    Hi guys

    My map does not function correctly. As you can see on the attached screen dump, it says gd_placecategory on the map and my icons have disappeared. Furthermore, the map does not show all the listings in the category. I’ve updated all the GD-plugins, but it didn’t fix it. Can you help me fix it?

    Thank you!

    I found out that some of my icons had dissappeared, sine they were not visible in place categories > icons. I’ve managed to upload them again, but most of my listings are not visible, and my map now have some markers instead of icons. You can view it at http://openmindtrips.com/find/

    Hi,

    it seems like your listings lost the detail about the map icon to use.

    Please provide admin credentials and phpmyadmin url and details to check your database.

    I’ll alert the developers.

    Thanks

    Hi guys

    Did you have a chance to check up on this yet? I think the problem is something more than just that the listing icons have lost the detail about the map icon to use. The icons had dissappeared, but the icons is not the biggest problem – most of my listings are not visible on the map. So the icons have not just been replaced by a marker, most listings have disappeared from the map.

    Hi Stiofan

    No, I have not deleted any categories. In fact, I have not touched anything in wp for a month or so, and then this happened a week ago. I tried updating the plugins before writing you, but that’s all i’ve done.. But it seems as if the categories are still there (look at the screen dump). They were there before I wrote you and as you can see I realized that the icons were missing somehow, so I just uploaded the missing icons to the categories, but the categories that are there now are the same ones that have been there always. So I can’t see how the cats should have been removed..

    In the link you just sent there is a box that hasn’t been there before. I’ve added a screen dump of that one too. It says “Set as default category” without mentioning any category. As far as I remember it has not been there before. You think it has anything to do with it?

    Or maybe this has something to do with it: https://wpgeodirectory.com/support/topic/how-to-change-the-category-id/?

    As you can see I used to be able to have the same categories in different CPTs… Can it be that this is no longer possible, maybe because of a wp-update? And maybe that’s why they disappeared?

    Yes you seem to have missing cats, i dont even think the wp update would do this, you can export and reimport places to fix this in bulk, let us know if you have any problems.

    Thanks,

    Hi Stiofan

    Okay, so you don’t think any of the above mentioned things have any influence on it? I am just curious to know if the issue with the two drop down cat menus will be resolved with an export and reimport or is that a different issue which does not relate to this?

    I still can’t understand how I can have missing cats when they are/were still there as shown in the second attached screen dump. It seems more like the listings have lost the cats, right?

    Anyhow, is it possible for you to please provide me with an explanation of how to do the export and reimport?

    Thank you 🙂

    OK it does seem to be because of the WP cat changes but because of the way our system works, this is extremely easy to fix.

    I have fixed Retreat Centers, if others need fixing just follow these steps.

    #1 go to GD>import/export
    #2 export the places type you want.
    #3 (no need to edit the file) just reimport it and make sure “Update listing if post with post_id already exists.” is selected and import, this will fix it.

    Thanks,

    Stiofan

    Thanks Stiofan. Most retreat center listing are visible on the map now, but not all of them. Some retreat center listings still do not have any cats. Have a look at the amount of listings in each cat now compared to the screen dump I attached earlier in this thread. How does the rest in this CPT get a category as well?

    Did all the listings had a category when you exported/re-imported them?

    Let us know,

    Thanks

    Have a look at /wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=gd_place&orderby=title&order=asc
    All retreat listings have at least one category.
    That is the best place to check if listings are in a category.
