    I have tried searching for a solution but I believe my lack of knowledge in coding in general is preventing me from getting through this problem.

    I am working on my company website http://www.brucecostgingerale.com, I did not create it, just recently started messing around with it. I have no experience using WP, but am somewhat familiar with HTML.

    Got the WP Store Locator plugin, when I put [wpsl] as HTML, preview simply displays the code as is. I have tried to deactivate all other plugins with no effect.

    Please let me know if you need more info to help solve the issue.

    If you enter the shortcode in the visual editor instead of the html view in the editor does it work then?

    Actually, I clicked “preview” and what I see is a search box for “Your Location”, “search radius” drop-down, “results” drop-down, “search” button, and the text “start over!”—none of these are functioning, and I have entered a starting location under settings.

    I have learned that most of the website has been coded into the theme, all except the “news” section…

    No where in my plugin is the text “start over” used, so that’s probably coming from your theme or another plugin.

    I did notice in the html source of the site that an old jquery version is loaded (1.2.6) That won’t work with the plugin, it needs to be a more recent version.

    This is what is loaded now

    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.2.6/jquery.min.js"></script>

    Try to change it to this

    <script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

    This could break other js scripts on your site so you just have to test it. And if it does, either make the existing scripts that break compatible with this jquery version or you would have to use a different store locator plugin. jQuery 1.2.x was released in 2007 or so, so maybe it’s good to update the jQuery library anyway
