Nice catch, thank you very much Stiofan. I understand that I should try excluding one CSS at a time through the GDB admin in case this ever happens again.

Thank you very much for your guidance Stiofan, I’ll try to figure it out.

Ah, maybe it has something to do with the claim listing addon. When you go through the Claim Listing method (on Details page), you can select a payment method and proceed to GD Checkout page. It’s on that page that I am getting these issues.

Update!
Turns out that if I also manually publish the post, it works fine. Here’s the final code in case anyone cares:

function syr_replace_author( $last_post_id )  
{
	global $wpdb;
	$this_post = $wpdb->get_row(
		$wpdb->prepare("SELECT * FROM wp_geodir_gd_place_detail WHERE post_id = %d", $last_post_id)
		);
	
	if ($this_post->post_status == 'draft' && !$this_post->claimed && $this_post->package_id =='1') {

		$my_post = array();
		$my_post['ID'] = $last_post_id;
		$my_post['post_author'] = 1 ; //This is the ID number of whatever author you want to assign

		// Update author into the database
		wp_update_post($my_post);

		// Publish posts when added
		wp_publish_post ($last_post_id);
		geodir_change_post_status($last_post_id, 'publish');
		
	}
}
add_action( 'geodir_after_save_listing', 'syr_replace_author');

I thought of that, but I did not find an author ID field in the wp_geodir_gd_place_detail table
