Yes importing and updating and creating categories on the fly is part of the Power add-on and it has been tested with version 4.8. I just double checked and imported a new location and new category, as well as imported in same file a new location with an existing category assigned. They imported correctly.
What site did you export from? Were you using an older Legacy add-on?
If you imported to a new site the sl_id will not have been established , therefore that column is not needed unless you have duplicates in your database already established and have an assigned sl_id. then you want to make sure the sl_id matches before updating them.
There is a quirk in some data sets that will require you to re-arrange the header row (first row) of the export file. Before importing your export file back in on your new site make sure you’ve checked that the headers have not shifted, that they have correct field names as things may have changed over time. read about duplicate handling and the column header sl_id.
No, there are no products under the WordPress SLP with monthly charges. The SAAS MYSLP may be what you looked at.
The WordPress Store Locator Plus Power add-on is a one time purchase.
Also make sure you have the discrete filter to just be Dropdown Discrete for the selector and assume you have set allow selector and address inPUT. It is difficult to advise you based on the various questions we have seen in the past. But that is where the setting is
Set it to none

Under the Settings/search. There are often links and most often a side info box next to each setting in the back end of the SLP. Just hover over the settings if you do not see what they do.
Please provide the info requested in Posting guidelines. We do not know which “latest versions” you are using. See here for versions Also a site url is helpful.
@ Simon Back up your site, especially save your css to an accessible directory folder. The update should not cause you to lose any data but we always recommend backing up your site before doing any major upgrades. see this informational post for more info on updating, changing sites etc. P.S. you can be added to the SLACK channel #talk-about-slp , when the developer is online working SLP or Myslp Saas you can chat on that channel and ask any questions of the developer as well as here. He does not check these forums, he lets support do that but he is the guru, so check out the Slack channel. That is a bonus for being Premier customer
Update to 4.8 is out, but you also changed your site from http to https. That equates to a new domain as far as Google is concerned, plus it is showing mixed content errors. MORE INFO ON MIXED CONTENT
Your site content is pulling some of the styling etc from http but you are trying to serve it over https. You mention you have Multi site, do you mean multisite network administration or just multisite? Did you follow the WP best Practices and guidelines when updating your site?

1)) See under Center Map at under Settings/Map. In the box center map at just type in Boston MA
2) check your map zoom levels.
3) You can also add the shortcode on the locator page such as this
[SLPLUS center_map_at="Boston ,MA" radius="50"]See my examples
Under results check your settings do you want locations to display immediately or after search? (you may want the Experience add-on to fine tune or add more defined settings) See documentation for Experience add-on
P.S. the developers news release about styles and updates and how to video. https://www.storelocatorplus.com/tweaking-the-locator-style/
Documentation site Power add-on
Assume you backed up your site prior to updating and saved your css per instructions and WP best practices? They are in the WP options table. You should have a child theme correct?
Hi Pete,
I tested it and you are correct. I have reported this to Lance. If he has any questions he will probably ask you on the SLACK channel
Please provide information requested in the Posting guidelines. Your site page url that has the SLP add-on. Without support cannot make a guess as to why your particular site is having an issue
Version 4.8 of SLP and the add-ons were released last week. Check the versions section anytime you arent sure. Deactivate your add-on and SLP plugins if they do not auto show
Update to 4.8 has been released. This should fix the issue
The initial set-up fee for Premier is non-refundable since it provides the ability to download the add-ons which is then installed on your site. We had too many dishonest web designers buying it, using the add-ons for multiple clients (and we assume being paid a hefty fee for developing their customers sites) and then cancelling it and keeping the downloads.
We have a demo site but have been having issues with the Ninja plugin that developer demo sites. The demo site is built on top of the now-defunct Ninja Forms app called “Ninja Demo”. The demo site therefore does not have the latest Premier features.
Not all Plugin styles work with the base Plugin. The gallery style they have selected requires the Experience add-on to be activate. It is an advanced style
https://docs.storelocatorplus.com/blog/selecting-and-customizing-your-style/
Update ypour SLP and EXP add-on to version 4.8 released this week to see if that helps with your issue
The Ip address limiter was a customization and has been added to Premier .
See functionality explanation here
Your site has a ton of errors, read the getting started guide.
https://docs.storelocatorplus.com/blog/q-geocoding-stopped-working-suddenly-why/
There are various reasons a grey map appears, conflict with themes, plug-ins or Ajax , JAVASCRIPT errors ( this may apply to your site see troubleshooting )
In case anyone else happens upon this post. Versions 4.8 of SLP and the add-ons are in production (check versions here) fixed the issues. I will close the post unless you report issue remains.
Thanks for your patience and reporting the issue

If you look at the back end under your SLP General/user interface tab and hover over the check box the full explanation is on the side.
“If checked an address can be pre-loaded via a URL string ?address=my+town. This will disable the location sensor whenever the address is used in the URL”
See attached screenshot of where to find the info
