WordPress PHP 8.1 Compatibility August 2022

Posted by lcleveland in Map Software, Store Locator Plus, WPSLP

We have received a couple of reports about Store Locator Plus® for WordPress not working with PHP 8.1.  The  WordPress PHP 8.1 compatibility is officially listed as “not compatible” in January 2022 and remains that way today (August 20th, 2022).   There is no official release date for WordPress on PHP 8.0 or PHP 8.1 at this time.

Officially WordPress supports PHP 7.4.  As such, Store Locator Plus® for WordPress is only officially supported on PHP 7.4.

Users of the Store Locator Plus® SaaS service don’t have to worry about this. We’ve taken care of ensuring the location service is running on a stable platform

WordPress PHP 8.0 Status

However, we have tested WordPress on PHP 8.0 along with the latest release of theStore Locator Plus® for WordPress plugin.  It does appear to be working normally without notable warnings or errors.   While not officially supported, we do believe you can run WordPress and Store Locator Plus® for WordPress on PHP 8.0 without any issues.   With that in mind, we are providing support and patching services for the Store Locator Plus® for WordPress with PHP 8.0 installations.

Store Locator Plus® Release Notes
SaaS 2022.08.08 / WordPress 5.14

Store Locator Plus® has been updated for the early August 2022 release.   This impacts both the WordPress plugins and the SaaS product.     Users of the WordPress plugins will need to download and update to the latest releases.   SaaS users will see these updates automatically.

MySLP SaaS All Levels

A patch has been put into place on the JavaScript core method that reduces network I/O from REST API calls when rendering map labels.    The pre-patched version would consider various labels as not being set if a user was setting a label to an empty string.  This created a REST API call for every location that was being displayed to fetch new label information.  This patch reduces those calls to a single REST API request per page render versus per-location rendered.

MySLP SaaS Professional and Enterprise Updates

This release patches search form name labels and the name placeholder.   These settings were not being honored.  The functionality has been restored.

The map search form “Hide Address Entry” has been patched to hide ONLY the address input box, not the entire search form.

Version Info

The changes noted above can be found in the following update.

Store Locator Plus® (SaaS Edition) : 2022.08.08
Store Locator Plus® for WordPress: 5.14.X
Store Locator Plus® for WP : Experience: 5.14.X
