<p>You can also view the <a href="https://docs.storelocatorplus.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">Product Documentation</a> for more information.</p>
<p>Officially supports PHP 7.4.</p>
<p>Tested successfully with PHP 8.0.</p>

It may work, but PHP 8.1 made breaking changes to static method variables.<br />
This has not been fully tested with PHP 8.1.</p>
<h4>Our Philosophy</h4>
<p>We strive to create code that runs efficiently and without bugs. Well-written plugins are few and far between. While there are plenty of plugins that look nice, many of those plugins, including the “cool shiny ones” have hidden problems. Over 90% of the plugins available on the WordPress plugin directory generate dozens, if not hundreds, of warnings and errors when you turn off the “hide all the problems” (WP_DEBUG) settings.</p>
<p>These hidden problems impact memory usage, fill up disk space, and reduce performance. While you may not see the errors on your WordPress site, they are still being tracked. The more errors, the more disk I/O, the slower the app.</p>
<p>We have found that leaving “innocuous” warnings in place tends to lead to trouble further down the road. Warnings today often become errors tomorrow. Many programming languages, PHP included, continue to tighten security and close loopholes that are typically found living near warning messages. Some warnings are telling you to “change this now, it will be gone tomorrow”. Eventually tomorrow will come.</p>
<p>We try to make sure that all the hidden stuff you don’t see is designed as well as it can be. When we do hear about a bug we fix it fast.</p>
<p>We like to write plugins that last. We hope you appreciate our work.</p>

Map Me

Unlike all other insanely advanced google maps plugins that have not got any of their features working smoothly, this one does as long as you do what the author says.

Usability wise this plugin is less powerful as it is technically. That's why I'm leaving you here with the following feedback:

- Try to implement validations with well explained error messages. For example at the settings page you have to make sure the user enters location parameters to center the map on but none of those fields are required.
- Make sure you show/explain/give the user all information to make the user aware of the capabilities the user got. For example you simply display a text area at the short description field when adding a location marker. But you can enter HTML there so why don't you show the WYSIWYG editor included with WordPress or give a little hint?

Features I would change/remove are:
- Selecting a predefined map style, why not store the "snazzymaps" configuration in the database and shortly tell users how they can do it their self. I know this is not making it easier but customizability is way more important here. You can also do both :)
- Center map on the specified address. Why not center on a long/lat coordinate or on the center of the (selected) marker locations

Simpel but not that easy

Easy and fast way to embed google map into your site. Choose between more than 20 beautiful map themes, add multiple locations, info windows and more.
