Hello,

Are you saying you have Store Locator Plus 3.14 or WP 3.14?

If you were using SLP 3.14 you never had the ability to export. That feature was introduced with SLP4 and ProPack and was announced as being in Beta testing in Sept 2013 with SLP 4 also in beta testing. . You should save the csv file you say you already have and use that for import.

The only orders I see associated with your name (if you are @blueaardvark.ca) was the free forum registration in 2013. Perhaps you were using a different Store locator product at one time I do not see any paid add-ons with your name and to have import or export capabilities you would have ProPack . you cannot mix versions, 3 and 4 of any of our products and there is no longer any support provided for versions 3.

The ProPack EXPORT functionality was released in 2014 I believe. (Lance posted a blog about it)

Not sure what to tell you other than I hope you have a copy of your CSV files and you will need to purchase some add-ons to be able to get the site back up and running to import with the  SLP 4.5 base plugin

Hmmm, Was that recently or previously?

Power should be much faster, Have you tried it 4.5.07 or 4.5.08 (beta)  with the current version of SLP?  I did imports and have css and the import went so quickly I didnt know it happened. Those improvements were released recently. If you update SLP you will be required to update the other add-ons.  Things that were in SLP have been moved to the add-ons. (see the changelogs for SLP and what was changed in last release) .  BUT as a cautionary, there were some bugs in one of the Power releases athat are being addressed now with 4.5.08 (beta testing now) I think your issues might go away with using the power add-on with the new release.

I will take a look at your site in the meantime,  the developer definitely wants to know if anything he is changing is having an impact on load times etc

P.S. With Power, if you aren’t using (STORE)  Pages, you do need to go to general settings and check OFF enabling pages. That should help performance

The developer has been working with WPML on issues that WPML is having.  See his post

 

as far as other labels or tags saving, we discovered a bug with tags not saving and an update fixing this bug is currently in pre release 4.5.08 beta products for Premier, EXp SLP and Power are all on 4.5.08 beta….

Since you show that you have  Premier, you are able to install the Power add-on which takes the place of ProPack, Tagalong, Pages and a few other add-ons and is designed to be compatible with the SLP 4.5.07 and above as well as the EXP add-ons and Premier.  You do not have to install Power if you do not wish to.   See the description and details about Power

These are the only add-ons t (EXP POWER ) that are being revamped to work with the newer WPML gettext.  There are some responses in forums from the developer (Lance) about this.

Thanks for letting us know  of this specific issue

I will definitely bring his attention to this forum question and issues.

And this is how it looks on the UI admin after I imported, the Vendue Inn was a new location I added that I have tags both restaurant,hotel.

Please note, I have Premier installed on my test site, so if you only have ProPack you will not see the pretty picture of the map for the location on the BACK end UI.

Also shown is the front end with dropdown, or text input, show locations at start as one example and  don’tt show locations until search, etc…there are a plethora of settings available depending on what add-ons you have installed.

Hi Maya, Yes you can import more than one tag per location, as mentioned they are separated by commas. Here is an example of an import file. I used Google Sheets and saved as CSV. As you can see, some of my examples show both restaurant,hotel on one line.

Tags are imported the same way as every other field.  Here is documentation of the filed header  names etc. It indicates Power add-on but also applies to current versions of ProPack… the field header is tags, if you are importing a file first , convert to *csv file format

*comma separated value.

Could you please provide your plugin environment and url (see Posting guidelines

I am not sure how your set up is configured but you could use the pop up email form instead of a direct email link. It is available with  Experience add-on. (I am not a techie on the subject sorry. If you provide more information I can ask Lance)

slp_location shortcodes (Experience)

[slp_location email_link]

 

The anchor tag and email address from the data field to form a direct email link. If the “use email form” setting is turned on a pop-up email form will be used instead of a direct email link.

Could you please provide us you Plugin Environment and url that has store locator plus on it?

There was an issue on one of the updates but I do not recall the combination of events.

It  is broken and not in EnglisH AND FULL OF SPECIAL CHARACTERS…, they need to fix it.

ERRORS ARE bright red , you need to fix it

See Troubleshooting and tutorial videos on debugging

Also you have an invalid key:

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

See our recent INFO and NEWS blog about this

Google requires all new site domains to obtain the API key (as of June 22 2016)

Lenny, I answered you in the Premier forum.

For better, more accurate information from  SLP support,  could you please post your Plugin environment and url, (see Posting guidelines)  I do not know if you have upgraded to the Power and Experience add-ons for instance, or what you have installed,/ activated.

 to reiterate here:

 

The switch current map ID indicates that you have or had  Multi Map plugin active.  Multi Map was problematic and it is a third party add-on (Debaat  forum ).   Check to see if you have Multi Map active, deactivate and see if the problem goes away.  Multi Map add-on as not been updated to work with the newer versions of SLP.

IS this a new domain?  If so as of June 22, 2016 Google requires a Map API Key This applies to every plugin and every site that uses Google Maps API

I do not know what “dennis language” is…

What is “dennis language”  is that your made up lingo for something you wrote or is there a language translating to something called dennis ????

As mentioned in all the previous posts : your listed SLP add-ons will not be updated if the language file  does not work now.  You can use LOCO Translate but we are not updating language files for LEGACY add-ons, only for NEW add-ons using WPML.

Shortcodes are in English and will remain in English because they are codes

I cannot answer your questions because they do not make sense and you are using incorrect syntax.  Please use an online translation program to translate what you want to say in English and copy it here.   Your English is not good enough to ask proper technical questions I am sorry.  I have helped as much as I can.

Thanks for letting us know Toby, I was just going to refer you to the article I wrote last week.

Yep, Google has been spewing warnings for about  a year if you ever inspected your console. Your old site is grandfathered in.  Lance had prepared for this event by adding an area in the back end of SLP where you add your API key. Other WP Locator Plugins did not plan for that event and are having their customers change snippets of lines of code.

 

 

 

[Cici]

P.S. I am reading the same in other WP developers support chains  that are using Google MAP API keys, and their forum posters are reporting same issues.

 

[Cici]

Hi Shad,

Just to clarify, the SLP plugin is not the issue. As you referenced this is something Google is now requiring for any new domains. This is not something within the power of plugin authors to control. Google is not selling an overarching license to any developer to allow them to use the map api for multiple new site domains is the way I am reading it. Each new domain has to have its own API key.  We suspect that they will i the future push for pay as you go, as they mention the free API key allows quite a few look-ups per day.   Speak to Lance on Slack and he can provide you more detail. He is back in the office starting tomorrow.

thanks for bringing it to our attention.

[Cici]

If you haven’t had a chance to provide a review on the SLP WordPress directory for StoreLocator Plus, and you think we warrant a great review,  we invite you to leave feedback there.

 

[Cici]

Hi Benjamin, That is probably a plausible answer. I was going to suggest lowering your radius default under results as well. I like you site BTW…wouldn’t mind using it for one of our featured customer sites….but only with your permission of course.

 

P.S. read the new article, it probably wont effect your domain if you had it before June 22, but it is about the Google API queries.

[Cici]

Well well well, isn’t that special!  I guess we can’t plead ignorance, they have been providing warnings in the consoles for a while now, I guess I will let Lance write a new blog on this
