Common Errors When Installing a wordpress store finder plugin

Even with a simple setup, users sometimes encounter issues when adding their store locator for WordPress. Below are the most common errors - and how to fix them quickly

Using the Wrong Embed Block

Many users paste their embed code into a “Text” or “Paragraph” block instead of the correct one. Fix: Use the Custom HTML block or your page builder’s Code/HTML element to paste the embed code properly.

Missing or Invalid API Key

A missing or incorrectly configured Google Maps or Mapbox API key can stop your map from loading. Fix: Double-check your API key is active, unrestricted, and entered exactly as provided.

Plugin Conflicts

Some caching, performance, or JavaScript optimization plugins interfere with your store locator functionality. Fix: Exclude the map page from caching or disable conflicting optimization plugins temporarily.

Theme or JavaScript Conflicts

Certain WordPress themes block or delay external scripts, causing your map not to load. Fix: Test using a default theme (like Twenty Twenty-Four). If it works, contact your theme developer or MapCosmos support.

Incorrect Shortcode Placement

Placing your shortcode inside a block that strips or escapes JavaScript will break your map. Fix: Always insert your shortcode or embed code directly into a Code or Custom HTML block.
