Details for the Enterprise level SaaS service. Many features are present in the SLP for WordPress : Premier plugin.
Locations are added to Store Locator Plus® via the sidebar menu via the locations submenu. This option presents a list of all locations along with a menu option to add a location via a web form.
If you have many locations to add you can import them via a CSV import file.
(This section has been updated to reflect updates in SLP version 5.5.)
There are settings under the General tab for Admin , User Interface, (Server and Data tabs in earlier versions, now are included under the APP tab). This documentation has been updated to reflect the Google API changes for our WPSLP self managed plug-in customers. The tab “App” Map is where you will enter your own Google API keys. MySLP customers do not need to worry about that. We do it for them.
The Admin tab is where your SLP Premier subscription Accounts ID , Log Schedule Messages, and other info is located. There is also a Reset Manage Locations button available for use to reset the back end Manage Locations display page to the default view (10 locations per page view). This feature was previously only available with the free SLP Janitor Add-on.
WPSLP Premier customers will need to add their User ID and subscription ID under the Store Locator Plus / General /Admin tab. To find your Premier account information, log into WordPress Store Locator plus account .

Our software-as-a-service platform, MySLP, runs on many different web builders and mobile frameworks. If you are using MySLP you cannot easily create pages that contain the [slp_directory] shortcode used in the Store Locator Plus WordPress plugins. There is another way to do this with our SaaS offering.
This new MySLP feature makes it easy to add a directory of locations to any platform. Display your location directory on Weebly, Wix, WordPress, or any website management platform that supports JavaScript.
When using MySLP you typically add your locations and set your map experience properties. The next step is to go to the Generate Embed page on your account dashboard to get the JavaScript needed to display the locator search form and map on your site.
When displaying a directory, you normally do not want the location search and map to appear. You can use the data-presentation attribute with your script to tell MySLP what type of location presentation you would like to show on your site.
Here is a full script example from our test server — you can see where we added data-presentation=”directory” to the standard embed script.
<script id="MySLP"
type="text/javascript"
src="https://dashboard.test/front-end/location.js"
data-presentation="directory"
data-api-key="myslp.8322ee3d5681db51162fa332d76f74171b80b89f7a15df054c989f2d75f91a08"
data-rest-path="//dashboard.test/enterprise_at_slp_dot_guru/wp-json/myslp/v2/locations-map"
data-div-id="MySLP-map-wrap">
</script>Adding data-presentation=”directory” to the script will use the directory style presentation where the <script…> embed appears versus the standard MySLP output.
The default setup for the directory style presentation is to show a list of states (or provinces) in a list.
Clicking on a state will show a list of locations using the results layout configuration you have set for Store Locator Plus®.
By default there is no search form, map, Store Locator Plus® tagline, or distance displayed.
You can style the directory output by manipulating the CSS on the site where the script has been embedded. The method for adding custom CSS will depend on the platform you are using to host your site.
To create a horizontal list of states, add the following CSS rules (learn more about flex styling at this site) to your site:
.slp_directory_list.slp_directory_style_list {
display: flex;
flex-wrap: wrap;
justify-content: space-between;
}
.slp_directory_entry {
padding: 0 5px;
}
Premier Subscription Licenses must be validated on the primary site of a multi-site install. This is typically the FIRST site in your site list, but can be changed via wp-config. If you are using multi site you should know which site is the primary Blog ID. Adding your Premier id and your license on your sub sites will not validate the WPSLP Premier license. (This information only applies to WordPress SLP and not MYSLP.
Communication with the SLP license server is required for any licenses to be validated. You can check if standard web requests are working between your WordPress install and SLP. This can be tested from within your PHP environment with a simple PHP script that uses a ‘curl’ or ‘file get contents ‘operation.
You can also click on the Store Locator Plus / info tab in the back end of the plug-in. If you are seeing “Latest News” with fairly current dates then the problem is most likely not a blocked communications via a firewall. In those cases the issue is most likely an incorrectly typed subscription ID or you have entered the info on the wrong site of a multi-site install.
Our MYSLP Enterprise level users or WPSLP Premier subscribers will find several additional map controls to enable or disable built-in Google Map elements. A simple checkbox allows users to turn the Full Screen and zoom controls on or off in addition to the previously-available Hide “Stick Man” , scale, and type controls.
This option is also available to WordPress plugin users with an active Premier subscription.

The text entered in this setting will be replaced with a long pause (,,) in the telephone dialer hyperlink when the Use Dial Link For Phone option is enabled.
included with MySLP Enterprise and/or WPSLP Premier.
Employ telephone dialer links with extension pauses by turning on the Use Dial Link For Phone option and setting the Phone Extension Delimiter option.
When both are enabled the links for phone numbers are set to the defacto tel: hyperlink and if a phone number contains the text specified by the Phone Extension Delimiter option it will insert a long pause at that point before continuing to dial.
This method uses the oft-support comma placeholder, adding two commas to extend the pause to allow for slower phone systems to catch up and wait for the extension to be entered.
This output behavior will appear on results under the map, directory landing pages, and store pages.
*Included with WPSLP Premier subscription or MySLP Enterprise level Subscriptions. 
The Horizontal or Vertical Checkbox Category Selector feature is available for WPSLP Premier or MySLP Enterprise level subscription customers. The checkbox works with an “OR” selection based on the Parent category. With Premier or Enterprise you will see additional category selectors under the Settings/Search/Category section. For example : If you check the [] red and [] blue boxes on the category selector it will show any location in the red OR blue category.
The locations loading indicator shows your visitors that the server is working on returning a list of locations.
