Hyperlink Phone Dialer

Posted by lcleveland in MySLP SaaS, Store Locator Plus, WPSLP

The dial by phone feature stopped working in a recent update to Store Locator Plus®. This impacted both the self-managed WordPress plugins as well as our fully managed My Store Locator Plus® service users.

The patch is available in the Experience add on version 4.9.22 for WordPress users; WordPress plugin users will need to download and install the latest release. MySLP users already have the updated software and will have the dialing feature back online by the time they read this.

Dial By Phone is a feature that wraps the phone number links in the location lists in a link with a de-facto standard tel: prefix. For users visiting your site from a mobile phone the on-phone browser will automatically dial the number when a user clicks the link.

Location Map and Directory Listing Improvements

Several changes have made it into the October 2018 release of My Store Locator Plus®. The updates include features users of the mapping and directory service have been asking for since the start of the summer.

Faster map loads

Users that generate embed codes for their Weebly, Wix, Squarespace or other sites will notice a small change to the code — we now serve up a minified JavasScript snippet. The compressed code will load faster and take up less memory on your site. Mobile users visiting your site will like that.

Users that have already embedded the map may want to grab the new embed code by logging into MySLP and copying the code from Generate Embed.

Store Locator Plus updates and Patches

With so many changes in the wind these days about APIs and the speed in which the Google MAP API terms of service in their “cloud” platform have been happening , we are always thankful when our customers point out changes that have occurred in the WPSLP functionality. Thank you to our forum poster, Paul , for pointing us in the right direction by deactivating Power and exposing the zoom issue. If you discover something isn’t working the way it used to, check for updates. Posting in the WordPress Store Locator Plus forums is the best way to bring issues to our attention. Providing your Plugin environment , as Paul did, helps us the most. The more people who post the issue with a screenshot of their plug-in environment, the more likely we are to believe it really might be a bug in SLP.
