Hi Darren
As far as I know you should not mix http and https on your site, it could lead to a very bad user experience.
I’ll alert Paolo to your topic too.

Is your website set to https or http? (in the WordPress settings/General).

You should set the address to https so all your urls will be with the https

Still looking into it, the last time i changed it in settings from http to https the site went down for some time so i’m a little unsure if i want to try it again. also i still can’t find anything in Birmingham in the search bar. and i can’t seem to find how to add the Near Me Button to the top menu.

the Near Me Button is a widget and will require a widget area to add it near the top menu.

You could also add it programattically with the_widget() WordPress API function https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_widget, using the filter wp_nav_menu_items

https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/wp_nav_menu_items/

You will find plenty of examples via google on how to use that filter.

Fort the search problem we would need a URL and wp admin credentials please.

Thanks

i have also noticed that if i let the autofill find birmingham or any other town/city then you can’t remove it or change it to any other city!

Hi,

this is what I get if I search window cleaner in birmingham: http://idleme.com/?geodir_search=1&stype=gd_place&s=window+cleaning&snear=&set_location_type=3&set_location_val=15&sgeo_lat=&sgeo_lon=
ù
You can move out from that city, because you don’t have the location switcher in place. I thought by now this would be clear to all members…

Thanks

Hi Paulo

you have used the autofill to find birmingham, if you just type birmingham then hit the search button it finds nothing.
http://idleme.com/?geodir_search=1&stype=gd_place&s=window+cleaner&snear=birmingham&sgeo_lat=33.5206608&sgeo_lon=-86.80248999999998

if i search for any other major city in the same way then it works i.e. london, manchester, liverpool etc.. so i can’t see why it won’t find anything for birmingham?

also i only removed the location switcher the other day as i didn’t see the point of having it there. now i know you can’t reset the search field without it i may have put it back in.

my other concerns are that if you use the autocomplete then it show shows listing in that city and not around that city. i will have a play around with the autocomplete on or off and see what happens.

Hi Darren,

Please check now, there was a problem detecting the homepage url with the https, i have changed this in core and maps etc work now.

The featured member widget you talk about is a slider widget and can only be used once on the page (you have it twice).

Thanks,

Stiofan

Hi,

for the search part, Google Maps API is returning Lat and Long for a Birmingham in Alabama.

If you search for “birmingham uk” it works.

Thanks
