Hi there,

I totally agree. Unfortunately I don't have knowledge of how to do that, but the good news is this new custom post option approach shouldn't be going anywhere any time soon :-)

Sorry again for the confusion.

Best,

Chris

Chris,

Thanks for this information - it's greatly appreciated.

It would be optimal if the theme could have migrated / upgraded custom post meta data on install, but this solution is great.

Thanks, again,

Hi there,

Just to clarify, as of version 1.7.0 the custom post options (i.e. lat/long settings, etc) are completely new. The old custom post options data is still on your database, but it's not displayed on the post edit screen.

There are a few main reasons for this change: (1) the previous setup didn't allow for interaction with a front-end submission form, (2) the previous setup was slowly becoming deprecated with each WordPress update, and (3) the newer system is faster, smaller and more robust for new features (which I've been implementing regularly since this change).

If you want to view the old custom post options on the post edit screen (in addition to the new custom post options), open functions.php and change the following on lines 119-122 from this...

////////////////////////
//LEGACY CUSTOM POST OPTIONS
////////////////////////
//include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/include/old-post-meta.php');

...to this...

////////////////////////
//LEGACY CUSTOM POST OPTIONS
////////////////////////
include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/include/old-post-meta.php');

After making that change, you should be able to view both the old and new custom post options on the post edit screen.

Let me know if that helps.

Best,

Chris

MOLITOR,

With a license to this theme since 6/5/2012 (v1.3), recent updates to this theme drop custom post options from each post.

From each post, custom post options are blank for input fields such as:

- Zoom Level
- Latitude - optional
- Longitude - optional
- Address Line 1
- etc...

Previously these fields retained their value when editing a post. After updating the theme, these input fields are now blank.

Data is persisted as the theme continues to display my map markers; however, is frustrating when updating a post such as changing address.

Thanks,

Jason Sturges
