Empty Category Icons on Place Listings

Hey Alex,

I’m totally confused now.

1. How did the icon go missing from the server if all we did was update Geodirectory plugins?

2. How do I export all of the categories and set a pin for all of them and then what’s next….? Please explain this.

Alex,

I had set Map Icons for all 750+ categories…it took me over a week to do this.

The only thing we did was upgrade from v1 to v2 and then keep updating the GD Plugins and themes. I can still see the map icons in my Media Gallery.

How did this happen? We can’t keep spending a week updating these images each time GD does an update.

And the only option available for Category Icons are some cartoon looking (I guess Google Font images) and it doesn’t allow us to use our own images. So I set the *Food category back to NONE and selected the FOOD Map Icon from my Media gallery and now that’s what’s showing up on the *Food category as you can see here: https://shoprva.com/places/united-states/virginia-1/richmond-city/food-1/juleps-new-southern-cuisine-2/ for Julep’s Southern Cuisine.

So what’s the fastest way we can reconnect these Map Icons to their respective categories without having to go thru them one by one, which will take over a week of our time…?

ALSO! How do we keep this from EVER being deleted again upon updating GD v2 or v3 or v4…?
