Hi Thanks
Yes Im sure it was site wide so I can choose which sites have the plugin installed.
The backup I had from 25th Dec had been restored (geodirectory tables only) when I tried this backup there were problems one of the main issues was that the custom fields section no longer worked properly, you could not save custom fields properly and any new listings made lost those custom fields upon saving and publishing the listing.The old database that worked was V2 geo not V1. Somehow tables disapeared possibly when I upgraded the beta V2 to a newer beta v2, check back in this post. It was a very strange issue as only some tables remained, the rest of my website had no troubles at all! just lost most geodirectory tables.
The only real guess I have as to what happened is that because im running multisite, I deleted another website and maybe it confused it with the main site running geo, but even that does not seem possible as what can cause tables to disapear ? I had not uninstalled geodirectory at all and I certainly had not ticked delete tables on uninstall, so overall very odd

Thankyou for that
Sadly I have had to uninstall and finish with geodirectory due to the too many issues I had, If I was to continue I need to be able to back up those custom fields as to loose all that data again would drive me insane! Perhaps when you guys have implimented those functions I will buy Geodirectory again. Shame I can’t get a refund but I know that is not in the terms 🙂Riki
So no other way to backup Custom Fields other than MYSQL ? Just double checking, im hoping to get this all working well, I have many custom fields. Am debating if I should move to another wordpress directory plugin, shame as everything else with geodirectory is spot on!
Thanks, so the only way to backup you can get of the CPT Custom Fields is by backing up the MYSQL tables ? the issue is for me that when I import those custom fields from MYSQL backup they no longer work for some reason.
The issue for me is I have about 50 custom fields so its a nightmare to manualy add them all back in.If someone can explain the best way for me to import custom fields if anything goes wrong with geodirectory. I heard that If I export a listing with all custom fields selected then if I ever have to re-install geodirectory I can import that listing and it will re-create all the custom fields for me based on that listing, is this correct ? Otherwise there seems to not be a way to backup custom fields only categories and listings.
Thanks
RikiOk so I imported my old database tables after deleting the original and all the custom fields are there but when I go to create a new listing none of my custom fields save with the profile.
At the moment Im thinking I may as well just start from fresh with geodirectory and save all my custom field data to a text file and start the tedious process of adding them all back in again. All the custom fields show on add new listing but none of them save to that listing.
Yes I thought so much, ok well I will recover my backup file in sections I recon and see how it works.
Thanks for your help people!
No I did not and I know that was stupid! lol but I have one in last couple of weeks 🙂
Yes it is strange, I can only guess that there was an issue when I created that sub site as its a multisite network.
Nevermind, we must move on I will recreate my database but do you know how is best to do it ?I can either delete all tables and restore all geodir tables from the sql file, or I can empty the tables for custom fields etc and manualy add that data back into the pre existing tables.
The only diference about my backup is that its from an older Beta version and I am now on the current version!
Very strange because geo-directory was definetly NOT uninstalled, the changes I had made before this happened were create a sub site, delete sub site as it did not install right due to the fact I had not enabled HTTPS on that sub sites domain, delete a user who may have been an admin (not sure) and atributed all her content to another user. the main admin account which I created all my custom fields and geo-directory content in over the last month was untouched.
This reply has been marked as private.This reply has been marked as private.Ok, I had hoped this issue was just my hosting being wierd but that information in the tables are not there, I guess my only option is to go back to my old backup sql file and import in sections the data ?
Thanks
Rikinow kicking myself for having not backed up often enough! how do database tables just disapear when ive been nowhere near them ? lol
Yep all installed and activated!
