Geolocation not populated on listing publish

Hello,

Are you using any other geolocation related plugins on your site? I’d guess conflict since you said it works when you update the job manually which would mean it’s less likely that you’re hitting an API limit.

If you’re a coder and want to debug this further, take a look at the update_location_data method in the WP_Job_Manager_Geocode class.

https://github.com/mikejolley/WP-Job-Manager/blob/master/includes/class-wp-job-manager-geocode.php#L23

Maybe you can var_dump, or mail yourself to see if this is being triggered on job post or not. That would be where I’d start if debugging myself.

Good luck

Thanks for the quick reply!

I don’t believe I’ve added any other geolocation plugins to the site, I’ve basically just installed the core premium add-ons pack for WP Job Manager as well as the Jobify theme. I’ve also attempted disabling all plugins aside from those required for WPJM to function.

I’m not a coder necessarily, though I know enough to be a danger to myself. ?? I’ve tried a few things related to the section starting at line 23 including commenting it out and replacing with the code beginning at line 35 since that seemed to be the piece that was working properly (and of course making sure to change the public function tags so it wasn’t called out twice.) This didn’t seem to make a difference.

Not sure what you mean by var_dump or mailing myself. Thanks for your help!

What’s more interesting, if I comment out the code starting at line 35, the update function continues to work as normal…

Maybe another plugin is taking over; what do you have installed?

Okay I’ve been able to reproduce this two different ways. Referencing another thread which has been a huge help: Huge issue with Geolocation

Using the first method, modifying class-wp-job-manager-geocode.php line 123-132 to read:

$result = wp_remote_get(
					"https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=" . $raw_address . "&key=+++MyKeyHere+++&sensor=true",
					array(
						'timeout'     => 5,
					    'redirection' => 1,
					    'httpversion' => '1.1',
					    'user-agent'  => 'WordPress/WP-Job-Manager-' . JOB_MANAGER_VERSION . '; ' . get_bloginfo( 'url' ),
					    'sslverify'   => false,
								    )
				);

That’s the first way I was able to produce the issue. The second way I produced it was using a slightly modified version of the code you posted a few posts down the thread. Note that without these modifications, nothing happened at all on initial listing or after pressing update. Added this to functions.php for the Jobify theme:

function add_geolocation_key_to_endpoint( $endpoint ) {
$endpoint = add_query_arg( 'key', 'YOURKEYHERE', $endpoint );
return $endpoint;
}

Ok now I’m confused. You said it worked when manually saving a job, but not during posting. Both use the exact same code, so by adjusting the code you’re going to affect both geolocation functions. The above code changes are not necessary because you already confirmed its working in admin.

Revert all changes. Then post with the Twenty Twelve theme active.

My code has a filter in which themes and plugins can disable and replace the geolocation logic. By testing the above you can see if Jobify is affecting the geolocation during posting.

All changes reverted, Twenty Twelve theme activated – same result. Exact steps taken:

1. Dashboard > Job Listings > Add New
2. Fill in fields: Position, Body, Location, Company
3. Click Publish > Custom fields not created, geodata not added
4. Click Update > Custom fields now created, geodata added automagically

Spun up another clean install, same result here too using the Twenty Twelve theme and original un-modified code. I think WPJM hates me ??

Alright just did yet more testing and this is working just fine when orders are placed through the theme pages itself. Seems to only be affecting the admin portal job submissions.

Very strange… but I guess the end result gets what I want ultimately. Thanks Mike for your time!

That helped; it only affects admin new jobs. Fix is here: https://github.com/mikejolley/WP-Job-Manager/commit/11ec421e5a7141d7bcab0b1531faf87061eeac73

Excellent, this worked perfectly! Thanks Mike!!!
