    Hello,

    Is there a way for users to be asked if they would like to be geolocated as soon as they visit the landing page? Right now, users don’t get the geolocate request prompt until after they’ve actually searched for what they want. At that point, after they select yes to be geolocated, the system resets their search and they have to start over. Can this be fixed?

    My website is: http://www.thatlocalshop.com

    Thanks,

    Dave

    Hi Dave,

    You’ll need to enable SSL on your Website to allow “Geolocation”. Check out this article https://wpgeodirectory.com/adding-a-ssl-certificate-to-your-website/

    Hello Kor,

    The geolocation works, it just doesn’t prompt users when they first enter the site. Instead, it prompts them after they’ve selected which category they would like to go to, after which it sets the geolocator and then requires them to start their search all over again. It’s at this point that the geolocator is set for the user and is issue free. Even without the SSL, the geolocator works with almost every browser except google. For instance, outside of the issue that I’m concerned with, it works great with internet explorer. How do I get the geolocator to prompt the user as soon as they enter the site? I’m not sure that users like when their search gets reset. I would rather the site geolocate them before they start searching.

    Thanks,

    Dave

    Hello Kor,

    I added an SSL. The geolocation prompt seems to work good with internet explorer, but doesn’t prompt at all with google. Can this be fixed?

    Thanks,

    Hi,

    as you can see from the alert icon next to your domain, you are still serving insecure content on your page. Like images.

    You need to install the better search and replace plugin and search all instances of the domain with http:// and replace it with https://

    Let us know how it goes,

    Thanks
