Map not displaying anonymous user submitted events

Is the user submitted events and location are approved?

are you on the latest update? This was fixed in 5.5

I’m on 5.5. User submitted events were approved, and the locations were published. I assume the locations automatically get approved when you publish a user submitted event?

Ok. I deleted all my (test) events and tried to submit a new one anonymously, and it displays on the map, so it seems to work. Strange how it wasn’t doing it before for some events.

That’s probably because those test events were submitted before the bug was fixed, while the newer ones were submitted after the fix.

I’ve noticed that the test events I created and then deleted through the WP admin left behind a few locations (which I also deleted), but these locations still show up, even though they are completely gone from the listings in the admin area. Any idea how I can get rid of them, or why they show up at all still?

I guess I may have to delete some reference to them in the actual database?

So, I deleted them from em_locations in the database and that fixed things, but I seem to be getting a lot of duplicate locations. In the database there’s all null values for these duplicate locations

like this:

location_address,location_town,location_state,location_postcode,location_region,location_country,location_latitude,location_longitude,post_content,location_status,location_private
NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,0.000000,0.000000,NULL,1,0

any idea why this would be happening?

It looks like it happens when events are edited in the WP backend after they have been initially posted. When the event is saved it creates a duplicate location.
