Q: Can you help me identify the Store locator Plus add-ons that replace the add-ons now described as Legacy?
A: Power Add-on will deactivate and replace the following:
Results not showing all locations
Q: I have 20 locations filled in on the back end, but only 5 show up on the front end. What am I missing?
A: Establishing various parameters in the settings under the Settings/Search and under the Settings/ Results tab in your SLP User interface will effect how your results are displayed. Setting the Results radius to a large enough number to include all locations is paramount to achieve best results.
Getting Started , Results Settings and Search settings are also explained in the Documentation. You can search by keyword or click on the menu sidebar.
Q When I Updated to the latest version of SLP my add-on was disabled and suggested I purchase another add-on, do I have to?
A: The latest version of Store Locator Plus may have disabled your Legacy add-ons to ensure your site does not crash due to coding changes, bug fixes and updates to WP including security fixes. This is not a free auto update , you need to log into your account: Go to “MY Account” on Store Locator Plus.com and purchase the replacement for the Legacy add-ons . If you decide to roll back SLP to an earlier version. (not suggested, always be sure to have a back-up of your site. You may find back-up info in Vault Press or Jet Pack. If you do decide to downgrade SLP to an earlier version we cannot provide support and cannot make any guarantees on whether or not it will work correctly.
For compatibility and replacement info see Legacy replacements
Q: Can a store or location have more than one category assigned to it?
Can the stores be categorized by more than one taxonomy? Not multiple tags in a single taxonomy, but multiple tags from multiple taxonomies?
A: Stores only have one categorization class – the store page taxonomy.
However, WordPress Taxonomies are hierarchical. Therefore, you are able to assign all the attributes you need to your locations and use the parents of the branches to drive the user experience. The Power add-on has several UX components such as “drill down” menus that allow users to select a specific category by selecting a parent first then a child.
Adding Locations with additional features
If you have any of the Store Locator Plus featured Add-ons such as Power, Experience, or Premier add-ons , or if you have the MySLP Saas Professional or Enterprise level plan you will see additional sections when Adding (or managing) a Location.
You can opt to fill in all the rows and info that determine the Location and geocoding and hit Add button if you are done entering information. Or you can opt to continue to the next section, whether it be featured, tags, categories, or other functions that are in separate sections on the Location Add Tab.Click the “Add button” at the bottom of the next section instead.
For example, I want to add a location that also is going to have a category assigned to it. I have the latest version of the Power Add-on activated. After adding all the Location information, I do not click on the Add button under the location information but continue on down to the next section called “Power” and add whatever pertinent information I wish to add there. Once I am satisfied and have no additional data to add, I click on the Add Button under the Power section of the Locations Panel to create the location that I have just added.
The category or other additional data you just associated will appear when you review the Locations Page.

GENERAL END USER LICENSING AGREEMENT (EULA)
About Licensing Our SLP Plugin and Add-ons
One question that comes up often is about licensing for multiple sites. The base Plug-in does not require a multi-site license. We decided we’d rather keep the license part of the code light so that your server spends more time on the important stuff than checking to make sure you are in compliance. However , in order for the add-ons to work on a Network-Active Multisite WordPress configuration , an active Premier subscription will be required.
The general rule of thumb to ensure stability of the product:
Install one license PER BUSINESS site
alternately ,
with Network Active Multisites you must purchase a Premier subscription.
The policy concerning a licensed use of the purchased (also referred to as Premium) add-on packs for a Network Active multisite install requires an active Premier subscription.
We hope you enjoy our plugin & wish you success in your business!

Categories
The ability to categorize your locations using the WordPress category (taxonomy) system. The Categories Manager (Formerly known as Tagalong) is part of the Power Add-on for WPSLP self managed customers, and available for the MYSLP Professional or higher plans) It builds on the Store Locator Plus store_page taxonomy that is also used with the Pages portion of the Power Add-on (for WPSLP stand alone). Build a “simple flat list” of categories or a hierarchical (parent/child) category structure. Once you’ve categorized locations you will find other added benefits on the user interface.
