FAQ
Does it require WooCommerce?
Section titled “Does it require WooCommerce?”Yes. Locator registers under the WooCommerce menu and requires WooCommerce to be active.
Does it show a map?
Section titled “Does it show a map?”The free version is a searchable list or grid — no map key needed. Map embedding is planned for the Pro add-on.
Do I need a map API key?
Section titled “Do I need a map API key?”No. The free directory works without any key or external API. The Get directions link opens the visitor’s own map app using the store’s coordinates or postal address.
Can I change the layout?
Section titled “Can I change the layout?”Yes — choose List or Grid in WooCommerce → Store Locator, or pass layout="grid" to the shortcode to override it on a specific page.
How does the search work?
Section titled “How does the search work?”It filters the cards already on the page by city, postcode or store name, entirely in the browser. No data leaves the page, so it is instant.
Does the directory work without JavaScript?
Section titled “Does the directory work without JavaScript?”Yes. Every location renders server-side, so the full list shows with JavaScript disabled. The instant search box is added on top when JavaScript is available.
How do I choose which details show on each card?
Section titled “How do I choose which details show on each card?”In WooCommerce → Store Locator, under Visible fields — toggle address, opening hours, phone, email and the Get directions link.
Can I override the markup?
Section titled “Can I override the markup?”Yes. Copy templates/locator-list.php into your-theme/locator/locator-list.php and edit your theme copy.
Will it slow my pages down?
Section titled “Will it slow my pages down?”No. Locator only enqueues its CSS and JavaScript on pages that contain the shortcode, and renders without layout shift.
