Would be a great feature.

Thanks!

Consider simply re-applying for you Google API key again. It seems you current one is wrong.

Note also that if you apply for an API key for “http://www.domain.com”, it will not work on “http://domain.com” … so always apply for the key for you domain without any “www” or subdomain in the front of the domain name.

(I’m running WordPress 2.8.6 if that helps.) The notice to automatically update store locator appeared, and I did that, but still no luck. The store locator with the generic map shows up on my test posts when I preview it with no problem, but with none of the addresses I’ve entered.I’ve tried other addresses but no luck.

Currently, under Manage locations, all are currently highlighted in a rose color, the latitude and longitude fields are empty, and when I click edit, and try to update I get the message below, same as each time I enter a new address. FYI, each entry has a name, street, city, state and zip and tags. I have a few with every field completed (description, etc.) but that didn’t seem to be the problem either. This is the message I get after adding a new entry or clicking update to an existing entry:

Address 275 West Woodruff Avenue, Columbus, Ohio 43210 failed to geocode. Received status

I also deactivated other map plugins I have installed (They work but don’t do what store locator does) in case there was a conflict perhaps, but that didn’t change anything.

Thanks very much for trying to figure out what’s wrong. I appreciate what you are trying to do with this plugin. I guess I’ll just ask if anyone else out there has had this problem and resolved it successfully to post how they did it. If not, I guess I’ll just have to figure out how to work directly with the API (learning curve ahead)!

Sincerely, thanks again.

Ava, after many attempts, I haven’t had any success replicating the “failed to geocode” error you’re receiving. In our test environment, the 4600 Taylorsville Road address geocodes perfectly.

It is possible that your current domain / API key is currently being limited / blocked by Google, but if that were the case, nothing would work, especially the displaying of the store locator on a page or a post.

By: Ava https://www.viadat.com/great-things-on-the-horizon-continue-giving-suggestions/#comment-271 https://www.viadat.com/?p=735#comment-271 I just installed the store locator plugin (version 1.2.37) and am experiencing the same problem as Kevin above. I entered an address (including name, with all fields complete and no extra white spaces) and I get the message “failed to geocode.” When I saw the exchange above, I also tried the 4600 Taylorsville Road address, but I get the same message. There must be some extra step in the installation that needs to be done? The API key is fine. If you have any suggestions please let me know as I was excited about the plugin. Thanks.

By: poppy https://www.viadat.com/great-things-on-the-horizon-continue-giving-suggestions/#comment-269 https://www.viadat.com/?p=735#comment-269 I want to setup a site that allows people to submit a doctor who will help them with a new treatment.

People have to call around on their own and see if they can find a doctor who will listen to them, so I thought it would be really cool if people could add a doctor who will help to a directory. That way they will be able to help other people with the same condition.

Can you create an option to have the Business submit form on another page so people can add a Professional or Business?

For what I’m looking for the first and last name of a provider and an optional clinic name would be great.

This theme http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-directory-plugin but it doesn’t support trying to find a doctor all over the world very well.

Speaking of all over the world would it be possible to change the “Select Your Location:” option to use a global map? I expect to get people submitting doctors from other countries.

Make sure that you are entering each part of the address into the correct field of the address form on the “Add Locations” page.
Also, make sure you have a name for the location, and try to make sure there isn’t whitespace for each part of the address when typing it in (though this shouldn’t affect geocoding)

Just tested it in version 1.2.32 and your 4600 address correctly geocoded.
