Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Simple Business Directory – AI Powered

Simple Business Directory uses Google Map which is completely free for 99% use cases. Once you add a billing account they will give you 200$ of free credit every month - recurring which is usually more than sufficient for most websites. Please check this page for more details: https://cloud.google.com/maps-platform/pricing/sheet/ My Google Map is not working with Simple Business Directory Make sure to have both API and Application restriction set to None or restrict them to your domain name properly from Credentials->API Keys->Your API->Application restrictions Ensure that ALL the API libraries are enabled including Javascript, Geocoding and Places APIs etc. Also, from the middle of 2018, Google requires you to add a Billing account. Although, for 99% cases you won't actually have to pay anything as the free usage limit is quite high for almost any use cases. Check the plugin's Help area for more details. Latitude Longitude is not generating or Address auto complete is not working with OpenStreetMap Please note that OpenStreetMap has less data and locations. So some addresses may not be found there. You can insert Latitudes and Longitudes manually for them in the Simple Business Directory. Or switch to Google map for more flexibility. Address Auto Complete, Latitude Longitude Generation not working Address autocomplete and Auto Latitude Longitude Generation will work if you set up the google map API properly. Please answer to the question above for Google Map is not working.

You have to put the short code on the WordPress oage or post page where you want to show the List/s. There is a Shortcode generator in your page or post visual editor. Use that to create shortcode and insert to your page, where you want to display the lists, easily.

Yes, all templates are mobile device friendly and Responsive.

The issue you are having with saving the Lists is because of a limitation set in your server. Your server probably has a low limit for how many form fields it will process at a time. So, after you have added a certain number of links, the server refuses to save new link items. The server’s configuration that dictates this is max_input_vars. Set it to a high limit like max_input_vars = 10000. You can do it with local php.ini file or htaccess if your server supports it, Otherwise, please contact your hosting company support if needed.
