Location field not appearing on front-end listing submission form

General Geolocation
1

Hi HivePress team,

I’m building a therapy group directory using HivePress with the ListingHive theme on WordPress.com Business plan. The Geolocation extension is installed and active, but the location field does not appear on the front-end listing submission form at /submit-listing/details/.

When I try to submit a listing without a location, I get the error “Location field is required” but there is no location input field visible on the form.

Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

  • Started with Mapbox as the map provider, then switched to Google Maps. Neither shows the location field on the submission form.

  • Google Maps API key is entered in HivePress > Settings > Integrations. The console confirms “Google Maps JavaScript API has been loaded” so the API is connecting.

  • Maps JavaScript API, Places API, and Geocoding API are all enabled in Google Cloud Console with billing active.

  • Content Types in Geolocation settings is set to Listings.

  • Deactivated and reactivated the Geolocation extension.

  • Flushed permalinks multiple times.

  • Tested in incognito browser with a fresh user account.

  • The location field DOES appear on the vendor/provider profile form, just not on the listing submission form.

  • The map on the Browse Groups page works correctly and shows pins for existing listings.

  • Console shows one error: “Failed to load resource: /wp-json/hivepress/v1/listings/ server responded with status 400”

My setup:

  • WordPress.com Business plan (self-hosted)

  • HivePress core + 10 extensions (Geolocation, Bookings, Messages, Reviews, Memberships, Tags, Claims, Requests, Offers, Import)

  • ListingHive theme

  • Elementor page builder

  • WooCommerce + Subscriptions for WooCommerce (WP Swings)

  • Google Maps as map provider

  • 4 listing categories, 13+ custom attributes

The location field works everywhere except the front-end submission form. Is there a known conflict or setting I’m missing?

Hi,

Welcome to the community and thanks for the detailed report. :herb:

Please disable any third-party plugins and customizations (if present) and check if the issue persists. There’s a possibility that one of the plugins could be interfering, you can start by disabling Elementor to test.

Let me know if the issue continues, and I’ll help troubleshoot it further.
