self and by adding the country Australia to the short code all addresses return correctly.
Power add-on doesnt control where Google searches, the location sensor helps but there are restrictions (for instance do you have a valid SSL cert) and you would have to assume that the only people searching are within same (Australia)
the experience add-on also allows for an append filter.
See shortcodes
Here is more information in docs site on how the search works
Email addresses will display, I thought your question was to change the way the results load now.
Here is an explanation of how the basic free Search Plugin works
https://docs.storelocatorplus.com/blog/search-panel-settings/
I do not know much about your site, but there is more than one Cape Town in the world so the Google algorithm and interface needs more information. It is the google search engine that determines where to search. the Add-ons that were built, such as experience add-on are designed to pass resolvers along to help Google make a better guess.
That is what the discrete search function etc does (that is also included with experience add-on.
As far as your email question: I understood ( I thought) that you did not want the word email but the actual email address to be displayed…the label can be changed with the Experience add on, by adding a hook/filter in your WordPress theme or creating a small plugin to do just that. yes… it can be changed with CSS or JavaScript or any number of ways outside of the Experience plugin. To change it from the admin panel via settings, yes you need the Experience add on.
As far as your price point issue:
The author could keep adding more and more “rudimentary” options that every person asks for into the free plugin 1) People complained there were too many settings and 2) NOBODY paid for support. That model proved to not be viable.
For those that don’t value the thousands of hours spent building and documenting the plugin and keeping it maintained can always take the time to code the same features in their own add ons or themes. The base product is 100% documented with phpDoc and includes all the hooks and filters you need to do anything the add on products do. Every single add on that we have is built using nothing more than what ships in the free product.
Could you provide your Plugin Environment? If you are referring to proPack, there is another forum post that explains that the ProPack Legacy add-on is not compatible since SLP version 4.8. See previous Post.
That is being fixed in SLP 4.9.2 and will be released within next day, if not later tonite.
Thank you for providing the plugin environment and necessary information.
🙂
He is working on and testing Power updates and just updated SLP , posted what he is working on this week from the issues punch list . After the update you might want to consider updating PHP to 7 as lower versions of PHP are being deprecated according to WP . I do not think it will effect you in short term.
Lenny,
Did you update to latest versions? Could you let us know where you are at and if you are still havung an issue with this? Are you importing a large list of locations for instance or are you only having issues with the SEO Pages? The developer needs to know some basic info, PHP, debug log, javascript errors?
Update v 4.9.1 released. See authors post
Update SLP 4.9.1 resolves the issue according to the Developers post here. Please review and try it out.
Hi Sketch,
Lance thinks he isolated the bug with the language files. See his news release here
If after updating to 4.9.1 you still see issues please let me know ASAP
Correct. The trash barrel flashes a red error message. The bulk delete works unless you have 999 locations or more on a page.
The developer has the trash barrel icon issue on his punch list. SLP 4.9.2 is in testing. Anyone who has a developer or staging site is invited to assist testing the beat versions. It would be very much appreciated.
Can you change the back end to English to see if they reappear? There has been a reported issue with the WP 4.9 update and SLP 4.9 update that we are tracking down. One of our long term users, (pianni who works with Swedish), is also helping us research to isolate the problem. The developer is aware and is researching what has changed in the WP 4.9…WP also has bugs reported by other developers concerning the language elements.
Thank you for weighing in and let us know if yo=switching to English helps
If someone searches by zip code and no results are found they would have to re-enter another search on the search form, I am not clear about your question. But it appears your search is not working on your site. Is your WP admin in English or another language? Did you jump versions, i.e. did you used to have an older version of SLP?
As far as responsiveness, your theme combined with the plugin style you choose from the gallery determines responsiveness.Some of the Plugin styles work best with the experience add-on or Premier.
To change elements easily within the layouts requires the Experience add-on . Or you can try adding a hook/filter in your WordPress theme change it with CSS or JavaScript or any number of ways outside of the Experience plugin.. To change it from the SLP admin panel via settings, you would need the Experience add on.
You are receiving a message that you have no Google Map API keys. and no secured site certificate
See Results layout and how to change in Documentation
I have reported the error message you are seeing in your WP Admin panel to the developer
Could you explain more as to what you mean by defaults back to original radius, that is the way it is supposed to work if you have a default radius designated. Or are you referring to the Radius select label as first entry? See Radius Behavior and settings in docs site. Really need to know what your https://docs.storelocatorplus.com/blog/info-tab-plugin-environment/SLP Plugin environment looks like, see posting guidelines. Also what is your center map at settings? If you have locations in US, some in Australia, some in Europe etc you need to make sure you have a large enough range under the Settings/Results
Mark,
Thank you for letting us know. I tested and saw same flashing red message, but when I checked, the location I deleted was gone. I tested by using the trash barrel, was that the same you experienced? Also could you provide your SLP plugin environment, a screenshot from the SLP/INFO/Plugin environment is sufficient
Is your site in language other then English? This issue has been reported and we have another user working with us to resolve. Something happened with the WP 4.9 update. If you switch your back end to English your tabs should appear.
