Store display issue: Possible issue with upgrade to WP 4.5?

Are you using some kind of cache? Cloudflare / W3 Total Cache or something else? If so you should flush the cache and see if that fixes it.

It looks like the old underscore library, or the old JS from the WPSL plugin is still used. At least that’s only time I have seen that code show up.

Tijmen,
There is in fact caching, but repeated flushes haven’t affected the issue (nor has turning off the caching entirely).

However, I did some more digging and found that the version currently installed is 2.1.1 (the previous developer must’ve made changes to the WPSL code, because a “Block Plugin Updates” function is blocking any new updates to WPSL.. Sigh…

Is it possible that version 2.1.1 has that underscore library or old JS that you were talking about above? That would at least let me know if that’s a place to start looking to solve this.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP. It’s very much appreciated

2.1.1 uses code that worked with the underscore version that shipped with WP 4.4 and lower. 2.1.2 includes a small change that also makes it work with the underscore version that ships with 4.5, so updating the plugin will fix your problem.

You can download the original 2.1.1 version and compare it with the files you have now to check if any modifications where made.

Let me know if you can upgrade the plugin or not. Because I think you will only need to change two lines of code to fix this problem. But if you can install the automatic updates, then that would be easier for in the future as well.

You were 100% correct, Tijmen — Wow, this is such a great plugin and you support the heck out of it. Major kudos.

It was the old version causing this issue, mixed with some VERY VERY STUBBORN caching from GoDaddy’s managed WordPress service. (Seriously, their cache takes like a full 12 hours to clear sometimes, even when using the flush cache feature.. )

Last night I ran a diff on the plugin vs the repo version (actually using Wordfence’s scan to find differences) and reincorporated them into the newly updated version of your plugin. After finally getting the cache to clear, all seems to be working wonderfully.

I wish the original developers of the site I’m working on realized that you’d added the ability to externalize templates into the theme. That would’ve been much easier to maintain than overwriting WPSL’s code..

Having this same issue and can not update the plugin due to customization’s for our store locator. Tijmen, could you point out the 2 lines of code that may need to change?

It seems my version is even older though. 2.0.3
