Primary Filter Options (Theme Options)

Near Me is a search filter which is available in the search filter page. Near Me Works with GEO IP location and get the nearest locations dynamically based on the current location.

How to Enable Near Me

By default, Near Me filter option is disabled. To activate see steps below:

Step 1: Go to Theme Options > Search Filter Options

Step 2: Find the Near Me option and click on Enabled

Step 2: Click Save Changes

Near Me Options

In the Near Me options page there are 4 options available to configure.

This option is available to enable or disable Near Me option. Once enabled Near Me filter will be displayed in the search filter page. If you disable the toggle Near me will be hidden from the search filter page.

Destination In

Under the Destination In option, there are two options available. (Kilometers/Miles). You can set your preferred method how you want to filter search results. If you want to allow listing filters by Kilometers then choose Kilometers. If you want to allow listing filters by Miles then choose Miles.

Min Range

You can set the minimum range (Numerical Value) for the Min Range field as a minimum filter range. For example, if you set 5 with Destination In (Kilometers) then visitors will be only able to filter listings starting from 5 kilometers to Max range.

Max Range

You can set the maximum range (Numerical Value) for the Max Range field as a maximum filter range. For example, if you set 1000 with Destination In (Kilometers) then visitors will be only able to filter listings up to 1000 kilometers range.

When you click on the Near Me option in the frontend it will ask your location. Click to allow for analyzing your location. After allowing location you can easily filter listings based in the minimum and maximum range (As per the configuration defined in the backend).

Unable to activate license

We have recently updated our Activation process and we have seen some common scenarios where users are unable to activate ListingPro license.

SCENARIO 1

Problem:

I installed the ListingPro theme and tried to activate it using the activation code. But once I enter the purchase code, and select (Live or Test site), the Activate button does not enable and stays grayed out. It also says the code is invalid.

Solution:

It’s just the SSL configurations issue due to which ListingPro CC (Command Center) styling CSS files are not loading. You need to install an SSL plugin (Really Simple SSL) on your site to resolve this issue.

The ListingPro CC should look like the following if the CSS style file is loading correctly.

SCENARIO 2

Problem:

I update the theme to the new version. But when I enter the Purchase Code, it says my purchase code is invalid.

Solution:

The “purchase code is invalid” error usually occurs when you just update the ListingPro theme only. You must always also update all the ListingPro plugins when you update the Theme. For instructions on how to update the ListingPro Plugins and the Theme please read this article.

When I bulk import Google Addresses, the Map does not display?

NOTE: PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT THIS IS NOT A THEME-RELATED ISSUE.

ListingProWP uses the reverse geocoding technique in our theme that when you import listing with accurate and exact Google addresses, you are not required to include the latitudes and the longitudes. But after importing the data you need to visit the archive page to allow the system to automatically get the latitude and longitude for that address. Then only the maps will show properly.

If the google geocoding service is not getting lat and long from the Google address it means the function file_get_content is not working on your site due to which it does not get latitude and longitude of Google address. Contact and verify with your hosting company if file_get_content is enabled on your server. If this function is not enabled then the Lat/Long will not work.

For shared hosting users

Due to Google maps and geocoding APIs have a specific number of requests limit per day/per second and per IP address for Free, shared hosting users will also run into an issue because shared hostings only have a single IP address that is shared with multiple users and due to which Google Maps APIs will reach its limits very quick. It’s a common issue and has been discussed on many forums that people with shared hostings have issues with geocoding.

Alternate for batch GeoCoding

Only for those users who are using shared hosting or have hit a Google API limit, you can opt for other external services. Google for “batch geocode” and you may find free and paid services.
