Problem: I am trying to set up a distance filter in a custom search View with a map, but the distance filter isn't working like I would expect. Site Users cannot select the distance radius in the filter, nor can they select the distance units (mi/km). If I manually update the URL to include the appropriate parameters, the distance filter begins working.

Solution: When using the inputs_placeholder attribute in the wpv-control-distance shortcode, you should always include the %%DISTANCE%% keyword in its contents. Otherwise the filtering system will not work correctly. You can use CSS if necessary to hide the distance and units filter inputs:

[wpv-control-distance default_distance="20" default_unit="mi" compare_field="map-address" distance_center_url_param="toolset_maps_distance_center" distance_radius_url_param="toolset_maps_distance_radius" distance_unit_url_param="toolset_maps_distance_unit" inputs_placeholder="<span style='display:none;'>Show spaces within %%DISTANCE%% of </span>%%CENTER%%"]
