Managing the database == Frequently Asked Questions == = What are the minimum requirements for SimpleMap? = You must have: * WordPress 2.8 or later * PHP 5 (or PHP 4 with the SimpleXML extension loaded), DOMDocument class = How do I put SimpleMap on my website? = Simply insert the following shortcode into any page or post: `[simplemap]` = I've put in the shortcode, but my map isn't showing up. Why? = First, check to make sure you have a Google Maps API key entered on the General Options page. The map won't display if you don't have a key. If the search form is showing up, but the map is blank, it's probably a Javascri pt error. Check to see if any other plugins are throwing Javascript errors befor e the SimpleMap Javascript gets loaded. = What is the "Special Location Label"? = This is meant to flag certain locations with a specific label. It shows up in th e search results with a gold star next to it. Originally this was developed for an organization that wanted to highlight people that had been members for more t han ten years. It could be used for something like that, or for "Favorite Spots, " or "Free Wi-Fi," or anything you want. You can also leave it blank to disable it. = Why can't my map load more than 100 search results at a time? = On most browsers, loading more than 100 locations at once will really slow thing s down. In some cases, such as a slower internet connection, it can crash the br owser completely. I put that limit on there to prevent that from happening. = Can I suggest a feature for SimpleMap? = Of course! Visit [the SimpleMap home page](http://simplemap-plugin.com/) to do s o. = What if I have a problem with SimpleMap, or find a bug? = Please visit [the SimpleMap forums at WordPress.org](http://wordpress.org/tags/s implemap?forum_id=10) if you have a bug to report. Otherwise, you may access pre mium support inside the plugin dashboard. == Upgrade Notice == * Minor update to workaround conflict with AddThis plugin.
