 * You can only install the plugin once in a normal WP installation, this works 
   different if you use WP [Multi site](https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network),
   then you can install it again on every site that’s part of the network.
 * If you want to use it on 2 different pages ( domain.com/page-a and domain.com/
   page-b ), and show different locations, then the only way to do this is by assigning
   the locations to two different categories. Then pass the category slug through
   the shortcode on both pages like this
 * [wpsl category=”my-first-category”] on page a, and [wpsl category=”my-second-
   category”] on page b. This will restrict the returned results to the provided
   category slug.

 * I’m using your last suggestion but the problem there’s no category dropdown menu
   with that shortcode. 🙁

 * It’s not supposed to show a dropdown anymore because the results are automatically
   limited to the provided category.
 * You would like to be able to show a custom list of categories in the dropdown?
   This isn’t possible at the moment, but I will add support for this in the future.

 * I would like to show sub-categories in the dropdown list. But I think I already
   asked you for that feature and answered me it will be in next release. Do you
   have a timeframe?
 * I was looking to separate two kind of data in two separate store locator plugin
   but you answered me it’s not possible. I will look for an alternative for my 
   second directory for meanwhile.
 * Thanks!
