Title: custom markers Last modified: August 22, 2016 --- # custom markers * Resolved [kitkat13](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kitkat13/) * (@kitkat13) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-markers-2/) * Hi Timjin: * i updated all my plugins including Store Locator for wp this a.m. Before the update I had custom markers for the store locations. When i went to the map after the update my custom locators are gone and are no longer an option in the choices i see in the admin. Is there a reason why? * also, is there a way to specify an alternate marker size? * Thanks. * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-store-locator/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-store-locator/) Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total) * Plugin Author [Tijmen Smit](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tijmensmit/) * (@tijmensmit) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-markers-2/#post-5169011) * You probably added them to the /img/marker folder? If you update a plugin the files are removed and then replaced with the new ones, so you will loose any custom changes you made. * If you place the custom marker back in the correct folder, then it should show up. * I will add a filter for this in the next release, so you can specify a custom folder outside of the plugin folder for your markers. That way you won’t loose any changes when you update. * If you open the wpsl-gmap.js file in the js folder and search for ‘function addMarker’. Then you will see this piece of code, you can change the number to define the correct marker format. * ``` mapIcon = { url: markerPath, scaledSize: new google.maps.Size( 24,35 ), origin: new google.maps.Point( 0,0 ), anchor: new google.maps.Point( 12,35 ) }; ``` * Thread Starter [kitkat13](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kitkat13/) * (@kitkat13) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-markers-2/#post-5169327) * Hi: * Haven’t had time to follow up until now. Thank you so much for the prompt reply. Went in and placed the icons back in the folder. I am able to see and select them in the setting menu but they don’t display on the live site. Instead the map shows, but no marker. If I switch the choice back to one of your markers it, shows again. Could this be a conflict with the latest wp upgrade or something else? * thank you!!! * ps. eagerly awaiting the premium version. * [dave9966](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dave9966/) * (@dave9966) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-markers-2/#post-5169329) * Hey where abouts can I go to change the markers? I would like to use the logo of a company as the store markers. * Thanks in advance! * Plugin Author [Tijmen Smit](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tijmensmit/) * (@tijmensmit) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-markers-2/#post-5169330) * [@kitkat13](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kitkat13/) if you select your custom marker, then go the locator page and do view source ( ctrl + u in Firefox), then search for ‘var wpslSettings’ ( ctrl + f ). Does the name it says after startMarker and storeMarker match with the filename of your custom marker? * You did create two version? marker.png and [marker@2.png](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-markers-2/marker@2.png?output_format=md)? * [@dave9966](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dave9966/) did you read my first answer? You can place it in the /img/marker folder in the store locator plugin folder. Then it should show up on the setting page. * Thread Starter [kitkat13](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kitkat13/) * (@kitkat13) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-markers-2/#post-5169331) * Hi Timjin: * My markers show up on the settings page which is why it is very weird. When I did this last time, it displayed. * I named my markers marker.png and [marker@2.png](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-markers-2/marker@2.png?output_format=md); I put them in the directory as follows: public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-store- locator/img/markers * Here is what i see when i go into the file as you directed above: * var wpslSettings = {“startMarker”:”marker@2@2x.png”,”storeMarker”:”marker@2@2x. png”,”markerClusters”:”0″,”autoLocate”:”0″,”autoLoad”:”1″,”mapType”:”roadmap”,” zoomLevel”:”3″,”zoomLatlng”:”40.463667,-3.74922″,”streetView”:”0″,”panControls”:” 0″,”controlPosition”: * you can see the page here: [http://cervezagoose.com/donde/](http://cervezagoose.com/donde/) * Plugin Author [Tijmen Smit](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tijmensmit/) * (@tijmensmit) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-markers-2/#post-5169332) * The file name is wrong, there shouldn’t be two [@2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/2/) in the file name. Not sure why it breaks but you can hardcode the file name in the js file. * If you open the js/wpsl-gmap.js file, and then search for * ``` markerPath = wpslSettings.path + "img/markers/" ``` * Instead of this. * ``` if ( storeId === 0 ) { markerPath = wpslSettings.path + "img/markers/" + wpslSettings.startMarker; } else { markerPath = wpslSettings.path + "img/markers/" + wpslSettings.storeMarker; } ``` * Change it into this, where ‘yourfilename’ is whatever your marker is named. * ``` if ( storeId === 0 ) { markerPath = wpslSettings.path + "img/markers/yourfilename.png"; } else { markerPath = wpslSettings.path + "img/markers/yourfilename.png"; } ``` * Thread Starter [kitkat13](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kitkat13/) * (@kitkat13) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-markers-2/#post-5169333) * The good news is I got it working in Firefox and IE using the fix above. That is a start. The bad news is that I still don’t see the fix in chrome. Getting closer. It is weird that the file is adding the extra [@2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/2/). Do you think it makes sense to re-install the plug in from scratch. Any thoughts? * Plugin Author [Tijmen Smit](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tijmensmit/) * (@tijmensmit) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-markers-2/#post-5169334) * Did you delete your browser cache in Chrome? It works fine in Chrome for me. * I will have a look in the code tomorrow to see why it adds [@2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/2/) @2 in the filename when you add a custom marker, it shouldn’t happen.
