 * Is there a way that I can force the location search to work? I have to recreate
   locations each time I create an event and I end up with duplicates. I can work
   around this with location dropdowns I guess, but doing that adds extra steps 
   to the process.

 * location autocomplete should work? or settings > general > general options > 
   Use dropdown for locations?

 * if it’s not showing an auto-completer, you may have other plugins causing a conflict.
 * to check that, try disabling other plugins and or use the default theme temporarily
   to see if it works.

 * Thanks for responding Marcus. I figured it out!
 * The feature was working in the back-end but not in the front-end, so I guessed
   it might not be a plugin conflict.
 * I then realized that in the back-end, the page was loaded using HTTPS but not
   the front-end. When I forced the front-end page to load using HTTPS, the location
   search worked.

 * What are you using to force HTTPS in the backend? I’m curious because provided
   you have a valid SSL certificate it should still work if you use e.g. [http://codex.wordpress.org/Administration_Over_SSL](http://codex.wordpress.org/Administration_Over_SSL)

 * I put the following lines in my wp-config.php file to force the HTTPS:
 * `define('FORCE_SSL_ADMIN', true);`
    `define('FORCE_SSL_Workspace Login', true);`
 * The HTTPS/WordPress issue has be frustrating to deal with as well. I find that
   when I force the HTTPS using the above method, it forces HTTPS on ALL my pages
   which ruins the javascript elements on my pages and/or I get the annoying warning
   message in the address bar that my site is not secure. This only happened with
   Chrome. I didn’t have those issues when I used FireFox.
 * I only need HTTPS for my login page right now but this may change in the future.
 * To resolve that issue I installed an plugin called “Force non-SSL” which seemed
   to fix everything, except for the location search.
 * Removing the force HTTPS lines from my wp-config.php file and calling up the 
   login page with a https link was my solution for now.
 * So I basically ran around in a huge circle and pretty much ended up back where
   I started! LOL
