 * Hi guys
 * This is s great plugin but it doesn’t always work for me. Most of the time it
   loads just fine but sometimes it says there are no reviews for our business.
 * Do you have any thoughts on why this might be happening?
 * I have another question as well. We are about to change our site to https. As
   far as you are aware will this plugin be ok when we do this or might there be
   any mixed content issues?
 * Thanks for your help
 * Best regards,
 * Mike

 * HI Mike,
 * Most often it will not show the business reviews if that business is not configured
   correctly. Typically it doesn’t have a physical address or hasn’t indicated that
   it serves customers at that physical location — both of which are requirements
   from Google to display reviews over their API.
 * You can read more details about that here:
    [https://wordimpress.com/documentation/google-places-reviews/google-places-reviews-101/](https://wordimpress.com/documentation/google-places-reviews/google-places-reviews-101/)
 * Can you provide me a link to a business on Google Maps where it’s not displaying
   right for you?
 * Regarding HTTPS, we encourage EVERY website to have HTTPS, so you’ll be in great
   shape switching to HTTPS with our plugin — no problems.
 * Also, just a heads up that we are in the middle of totally revamping how we do
   Business Reviews as a whole. If you’re interested in learning more about what
   we’ve got up our sleeves and maybe doing some beta testing for us, feel free

 * HI Mike,
 * I had no trouble getting your business to display reviews at all. You can see
   it here live on our demo site (the second widget):
    [http://googleplacesreviews.wordimpress.com/sidebar-widget/](http://googleplacesreviews.wordimpress.com/sidebar-widget/)
 * I see your widget on your site saying there’s no reviews and it actually links
   to the right business on Google Maps as well. So I’d suggest just going into 
   your widget and open the “Advanced Options” tab and click on “Clear Cache”. If
   that doesn’t work, I’d suggest creating a new API key and trying that.

 * Hi Matt,
 * Thanks for this. It seems setting cache data to ‘none’ inside the widget makes
   it work again. I’ve tried turning the cache on and off a few times and the results
   are consistent.
 * Not sure what this means. A conflict at my end, maybe?
 * I’m a little worried about putting in too many api requests with the caching 
   off. But, I’m also happy that it’s working again and appreciate that there’s 
   only so much you can say or do to help.
 * Best regards, Mike

 * You definitely don’t want the cache off. Hitting the “Clear Cache” button should
   have the same results as setting the option to “None”, but you then keep the 
   new cached results for whatever period you designate.
 * If you’re seeing mixed results like that it’s possible other caching plugins 
   or server caching is at play as well. Make sure you clear those as well.
