Provide your plugin environment AND the direct URL to your live site running under WP 4.5. Or spin up a WP Engine staging site and upgrade THAT to 4.5.
Most likely you have another plugin, not SLP, that has a broken JavaScript file when it runs under WP 4.5.
The Google Maps No API warning is a non-issue. You can get an API key and put it in under the General / Server tab but it is not necessary.
One of your scripts loading on the page is disabling all web console output. Disabling the console logging is a neat way to hide errors and warnings in code, but it is stops virtually all problem debugging when you find some JavaScript is not loading, like the Google Maps loader. Which is exactly what is happening on your site.
Something in JavaScript is breaking. Unfortunately one of your plugins or themes decided it is better to hide JavaScript errors which means we have no way of telling exactly what broke. Maybe a SLP script, but probably not.
If you can figure out what plugin (or WP Theme option, or CDN / cache / minification process) is doing that we can probably help you figure out what script is breaking in WP 4.5.
SLP is fully tested in WP 4.5. I have contributed to 4.5 (and 4.4) WordPress Core and have been testing the 4.5 release for nearly 4 months through each-and-every iteration while developing updates for my plugin.
If you don’t have a way to figure out which plugin is disabling logging you’ll need to do the one-at-a-time deactivation until you see real console logs in JavaScript and/or the SLP map re-appears.
I like Divi theme, but there are literally thousands of themes that work well with Store Locator Plus. Maybe it is time to start a new post on this site that lists some of the themes we know of and have tested and allow users to comment on their theme experience.
BTW, make sure your WP site is not blocking WP REST API.
@Dimitiri – FYI – Pages requires WordPress 4.4 with the REST API enabled. If you disable the REST API your pages will not pull data properly which means no location details and not map. On one of the URLs above it appears the wpjson REST interface is disabled or has been relocated.
Yes, you can force your own map on any page using code like that you posted her but it will NOT update if you ever change your location data. That lat/long is fixed at the position you set.
The other issue is that you are now loading a script “inline” versus using the WordPress enqueue commands. This is not recommended and can have all kinds of side effects as WordPress has zero information about the script and how it may impact others.
This technique works but mileage may vary and future updates can be problematic for WordPress, Store Locator Plus, your WordPress Theme and other plugins.
The reason your Pages map was not loading normally is because your WordPress theme (or another plugin) is loading the Google Maps JavaScript on EVERY PAGE versus just the pages it needs to render a map on. That is also against WordPress best practices; however I understand that some themes are just too cool to pass up regardless of what bad habits they may bring with them.
@wselwood – try selecting a small subset of pages first. Start setting manage locations to display 100 locations, check the “select all” box and permanently delete pages. Those 100 locations should no longer show a linked page in the pages column.
Then select the same 100 locations and use the bulk action create page.
If that works try a larger subset of locations.
It is very possible that trying to do 9,000 pages at once is overloading your WordPress server. It SHOULD do SOME of the pages even if it crashes due to resource issues, but try 100 locations at a time first.
Also make sure you try first with the default template. I’m not sure what WordPress 4.4+ will do with extra quotes in shortcodes. They really buggered up the shortcode processor in the name of “security”.
Are you editing each individual page and not the Page Template under the Pages tab?
You need to go to the Store Locator Plus / Pages tab and set your template there, then go to the Locations / Manage subtab and create/recreate your pages. Keep in mind any edits you made on each individual page is overwritten.
Read this article for assistance:
Generating Store PagesAlso, in Pages 4.4 there are specific shortcodes for setting the email hyperlink automatically, as well as one for a location map and website link. It is part of the default template. You may want to copy out whatever your existing template code is now to save it and then delete it (set the field completely blank) and save settings. The default page template for Pages 4.4 should be restored. It will likely have a lot of elements you want it will certainly have WordPress 4 friendly shortcode formatting without quotes.
Rest API support is built into the base SLP plugin and WordPress 4.4.
To use any data modification endpoints you will need to use a WordPress REST API compatible authentication plugin. They are listed on the WordPress REST API version 2 doc pages. I recommend the oAuth plugin over the Basic Auth plugin for security reasons.
All of the SLP REST API endpoints are listed in the include/class.handler.rest.php file. The endpoints and methods are self explanatory.
If you provide your actual locator URL we might be able to provide more insight.
Your Experience add-on is out-of-date. I’ve emailed the latest 4.4.07 version which is available under My Account here.
Use your site management login (cPanel or FTP) and remove the wp-content/plugins/slp-experience directory.
Login to admin and upload/activate the 4.4.07 version of Experience that I emailed (or you downloaded).
Something on your site is forcing jQuery 1.5.
Store Locator Plus requires the WordPress standard jQuery , or at least version 1.7 or higher.
One of the core contributors, a member of the plugin review team, and a very talented plugin developer describes the issue better than I can here:

In short, the other developers are doing something that is very much frowned upon and not a good idea when building WordPress apps.
This is not possible at this time using the built-in options. It has been added to the requested features list for future consideration.
Appears you now have an issue with Store Pages, so we are on a completely different topic here.
You have an issue with how your Pages template is constructed.
Please paste the full page template you have crafted here. It is not parsing properly.
Also be advised that WordPress changed how shortcodes handle quotes. It cannot handle shortcodes with quotes for attributes within an HTML element that has quotes. There has been a lot of controversy over this move by WordPress but they refuse to change their position citing security concerns. It may require some creative templates to do what you want, but let’s start with pasting your Page template setting here.
Provide your public site URL and I can tell you what is wrong with your WP setup. Without that I cannot venture a guess as to what may be interfering.
99% of the time it is another plugin or something in your theme that has messed up their JavaScript implementation.
