The 'near' search field

[mishkat]

Hello,

The near search bar only locates city. How can I make it so that when someone enters the state, it will pull up that item too.

Hello,

Thanks for reaching out! You should be able to search by state using the “Near” field…you can see how this works on our demo site. I just did a quick test, and I was able to search both by the full state name and the two letter abbreviation. If this isn’t working on your site, the first thing to check would be that everything is configured correctly regarding maps. The following articles should be helpful:

If it still isn’t working, then the next step would be to run through the instructions outlined here to check for any conflicts that might be occurring with your theme or another plugin.

If you need further help with this, could you please send me a link to your events page and share your full system info with me?

Thanks,

Jennifer
