Hello Jim,

I have run GD Tool > Clear DB versions and seems issue is fixed now.

Please check and let us know.

Also there is a JavaScript error on backend add listing pages.

Can you share the edit link for that listing?
So many of your listings are in draft mode, so are not visible from the frontend.

the 7888 listing is broken because it has no category.
Add a category and it should be fine.

14997 got a proper permalink and works after update.
/restaurant/washington/seattle/the-capital-grille-31/

When you have so many listings it can take some time for the permalinks to be rebuilt.

I will flag your topic for the developers and ask them if there is additional advice for permalinks when there are 20k listings.

Ok that sounds good but back to the map issue. Would this mainly be an issue with the theme or a plugin and how could I figure out which one without deactivating them all on the site

define(‘CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS’, false);

The map will break if listings do not have a category. For example, if a single restaurant post does not have a category, then any archive page showing that listing on the map, the map will not behave properly.

If the code you add to wp-config causes errors, you should remove it.

When I save the new listing as a draft it seems to have a default longitude and latitude in walnut creek that doesn’t change when you set the address.

So the map shows the google map in a California Location even though it should show up in my test location

Whenever I hit add listing it has a default longitude and latitude we did not set

If we where able to save draft with the map coming up in the correct location we would be happy

That is the lat lon and address of the default location.

If you add the address and adjust the map pin, they should save as they are updated.

Hello Jim,

You need to find from which plugin this error is coming. Try to disable non-GD plugin one buy one to find which plugin it causing this. You also need to check whether it is coming from theme or not.

There is a bug in snippet that you added in child theme funcions.php file for defers JavaScript function.

You have used:
```
return "$url' defer ";
```
It should be
```
return "$url' defer='defer";
```
