    Hi – I’ve recently updated all my GeoDirectory plug-ins (using v.1.4.3) but now experiencing issues with my Near Me function. When selecting near me, the listings show but the map doesn’t zoom in? My directory is country wide (Australia) so I really need to get this near me map function to show correctly again (I have the near me radius set to 35km).

    I also have the ‘do you wish to be geolocated…?) pop-up activated, when clicking yes it will show the blue pulsing location marker but again doesn’t zoom the map in, just leaves it set to country wide. Users have to manually scroll into see their location and what’s around them?

    How can I fix this please?!

    Cheers

    Hi again – I have just deleted and re-applied the ‘Near Me’ widget into a different section on my home page and it appears to be working again! (So please ignore original post).

    The only issue I’m trying to work through now is setting the map zoom level, if I select a level (which I’ve noticed only seems to work if you deselect the ‘Map Auto Zoom’) to make the map/country show a bit larger on the home page, then the near me function no longer zooms in to the close up view – I’m assuming there’s no way around this as once you select the map zoom level then the settings stick regardless of selecting near me?

    It’s not a deal breaker but the geographical area that shows on my map on the home page is massive!

    Thanks

    G’day mate. Why don’t you just the auto-zoom? It will automatically adjust to the listings shown on your map? Or am I missing the point?

    Setting the zoom level is really only recommended for maps that have only one listing on them, for example on the detail page.

    Hey – I have been using the auto zoom but when you first arrive at the homepage, it shows the whole of Australia, New Zealand, PNG, Indonesia, Malaysia and Mozambique (which is a bit too much!). Ideally I would prefer if it just showed Australia…

    Cheers

    I suggest adjusting your map size then, that should fix it.
    Increase the height or decrease the width.
