Post Lat/Long Locations, Mapping and ACF

[heebegebe]

Hi there,

I have recently purchased your plugin. I am trying to display the lat/long of about 3000 posts on a single map. I currently have ACF installed, for other post fields.

I can’t figure out how to add the locations to all of the posts such that they will all display on my map.

I have tried the ACF integration, but when I try and add the lat/long into the google maps ACF field in a post it won’t save and doesn’t display. Is this because the google maps field needs to resolve the lat/long into an address before it will save the location? Some of my post locations don’t have an address, which is why I need to use lat/long.

I have also tried the custom field option, adding ‘lat’, ‘lng’ and ‘map_parent_id’ fields. With ACF installed I think the WP native custom fields are overriden, so I am adding the fields in ACF as a text field. But this doesn’t seem to work either, the locations don’t display.

Once I can display a few locations then I would like to be able to import the locations from a file, ideally by referencing the post ID. This may be more difficult with the ACF integration option and easier with the custom field option…?

Thanks

Hi again,

Just to be clear – I have now purchased and am using your plugin. And still need help with it.

Thanks

Hi there,

Thank you for getting in touch with us, we do appreciate your time.

Unfortunately, adding ACF markers using lat/lng coordinates is currently not supported.

We do apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused.

Kindest Regards,
