I am trying to: display a map showing locations of artists
Link to a page where the issue can be seen: hidden link
I expected to see: all locations
Instead, I got: only locations where the address field contains {latitude, longitude} and not an address (filtered by postcode as part of the input process)
Can I get more information about how you are filtering by postcode?
Does your View output the results only as markers, or also as a list of posts?
If only as markers, for testing purposes can you also output a list (e.g. just with wpv-post-title) to verify whether the problem is with the filtering and what is returned by the query, or is specific to displaying the markers for given posts.
Hi Nigel, have a look at hidden link this is the form that the user fills in and the venue location comes from.
The postcode 'filtering' is how it's always worked, out of the bag. I'd assumed it was standard. Enter a postcode and then select the address from the dropdown which relates to the venue. The marker appears on the form map and the field is populated. All good.
If the marker is in the correct place and not moved then it is omitted from the summary map, which is where the problem lies, on hidden link
That page also displays a list of entries beneath, all are present and correct.
Going back to the user registration form – if the marker which appears after the address is chosen isn't in the correct place and is moved by the user, then the address in the field changes to latitude, longitude coordinates. These markers show up on the summary map without an issue.
The two links are currently set to private whilst testing, password is testing123testing
When you said filtering by postcode I assumed you meant you were displaying a View with custom search filters, but you are referring to entering the address in the first place.
What you describe neither sounds right nor rings any bells.
Does the View that displays the results and map include any filters? What is the ordering setting?
It could result from a conflict with another plugin or the theme.
Could you please try disabling the non-Toolset plugins and switching theme to twentynineteen then checking the page again? If the issue disappears then it should be possible to determine the source of any conflict by a process of elimination.
Let me know how that goes so I can see how to proceed.
Hi Nigel
I've created a brand new WP installation with default theme and the only plugins installed being Toolset Forms, Maps, Types and Views. All latest versions. The markers are still an issue, behaving exactly as reported above. See hidden link
I can give you access to this new installation if you need it.

Hi Nigel
Thank you. The new installation test site can stay up as long as you need it.
The Artist posts are being created from the front end form and status is pending until approved by an admin. However, the issue is the same if you create an Artist post from new at the back-end.
Regardless, the problem goes away as soon as that marker is moved and the {lat,long} co-ordinates replace the text address, and that can be front or back-end.
It looks like the text address or the co-ordinates are held in the wp_postmeta database table but the text address isn't being recognised by the view and/or google when retrieved later. Could the co-ordinates be written to the table regardless of whether the marker is positioned manually or not – there's an option on screen to show/hide the co-ordinates so they are known at that point. Not trying to tell your developers how to do their job of course but it would seem a relatively straightforward fix…
The same issue occurs on the single Artist page, where the venue location is displayed – see hidden link which I've set up and repositioned the marker and your test entry at hidden link where the address is unaltered.
