When I use the HivePress Import Plugin, the listings being uploaded do not generate a coordinated region for geolocation search. How do I fix this?

Hi,

Please clarify: Are the coordinates themselves imported? This means latitude and longitude and whether the search works on them. If the search works, then this is most likely a caching issue, please try saving the listings again in WP Dashboard \> Listings.

No, I don’t have latitude/longitude coordinates with the listings. I only have addresses.

I just want to make sure I understand. So when I do a bulk upload without latitude/longitude coordinates, I need to then go into the dashboard \> listings and save each listing individually?

Hi,

Can you please clarify more details, do you import only the location text or the coordinates as well? For the location to work correctly, you need to import three fields: coordinates and location text. If no regions are generated after importing, then please try to re-save this listing and test the search.

I only import location text, I do not have coordinates. Is there any way to get the regions to work with only address text?

Hi,

When importing, this is the only possible option.
