I am working on a website and I am using the categories and near feature. I have performed the search and it is bringing back results that are not near or connected with the initial search query.

Please can you advise.

Thanks

Rob

This is suggested by the auto complete, so I would imagine it would only pull up posts from that specific taxonomy, with the near field as well?

For this search, duplicate locations is not the case so there must be something else causing the issue?

Thanks

Rob

Please restore them following this tutorial

I will run this on a development website to see if this fixes the issue with the search not returning the correct results, and then report back with the situation.

Thanks for looking into this today.

I have run the code, and re run the search and there are 30 results, but now they are appearing in distance order I think.

There are still results showing which are not relevant to the “near” search criteria.

Any ideas please?

Thanks

Rob
