I’ll do that then.
Is it possible to keep it from hiding the categories that don’t have any stores?
There is an addon that allows you to import/export from/to a csv file, but it is a paid addon.
This sounds very similar to my question from the other day https://wordpress.org/support/topic/display-categories-in-info-window
I think you should be able to do the same thing for the wpsl_listing_template filter
That put me on the right track, thanks.
Since my code runs first, I was able to remove jQuery("#wpsl-search-btn").click(); and the map loads with the correct filter.
Since it doesnt seem to exist already, I suggest adding a built-in way to link to a category filter
