This issue is resolved with SLP and Power 4.6 currently in beta testing and is available for pre release testing and use on dev or staging sites. Always back up your files and WP site before updating to major version changes as suggested in the WP codex and by developers. .The production version for live sites should be released within the next week.
Thank you for your patience.
please provide your Plugin environment per the Posting Guidelines.
If you would like to help with translations of add-ons, please review the documentation for info on using and setting WPML
Hi Scott, The ProPack still works but there was a major coding event with SLP core plugin in 4.5.08 that required ProPack to be disabled and a later version installed from your account…that goes back to the versions control and labeling that we discussed in the other post. We tried to make everyone aware through various news feeds and documentation FAQ.
But you did the right thing by updating to Power. Power is where the improvements and future upgrades will happen. The imports should be faster than what you saw before. Additional tweaks to SLP and to Power in versions 4.6 are going to help your performance .
Having said that, I do not know what your plugin environment or server configuration or site url or server host is. This is where a screenshot of your Plugin environment (posting guidelines) is useful. That info weighs heavily into the equation. For instance do you have or need a Google API? Are you on a shared server? What version PhP?
There are issues with your csv file, Why do you leave the sl_address column blank and only load the address in the sl_address 2,? That address will load on the second line. When you converted to CSV , if you used an older version of Excel , you will notice your leading zero was dropped in the zip code column, that will not be geocoded or will be an incorrect geocode location….You need to format that column correctly , we suggest Google sheets IMPORT CSV FILE DOCS AND EXAMPLES see your zip codes as they are in your attached file below, they should be five numbers, NJ I assume should be 07xxx:
7401
7642
7652
7407
7432
7666
7073
Here are some useful tips and suggestions in our documentation on how to improve your import process and issues that can occur (for instance the dropping of that leading zero, zip code before you convert to a csv file.
FAQ info for geocoding, importing large data sets etc
It should be all fixed now…could you let us know if you have any issues and if it is fixed for you now? Scott thanks for quadruple checking, I do that too…I never want to hear someone tell me its operator error . I would not have known if you hadn’t reported by commenting in this post, thank you for helping the forum community and SLP..
Yipes well that is not good, I download from the Products download page, but I have Premier access, if you have Premier you can download from a separate menu drop down, I am having Lance look into this now. I know he was working on the Products version via the WooCommerce plugin and had to do some special coding. The intent was to have the Release VERSION appear next to the download…sorry about that guys..Lance is fixing it right now..
Thank you so much for letting us know.
My apology for steering you down the wrong path.
As posted on our site and in the news feed and in the forums,
See the question and answer here in FAQ on the documentation site.
They do work you need to update them from your account.OR
if you would like to upgrade to the Power add-on which contains the features found in ProPack, Tagalong , Contact extender and more to continue and improve the SLP v 4.6 , you can take the hosting survey and request a coupon towards Power Add-onIf you have locations outside of Australia as well you can make the search form “smarter” by adding the Widgets dropdown by city,state . That feature is part of the Experience Add-on. I notice you are still using the Legacy add-ons from 2013. Thepackage you bought is no longer offered but you are eligible for a coupon to upgrade. Premier might be your best bet, but you would want to upgrade to Experience or Power add-on in order to keep the features you are currently using as well as some improvements to load and import times. Contact support for more information or you could request a discount currently being offered via the hosting survey. (P.S. If you would like some help updating your site we are now offering that service through Cybersprocket )
See the Legacy mapping to new add-ons under our FAQ New docs site
Use the discrete search function since you have Enhanced Search, are all your locations in Australia
Did you update ProPack? Really need your info, see Posting guidelines as far as what we need to be able to assist you.
Thank you for providing your Plugin Environment. There are many SLP plugin styles for you to try out and there is documentation here on how to get best results. Some work better with certain WordPress themes than others. For instance SLP has a Woo memorable plugin style . To override your WordPress default theme you would need to know CSS and /or HTML. There is a tutorial about using CSS on the SLP YOU TUBE CHANNEL.
You mention you want something like ” Visit Store Page” , Do you have the Power Add-on or Pages Legacy Add-on? Power add-on includes (new ProPack, Pages , Categories (fka tagalong) Manager, Contact Extender, Directory Builder.
For more information on the functionality and features of the various add-ons, please see the Our add-ons under Documatation
P.S. DETERMINE the criteria you wish to use UNDER slp General Admin setting
PRE RELEASE OR PRODUCTION
That is because you downloaded the POWER pre release not PRODUCTION version.
You should only use Pre releases (beta or RC) on dev sites or staging sites, not on live published sites. Download your zip file under your account that says POWER production
If you want to try the pre release out that is fantastic, you can down load the SLP pre release for free, but again it is only recommended for dev sites.testing pre relases, helps us uncover any issues before release to the world.
The PRODUCTION version of POWER is 4.5.13.
That is Google. I have posted many news feeds (like this article) and answered forum questions on this subject matter. I have experienced the same thing on occasion especially with Sydney and Australia. Google decides to send people to random places. The developer of SLP has compensated by adding selections for map domains and discrete search functions, append search country (if you have Experience Add-on)
(See Countries and languages in Docs)
Also an explanation here in the documentation and what you can try to make sure the default goes to the right area of the world.
Please provide your Plugin environment if you need more information
But EDM is included in Premier. I just posted this excellent question under FAQ in our new docs site
Now I shall close the post. Thanks
LOL, Fantastic. If you appreciate the support and the free Plugin, I invite you to leave feedback a ★★★★★ rating onWordPress.org.
Brad, An Update, the Developer is still debugging this issue. He has a pre release out but it failed my test so he is back on trying to recreate the issues you and I discovered. Sorry for the wait in getting this resolved. Once fixed a changelog showing the fixed version will be in the news release will be visible under your SLP Info tab. He is also working with the next WP update to 4.6, fingers crossed that the WP major version release does not cause unwanted issues.
Hi Dave ,
Glad I could be of help and for letting us know it is resolved.If you appreciate the support I have given you and the Store Locator Plus Plug in, could you take a sec and believe we deserve a great rating ,click on the stars ★★★★★ on WordPress.org.
P.S. If you wish to explore any add-ons or other cool features you can check out our demo site which has all the add-ons including Premier installed…and , even better, if you take the hosting survey that appears on your SLP admin page you can request a coupon or discount towards a product or service.
Elliot, PS You are getting this error message, you can checkl these using the developers tools on any browser, I just clicked on your link and right clicked on INSPECT element and under “Console” this is the warning ::::….Google Maps API warning: InvalidKey https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/error-messages#invalid-key
Delete what you have entered in SLP for your google key and follow the documentation info and Tutorial video
for help with how to get the API MAP keyHi Elliot
I added this to my location on my site
Store Locator Plus wants you to know:
Google thinks 171 Brighton RD Coulsdon CR52NH UK is at lat: 51.3197566 long -0.1388583
Art rebellion cafe added successfully.I clicked on the lat longtitude (it is a clickable link on the message) and it looks correct. The location shown when I open it in Goggle Maps is near the Coulsdon library, note I did not add a Space in the “zip code”
I have the US map domain for my site and it still geocoded it correctly.
Not sure whats going on with your set up
Did you need to get a Google API Map browser key, was this a new domain?
Did you add it to the correct spot (not the Google BIZ license)under General/User Interface/Google developers console, Google Browser key?I cannot tell what the issue is with your locations not geocoding. Make sure your Address is properly formatted, if you give me an example I will see if it happens in my test site.
Also we request that forum posters read the posting guideline and provide us with the details about their SLP Plugin Environment.If you post the info requested and Plugin environment I might be able to help.
I just added your address above exactly as shown
this is the message I got
Store Locator Plus wants you to know:
Google thinks 5858 East Molloy Road Mattydale NY 13211 is at lat: 43.0978815 long -76.1137606
Mary Hair salon added successfully.Please provide your plugin environment, I cant help you without seeing your versions.
Also, If your site existed before June 22 2016 you do NOT need a Google API, that is only required for new sites.Were you importing?
Did you have Bulk actions any special update instructions, again I need your plugin Environment and please start a new thread unlkess you have the exact same configuration as the person you glommed on it doesnt help us assist you or answer Elliot.
OOps, As you can see I logged into your account as you to make sure the products /Downloads page was available…It is…so you answered as your self, now I’m answering you as me.
Lance is working on the WooCommerce updates to chain products and associate them with groups
Ok I see that you mention you have 4.5.13. Assume you do not have any add-ons, such as Power, or ProPack, or Experience Add-on. So what you need to tweak is your center Map at, your search default radius, and the other settings mentioned above. You say your default is 200 miles, it will show the results based on closest to your map center. Your radius behavior under the Search, is it set at Always use? The screenshots above do not provide the info we need as far as versions , configuration but apparently you do not have any add-ons.
setting up the various parameters settings under search and under results in the documentation page. Setting the Results radius to a large enough number to include all, etc is paramount.
Egad, Thst not good. The developer was working on that earlier today, WooCommerce updated and he was going back in and adding the add-ons available. I know he was working on the yearly, I am going to contact him right now about this. I will have something back to you within the hour.
I am very sorry that happened.
Dan
Please provide a copy of your plugin environment, screenshot is best, and also your URl. as requested in the Posting guidelines.
I cannot really help you without that information, the posting guidelines suggest you update versions first. Troubleshooting also provides guidance, i.e what can cause issues with your maps locations etc…also check your settings, radius etc…what add-ons if any you have. Please provide details, otherwise I can only make guesses as to what your particular issues are.
