 * Are there perhaps .config files or something that remain behind in wordpress 
   once a plug-in has been deactivated and/or removed?
 * This certainly seems to be the case – how else would the program remember stores
   that were input even after the original program has been removed?

 * 1) I made sure the other plug in was deactivated before I used this one. There
   might possibly have been a few seconds when they were both activated. In any 
   case, I never used both of them at the same time on the site.
    I have now deactivated
   and deleted both of them and then reinstalled Store Locator only. It has still
   remembered the store names from before and it still has the same update problem
   as before.
 * 3) I allowed the permissions that it asked for – not sure what the FTP thing 
   was about. Is there anyway I could find that message again?

 * 1) I am new to wordpress, this is the second plug-in that I have installed. The
   other one worked fine. I have definitely activated the plug-in. What is interesting
   is that this application has taken data from the other plug in I installed (SLPLUS).
   It was able to populate stores without my having to input them again.
 * 2) I did open the php files and had a browse through some of them, but I definitely
   did not edit anything. I suppose it is possible that I might have accidentally
   hit a key but I don’t think so – I could uninstall and reinstall to be sure?
 * 3) Apologies, it is my first time posting here and wasn’t sure of the forum etiquette.

 * UPDATE: when I logged in this morning and tried to update the MapDesigner settings,
   a message came up asking for permissions to certain files to ensure that updates
   where made properly. It also said something about possibly needing to FTP.
 * Thanks

 * It seems like it happens to just about everything – Zoom level, distance measurement
   units(km instead of miles), auto-locate user checkbox and even the country and
   language setting.
 * When I apply changes and press “update”, a message notifies me that changes have
   been made successfully. But if I navigate away from the page and return, they
   are set back to their defaults.
