[Resolved] Duplicate Map Markers Being Posted to Map

[Author]

We are trying to load location to our map but it has been extremely slow and our custom filtering seemed to be broken. After investigating this we have found that every post marker has been duplicated.

For example post (2680) also has a (2680-1) marker being posted directly underneath of it. I expect that this is why the map has been loading slow and why the filter we built no longer works.

The problem is we don't know where the post lives. We have looked in the client-side backend of WordPress, the MySQL database, we have done an XML export to look through the site data to find the duplicate.

We even had the same view post just the text of the Title, ID, and the Slug for all our posts without the map we only see one of every location.

We are still unable to see where these posts live in the site, they just seem to be posting on the map as markers... the request for debugging causes the site page to fail so we can't review or provide the debug information to help either.

Please let us know what our next course of action should be.

Thank you,

Hi Justin,

Thank you for getting in touch.

Could you send me your view code so that I can have a look ?

This may allow me to see where the issue is.

Thanks,
Shane

Hi Justin,

I see that in the view you have this view as well [wpv-view name="who-lived-here-popup-map-marker-details"]

Is there any marker information in this view?

Please let me know.
Thanks,
Shane

No there are no markers being called in that view, it is simply the relationship data being called in plain text...

Hi Justin,

Thank you for the additional information.

Would you mind allowing me to have admin access to the site to have a look ?

The private fields have been enabled. Also please send me a link to the page with the map.
Thanks,
Shane

I was able to get some debug information from my local copy of the site, would it help, and what is the best way to getting it to you?

[LCR]

Please let me know when you are done so I can remove this user.

Thank you,

[Shane]

Hi Justin,

Not seeing where you provided the url for the site.

I'll enable the private fields again so you can provide the url to the site as well as the URL to the map as well as the credentials in a secure field.

Thanks,
Shane

Sorry! Site is hidden link

[Shane]

Hi Justin,

Are you not able to see the private fields ?

I've enabled them but i'm not seeing your post as private. I had removed the credentials because they were public.

Could you try adding them again.

[LCR]

Updated Cred provided.

Hi Justin,

Thank you I was able to log in,

Could you send me a screenshot of an example duplicate? I checked on this and the markers that I looked at there were no duplicates.

Thanks,
Shane

There are no duplicates except on the map. There are two markers overlapping each other and we have no clue where they are. It looks like your plugin for some reason is creating two markers one with the normal id and another with a '-1'.

Example: 2570 is created as a map marker and it also has 2570-1.

You can see it in the developer tools in the browser (as seen in the screenshot).

In your console, if you run:
WPViews.view_addon_maps.markers.map[2570].setVisible(false);

Then run:
WPViews.view_addon_maps.markers.map['2570-1'].setVisible(false);

Both the markers will disappear, proving that there are two markers being loaded for no reason because there isn't any duplicate data in the site.

Thank you,

Hi Justin,

The issue was being caused by the marker_id='[wpv-post-id]' so what i did was to just add marker_id='marker-1' Is there a particular reasoning why you want the post ID there?

Thanks,
Shane
