Import/export of Locations

Please review https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/definitions/#location
I suggest you go to the frontend of your site and add a new listing, you should see the automatic address creation at work.

Thanks

Please review https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/definitions/#location

Refers to cities (towns or villages etc), regions (states or provinces etc) and countries
For every location in your database there will be a separate page created automatically
These locations are based on the Google Maps API, and the size of cities (towns, suburbs or villages etc depending on the country) can vary greatly from country to country.
Your locations need to be therefore always city > region > country, exactly like Google suggests when you add a listing from the frontend.

The Universities are ‘Locations’ from which the Listings will be filtered as: ‘less than 1 mile from this Location’ or ‘less than x miles from this Location’.

You cannot use universities as Locations. Locations have to be towns as per Map API, see above.
But visitors can search for a university in the location, they do not have to be entered as locations.

You only need to add your accommodation listings, nothing else.
You can test on our demo site.
Go to https://wpgeo.directory/docs
In the NEAR field, enter “Oxford University” and click the search icon [see image 1].
The results will show you the listings near the university.
The only thing we did was enter the listing for the accommodation.
The search knows where Oxford University is without having to add that as a location.

I suggest you start your site and it will become clear. Once your site is up, give us the URL and WP admin details in a private reply if you need more pointers.

Thanks
