Fields not importing

Hi @thegradhub,

When adding the fields into my post, some fields, namely Location, don’t copy over into the post. Any advice on how to fix this?

You should make sure you’re using a Google API Key in the import (no key won’t work), and that your server is authorized to use it. There’s a small gist here that explains what you need to do: https://gist.github.com/trey8611/45caeb25771b62270d12f1c3fbb0f3f6.

Let me know how it goes.

Hi, is Google API key the only geolocation I can use?

And will this then pull across Location data from my import?

Hi @thegradhub,

Yes.

As long as the API key works and the address/location you’re importing is valid, yes.

Hi Thanks. So I’ve done everything it says on the gist and I get this error –

{
“error_message” : “This IP, site or mobile application is not authorized to use this API key. Request received from IP address 92.236.21.81, with empty referer”,
“results” : [ ],
“status” : “REQUEST_DENIED”
}

Any idea why? Thank you

Hi @thegradhub,

That means the IP has not been added in the “IP addresses (web servers, cron jobs, etc.)” section at APIs & Services -> Credentials -> your API key -> Application restrictions in the Google Cloud console.

I’ve definitely added the IP address… Any other reason why this might be happening?

So i figured out the IP address issue however the location field still doesn’t want to import when I upload a CSV file. It shows up with anywhere rather than the location. Does the location section need to be very specific? For example if it says South East or Maidstone, will it pull it over? As at the moment it isnt, event with Google Geocoding API set up…

Thanks Rohan

Hi @thegradhub,

It shows up with anywhere rather than the location.

We’ll have to check the import settings/logs/data to understand why that’s happening. Please replicate it on a debug site at https://www.wpallimport.com/debug/ and open a ticket at https://www.wpallimport.com/support/ with the details.

Does the location section need to be very specific? For example if it says South East or Maidstone, will it pull it over?

The more specific you are, the more accurate the location response. If I test with “South East” and “Maidstone”, I’m getting locations in Kansas City, MO and Maidstone, UK, respectively.
