Dear Support,

i try to create a user registration form where visitors can post emailadress & location to get notified if an event is near there location later. for this i created a user custom post type & genrated a frontend form. The problem here is that i cant create the user location data right when the site loads, so that the user get location feedback in the "user-location" input field based on his ip adress. example, please see bellow

Thank You!
Sammy.

Hi Sebastian,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

Are you using some form of custom code to get the user's current location ?

Thanks,
Shane

Hello Shane,

thanks for your feedback.

>Are you using some form of custom code to get the user's current location ?
No, for this i'm using the "Toolset Map" Plugin.
The "[wpv-geolocation]" shortcode was generated through a View Form (pl. see image attached) i have copied this in the CRED Post Form but it doesnt generate anything.

Best,
Sammy.

Hi Sebastian,

Thats correct because this shortcode is to allow for geo restricted contents, not to get the users geo location.

Thanks,
Shane
