Bulk edit messes up _detail table post_status value

Hi – I’m not fluent enough in the WP internals to know where try debugging this one 🙂

If you go to the ‘Places’ screen, and select multiple places on the listing and bulk-edit them – for example, to add a category – after you save, the *_detail table for places has “-1” in the post_status, instead of ‘publish’. This of course causes 404 errors for each of the place pages.

In the WordPress core, it checks for a “-1” coming from the form, meaning that the user has elected to not update the status. It undefines the post_status variables so they don’t get changed in this case, but somewhere along the line, I think GeoDirectory isn’t doing the same when it cross-updates the _detail records.

Cheers,
Rick
