Geotagging

How do I remove location information from a post?
Geotagging turned off. In fact, geotagging was never turned on. I have 6 posts showing location as “local” — as shown on the WordPress Ap on my Ipad, on the “posts” page.
How do I remove that location information?
Example:
The October jobs report: confusing, probably showing continued steady growth
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi,
In the mobile app, “local” refers that either the post or an edit of the post has been saved locally onto the device and haven’t been sent up the servers yet.
If you would like, can you take a screenshot of the posts page saying “local” and upload it to your media library? I’d be happy to confirm.
Cheers!

I don’t know how to take a screenshot on an Ipad. I’ll look it up. Does the URL of the post I gave help?
But: none of these posts were composed on my ipad! I don’t compose on the ipad. They are all published. The pc on which they were composed is long since recycled.
Also: some of these say “local”, some say “failed”.

I should have sent instructions for that: http://en.support.wordpress.com/make-a-screenshot/
There’s no geotagging data with that post.
What it sounds like to me is that perhaps you opened/edited these posts with the WP app and any changes weren’t synced up to the server, or something similar along those lines (the app crashing at a bad time, etc).
One solution that should resolve this (and start with a clean slate) is to log out of the app and re-login. You can log out by going to the menu on your iPad (the icon with the three lines), choose Settings, then the Sign Out button.
The local/failed posts will be removed, but anything published on the site will remain. Cheers!

Fixed! That did it.
Does this mean those changes to those posts I did on the iPad never got to the servers? So I should watch for that error message (“local”, or “failed”) in the future?
-
Correct—either local or failed indicate that there’s data in the app that didn’t sync up with the server. If you see that again, double-check your Internet connection on your iPad, edit the post again and re-save it.
It works like that so if you’re without an Internet connection, you can still use the app to write new posts (or make edits to posts that have been downloaded to the app) and be able to publish it later.
Cheers!
