    Upon trying to update the settings for WP Store Locator I run into an issue. None of the check boxes for settings Like Show the search radius dropdown? or Make the store name clickable if a store URL exists? stay checked upon pressing save changes. It says Settings saved.at the top after the page reloads but when you look at the options that were checked they are unchecked again. Any ideas?

    Here is the link to what secure server plus is:

    Unfortunately they cant turn it off because its a whole server setting and they have to bring the server down and remove everything causing down time.

    I did have them turn the firewalls off and still got the same thing as before, no change.

    Here is the response after further investigation by my hosting company, any ideas?

    Hello,

    I’ve checked the POST request and poked around the code for the check boxes. I’m seeing the POST request sending that the check box is checked and the code (wp-store-locator/admin/class-settings.php) setting another variable with that information. How it passes that information to MySQL afterwards, I don’t know.

    I believe there is a problem somewhere else in the code as other things I update on the backend do update. I suggest reinstalling the plugin and see if that fixes the problem. Baring that, you may need to talk with the developers of the plugin to get a better idea what is causing the problem.

    Since I can’t find anything wrong with Apache, PHP, or WordPress itself, I’d like to let you know that wordpress pulgins are not covered under our Fully Managed Support. The plugin does fall under Best Effort Support, which means while we’ll can’t guarantee the installation, configuration, or maintenance of the software, we’ll do our best.

    I have no idea to be honest, other then that secure server plus is somehow messing with the submitted checkbox values.

    This is the first time in 2 1/2 years since I released this plugin that someone can only save certain settings. Others who had issues with the settings page where always caused by other plugins, or had custom user roles ( I assume you are a normal admin? ) but you tested it with all of the other plugins disabled and it still didn’t work.

    I don’t know how many checkbox settings you want to change, but maybe it’s a quicker solution at this point to just hardcode the setting you want in the class-settings.php for the checkboxes.

    If you let me know which on you want to change, then I can give you the code to do it.
