I checked your site today and there is still a Google Invalid Key warning coming through. It isnt preventing the site from searching but somewhere along the line it comes across something that might have an old APi key or info that was with http version of your site.  In our troubleshooting guide

Different Host or Domain Name

Some sites use a variety of host and domain names for different sections of their site.   Web servers and browsers will block most AJAX requests that do not original from the same host and domain as the back end server process.    The easiest way to manage this conflict is to use web configuration, such as Apache’s mod_rewrite rules via the .htaccess file,  to redirect AJAX requests to the proper URL.

 

Please refer to how to debug your site under troubleshoot.

It is taking quite a while to load your Map, possibly because of your theme, or another plugin. (also you have mixed content, your icons are sill under http but your site is https.  its working but you want to be cautious when building and transferring plugins and data to a new site.)

[Cici]

That screenshot does not provide me enough information and you need to provide your plugin environment.  Is T&C a new location with an address or is it a duplicate address?  Have you added other locations and do they add correctly?   Apparently Google Geocoded it or attempted to , or was that message from another input?

[Cici]

Ok, That may be the issue. If the site changes domain in any way , new rules as of June 2016 (see our Post last year). Google states MUST have API key. The good news, if you are now https, Google Chrome allows the location sensor to work.

Note: Your  API key must be for the exact domain. The error message indicates that is the issue.  Upgrading to ssl would change the domain.   Lance updated this site to SSL certification in 2015 , it was a big undertaking.
He wrote this article in 2015 about the process.

 

Hope that resolves your issue, let me know.

 

Thanks

If you translate an Add On send the .po and .mo files to support@storelocatorplus.com.

[Cici]

P.S. Is this a new site or one that you moved over with a new domain name? If you changed even from http to https, that would require a new API key.

[Cici]

Follow the link, you have an invalid key”
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/error-messages#invalid-key

Warning
The API key included in the script element that loads the API does not look correct. Please make sure you are using a correct API key. You can generate a new API key on the Google API Console.

See Obtaining an API key.

Inspected your site, using Chrome Developer tools in browser, under console:

util.js:210 Google Maps API warning: InvalidKey https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/error-messages#invalid-key

Also did you add a Google APi key in the right spot?

https://docs.storelocatorplus.com/blog/getting-started/

I honestly cannot troubleshoot without more info. something on your site , or your hosting , is causing you to have unique issues, we have not had any reports of failure to add one location or geocode unless the address is bad or you have reached your query limit, Query limits often happen when you are on a shared server.

Saying it is up to date does not provide me the info I need to help you. Please provide your plugin environment.

That would also include your site url

READ the WORDPRESS TRANSLATION TEAM info and please contact them.

The core base plugin , the free store plugin, all translations are done via the WordPress translation team. We do not do them

We only add the po / mo files for the add-ons.
For Loco Translate questions contact them.

[Cici]

could you please provide the information required , see read this before posting guidelines and also read looking for tech support. I will be better able to assist you when you provide more info, such as versions, plugin environment, etc.

ALso you may find your answers more readily in documentation’

AHA, now I understand. Janitor probably wouldn’t work for that, as you noted. A little  hackery sometimes it works , and well. sometimes its jelly. Thanks for clarifying

[Cici]

You can rank and / or use the Featured function  with the Experience Add-on.

If you are not looking to “rank” or have a “preferred feature” and  just want to differentiate the locations or have products in categories that is done via Categorization  with the Power Add-on.

For more ideas and info

What to buy

To get the best of both worlds (if you need both add-ons and more),  I recommend the premier Subscription where all of the features, add-ons and exclusive membership benefits are included.  It is by far the bigger bang for the buck.  If it doesn’t exist  or if you require a customization and it can be done, that is also an exclusive benefit for Premier members.

Unfortunately , as it currently stands. it will be very difficult to find this type of plugin (locator mapping) within the WordPress environment when pretty much everyone, including some themes,  are using the Google MAP API.  If you put any reference restrictions (as noted in various posts and in the Google developer console) to obtain the API browser key  you do not see the map at all. Google blocks it.  If anyone else has suggestions please feel free to add to this post.

 

 

[Cici]

Janitor works. I do not understand the first post. What you are referring to when you say markers field is gone in admin? It is still in the base plugin on my test sites and in allthe latest versions.  If you had special icons that were  not saved in your directory or an error referring to an unknown path Please provide a debug or error log from your site.

Thanks for letting us know it was resolved Luke.

You can export/import to a csv file if you have the Power add-on. Create a Google or Excel spreadsheet, copy the url under the data field indicated in the instructions and convert , download to a csv file. There is no separate Bulk action to just update the url for locations. If the location already exists you must have a header row (you would export first) with the sl_id.

How to export

Import CSV

Data field header rows

 

 

[Cici]

Cant you just  check those locations off as Private.  https://docs.storelocatorplus.com/blog/q-how-can-i-mark-a-location-so-it-does-not-show-up-in-the-results/

 

You can add another location with the same exact name. Just add it the way you would add any location to your user interface. The geocode will be contingent on the address not the name.

 

Please follow the Posting guidelines and reiterated here.  provide us with a screenshot of the plugin environmnet under the INFO tab of the SLP plugin.  We do not know what versions, add-ons etc that you have active.

This question has been answered, is this a duplicate post?   You must follow the instructions , See https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/store-locator-le/language-packs

 @ratputin Thank you for answering, as you know, both Lance (and I) have been indisposed with a death in the family. Your help, and patience,  is appreciated.

[Cici]

Follow the instructions in the Translate WordPress.org   Your  translation will have to be reviewed and viewed by them

 

https://docs.storelocatorplus.com/blog/translating-store-locator-plus/

[Cici]

Im sorry, I havent had a chance to review, there has been a death in the family.  Could you use Loco translate and send the translated .po. mo file to support@wordpress.storelocator. com or use the contact us form.

if that is the case, Lance can update it with the next release.

[Cici]

Which SLP Plugin Style are they using? You can test their site by viewing their page with the locator on it and viewing in the console, you can inspect page using any browser tools and see if the theme is overriding  any settings.

Assume since they have hired you  for web design or maintainence, you will be able to find your way arounf the developer tools in any browser.

If you need to see how to do this please go to the SLP documentation site and research CSs or themes or plugin styles. They will need the Experience add-on if they need to make any changes to force their theme to comply
