    Hi, since I need to add various listings and locations via csv, I started running some tests. I exported listings of a given CPT, opened the file with Open Office Calc and added couple of records. First problem, I have to insert latitude and longitude which is not really comfortable because I’ll have to manually convert addresses into coordinates for every single record since they are obviously missing from the data I’m starting with (they should be calculated automatically as it is when I create a listing myself and enter a regular address). Second problem, every time I add some listing and import the csv, I get a message stating that all records have been ignored because already existing. Same thing happens with locations. What am I doing wrong? Is Geodirectory import/export just for backups and it’s not suitable for adding batch of new records? Thanks for any suggestion.

    Please review https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/core-export/

    I guess you are not clearing the post_id column when adding new listings:

    Latitude and longitude are compulsory:

    Thanks
