Title: Cannot get categorizer working Last modified: August 30, 2016 --- # Cannot get categorizer working * Resolved [petecogle](https://wordpress.org/support/users/petecogle/) * (@petecogle) * [10 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-get-categorizer-working/) * I’ve just purchased and installed Categorizer. * I’ve chosen Day of the Week as Category with individual days of the week as sub- categories. * I’m implemented the [SL-CATEGORY-SEARCH-FORM] at [http://swoovefitness.com/test](http://swoovefitness.com/test). * Using the test data Day Of Week Monday RH16 2NJ Haywards Heath Within 50 Miles * This geocodes the location on the store finder page ([http://swoovefitness.com/find-a-class/](http://swoovefitness.com/find-a-class/)) as the address: RH16 2NJ, Haywards Heath Monday * This doesn’t geocode at all. * I know that putting in a city, or having the Auto-Locate User running it geocodes perfectly. * What am I doing wrong? I can’t find any decent documentation on this at all. * Pete Cogle * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/store-locator/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/store-locator/) Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total) * Plugin Author [Viadat](https://wordpress.org/support/users/viadat/) * (@viadat) * [10 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-get-categorizer-working/#post-6809945) * 1) First go to: **WP Admin > Store Locator > MapDesigner > “Defaults”** section** > “JS & CSS Loading”** option * … set it to “All Pages”. * 2) Then, it appears your site is showing “403 Forbidden” when trying to load Categorizer’s JavaScript and CSS stylesheet — please make sure that your site isn’t blocking the /sl-uploads/addons/ path or directory, which possibly can happen with a over-restrictive .htaccess, robots.txt, or security plugin setting * Thread Starter [petecogle](https://wordpress.org/support/users/petecogle/) * (@petecogle) * [10 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-get-categorizer-working/#post-6809989) * I have set the “All Pages” as requested. * I don’t have a robots.txt file implemented. I don’t have a security plugin loaded and my .htaccess file looks like this: * # BEGIN WordPress RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}!- d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] # END WordPress * I get the same result.

Trial and Error. * It geocodes when the Category Filtering boxes are left unchecked. * It does not geocode when the Category Filtering boxes (Show Category Checkbox Filters) are checked. * I don’t know why this is. Is it a bug? * Plugin Author [Viadat](https://wordpress.org/support/users/viadat/) * (@viadat) * [10 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-get-categorizer-working/#post-6810020) * Ok, sounds good. Upon activation, your Categorizer addon should have … * 1. Automatically created a “{WP prefix}sl_category” table 2. Automatically added a “sl_category” field to the “{WP prefix}store_locator” table.
