Problems changing Geographic Tracking Features

  • I was trying to use the <?php print_MapQuest_Url(); ?> tag and noticed that I had the GEO lat/long setting incorrect. I had erroneously set them both to 24.2815, which would have placed me somewhere in Libya, near the Egyptian border. As I am not fond of desolate wilderness areas and camels per se, I changed the settings in options/misc and saved them. However, the same lat/long settings, the ones placing me in Libya, are still there when I use the aforementioned tag. They’re changed in Admin, but not when using the tag. I even tried unticking the whole GEO setting and saving it with zero’s, removing the tag from my index.php and starting anew. The Libyan locale is still there when I put the tag back in and put the correct GEO settings in! Where did it save that original lat/long and how can I get it updated?

  • You don’t provide a link, but did you edit the post itself with the new Lat/Long?

    Yeah, lat/lon is saved for each post. You can change it in the advanced editor.

    No, you made yourself clear. print_MapQuest_Url() gets its latitude and longitude from the post (it normally would go in the loop and get the lat/long for each post). Since you have it out of the loop, I suspect it is pulling the lat/long from the last post (in this case, the only post). Edit the post that shows on the page to the correct longitude and latitude. (Since the lat/long in your case is static, you probably should just use a hard coded link to Mapquest).

    Spent a night trying to make PHP5 and WP work… no luck
    then tried PHP4 again, worked after 5 minuttes…

    (php4 on w2k3 that is…)
