This info from the developer, and if you would be so kind as to assist, ” please ask people to help me test WPML in the base plugin while I’m developing SLP 4.5.07 this week. I’ll put out a pre-release soon.
Quick testing and feedback wanted. I want to push 4.5.07 public before I go offline 06/20 for a week.”

Hi Phil,
Let us know, as mentioned we can provide you a coupon towards the purchase of the Experience add-on (That replaces the Enhanced add-ons and also provides you with the new Widgets add on) and the recent Power add-on release which includes the ProPack, Tagalong, Pages, and Directory builder. It would be a shame for you to start over from scratch. Please let us know (via support email) what some of your concerns are about Store Locator Plus and or the add-ons
P.S. Do you have Network Active Multisite WordPress ?
1) Map Markers can be set on a per location basis amd changed individually under the Manage Locations Tab
2) That could be one way to go, or you could use ranking, featured if you want them to appear first in the results, or to ALWAYS appear no matter what zip code or address is being searched etc. It is “order results by” and is a feature with the Experience Add -on (or if that is all you want you can try the Legacy Enhanced Results)
Featured Add-ons
3) you can look at your Installed Plugins amd see Store Locator Plus and any add-ons
or If you have SLP installed expand StoreLocator Plus menu bar on the side panel and go to INFO tab /Plugin Environment
Hi Frances,
Your Plugin Environment information would be useful here along with your site url. I will attempt to answer you (not knowing what you have installed or versions)
Set “disable initial directory” and the map will only load after search is performed might be preferable for you,
2) taking too long to load you map markers. , See the questions and answers and technical details in this older forum post:
How long it takes can be attributable to how many results you have to show at startup, how your local browser and local Internet speed, and Google server response times, etc..
For other Info:
The Location sensor determines the default starting point for the search. Location sensor may not work in all browsers.
Location Sensor and how it works
Glad to hear it worked out for you. Thanks for using the forums to post your questions and answers.
The second screen shot says you have reached your Google Query Limit. Here is some documentation that should help you,
Authors post about what the Over query Limit means and why
The first message is telling you that Google cant find the location based on the address you have entered. Often times people leave off missing information or enter zip codes wrong etc. I do not know what your particular issue is that causes this, but it is Google not finding the address and really is not the plugin. The plugin interfaces to the google maps api
If you are loading it using CSV you could have fields in the wrong column or incorrect headers. (I do not know if you have ProPack, It would help if you provided a screenshot of your Plugin Environment (see Posting guidelines for the info we need to assist you)
Argh, (Ive written this reply three times and keep closing my reply when I move over to your site to inspect.)
I inspected your site and you have a lot of issues that is messing up your formatting and preventing some things loading. See attached screenshot from your site url
1) Loading resources, icons and images. Did you change from http to https by any chance? Because the icons and images are trying to load from an http location and cannot load. You are getting a 404 error
2) I see you are using Bellard, SLP Plugin Style that requires google font api. That is being blocked on your site, I have no idea what is blocking it, but am guessing it is one of your other plugins or theme.
3) You can change the directions link to read directions using CSS rules since it is in an href if need be.
4) Have you selected English under Map/Languages.?
5) Are you using the WP admin for multisites and have one in Dutch, another in English for those map pages?
Finally, if all else fails : You can up load SLP Janitor (its free) and see what the settings are under Labels and clear it out from there and save. Janitor is a free add-on.
I would use the WP debugger ( see under Troubleshooting) and find out which one of your plugins may be creating issues for you. There is also a tutorial on how to use Firefox developer tool to find errors that need to be fixed.
Unfortunately, we do not fix another authors/developers themes if that is what needs to be done.
Hello Ryan,
I am not sure about the “you do not have permissions to edit this page” situation, I wasnt getting that error but then again I do not use Pages much on my web site other than to test the new Power add-on. 4.5.06 RC tested out that the Store Pages icon on the Admin Sidebar does reappear. If you have another question or the update created a new issue could you please let us know or start a new thread. Appreciate it.
CiCi.
Thanks Ryan!!
My example of what I changed and how it looks, please let me know if this is not what you are referring to. I have also attached a screenshot of my Plugin environment.
Changing the labels in that is part of the base plugin, do you mean what appears on the back end or the front end? I am not sure where your issue is coming from. I just deactivated all my add-ons (except propack and tagalong like you have), I went in and changed theExperience/Results/ label for phone to MYPHONE. saved changes, went to front end, voila it is MY PHONE in results. So I am not sure what is causing you to have problems on your site I am afraid.
Concerning the Themes, keeping up with developmen etc. , that is totally a WP issue. It is coming from WP . Wp updates quite often and has had some major updates. We have no control over that and we cannot make SLp to work with every old version of various plugins and themes, so the developer does the right thing and updates to make it work with the current version of WordPress. WP updated to 4.5 and are using the newer version of jquery, they have advised everyone to update and have noted that some themes that were poorly constructed or perhaps didn’t use best Practices were forcing javascript versions or Blocking jquery. They have a list of the bad boys themes and have advised users , if ther theme author that is from a commercial side wont update, perhaps change your them to a WordPress theme (their words) they also have no control of the free market commercial themes.
The developer of Store Locator Plus understands all too well about abandoned WP lpugins and that is how he got into the WordPress world to begin with. (about his background) . That is why he and many others have offered Paid Add-ons that need to be purchased. Otherwise it is just a hobby and people tire of hobbies. The intent is to be able to continue providing updates and maintenance and support, to attend WordCamp conferences and keep up to date on WordPress changes and new developments.
Store Locator Plus is JavaScript intensive. The author wrote a blog about it here. and wrote about Themes and their function or non function a few more times , all the way back in 2012 Themes can and will interfere often with SLP loading depending on where in the schema it loads.
As far as the WPML issue, that again was a change in WP codex to change to text. That was a while ago.
On another note, anyone who does want to translate will get a free add-on or discount to new add-ons. More info on that. can be found on our new docs site.
Hi Stephanie, Actually you can access it right here: It was the Base plugin that needs update.
I tested it and it fixed the issue, but I also have Premier, Power and Exp. so it would be great if others tested it. It will be in Production tonight if no one else reports issues.
I tested it and it worked on my site but I have all the fancy schmancy add-ons like Power, Premier, etc… It will be released in Production tonight if no one finds an issue
I spoke to the developer and he asked if we could see how and where you are entering it in the back end in the locations panel? As mentioned above I noticed you have another plugin called Google My Maps, so I have no idea if that is effecting the redirect, but when I brought this up at our meeting he said it will convert images to the same as sites directory path url (http toor https) where images are stored otherwise you will get error messages in your console about not loading resources but we never heard of this happening with SLP website links . Are you using Network Active Multisites? Something else is converting the site links, perhaps something in your theme or in your map plugin.
What does your SLP Results Layout look like for the attribute website links? For instance Mine is “slp_result_contact slp_result_website”>[slp_location web_link] , have you modified the SLP Plugin style using CSS by any chance?
I could not reproduce your situation. The steps I took to try and reproduce
1) . I added a brand new location randomly picked off the internet, that had an http not https. I added it and copied the link to PO Melvins exactly as it appeared in my browser.
2) updated and went back to my Locations and found PO Melvins, I hovered over the link.
I have attached what it looks like in the back end, and what it looks like on the front end.
Cole do you have a test or dev site that you can load 4.5.06 Pre release on? There was another patch and we are waiting for a customer to test it before Lance releases it for production, the more people who test it the better. Thanks
Stephanie,
Sorry I have the new Power add-on so was having a time of it figuring out the issues, but now I understand , patch was supposed to be in 4.5.05 but the patch is actually in 4.5.06. Our apologies, 4.5.06 is in pre release. If you cannot find it to download and test I can email it to you. Please test the pre release if you can
CiIC
Ok, I have notified the developer that this issue is occurring, we apologize, Pre release 4.5.06 SLP Can you load it and see if it comes back
hi Chris,
Thanks for letting us know. That is curious. I would not think you would need to show it in the drop down menu but just put the parentheses around the preferred radius. Did you have to correct your CSV file?
I will discuss the “curious” radius function with Lance next time we have a meeting.
I would appreciate it if you would be willing to leave some feedback about how well the base SLP plugin has met your needs or anything you can contribute as far as what I can do better to make your experience a positive one. Just follow the yellow brick road (or in this case grey) If you like Store Locator Plus please leave a ★★★★★ rating onWordPress.org. A huge thank you from Lance and his fellow code geeks
I understand, Look under General/Data do you have a check box Enable pages visible to you? The Pages custom posts was moved under General/Data for Power release.
Colin, could you update to ProPack 4.5 please. If you click on the locations website link does it redirect correctly… please let us know if updating to ProPack 4.5 helps I have not seen this particular issue before. I noticed when I visited the site link that you have a “Google My Maps” appear on that site, is it possible that is redirecting?
I have asked Lance about the website links. He will answer you in email, when he gets time, he has some paid customizations etc going on at the moment.
Stephanie, you submitted your post in the wrong section so I split it out to post here.
When you show us your Plugin Environment that means you go to the Info Page of SLP and take a screenshot there.
I cannot see from your screen shot what versions , add-ons you have etc. What did you update from and to?
You should be able to click on the Pages tab
