No Location Option in Screen Options

  • Unknown's avatar

    I’m using the Twenty Twelve theme and searched each option to enable geotagging – there is no such option – I can add location to a post via the button in the editor but see nothing in the post. Also the Worpress support suggests enabling the “Location” option in Screen options for a new post, I have no such item in my screen options – on any screen.

    Can anybody Help?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  • Hey there!

    If you scroll down your latest post titled “Duncan to Sidney – Day 4”, you can see the Geotag information displayed. Please check a screenshot that I took:

    Let me know if you’re still having trouble with it. Thanks!

    Thanks for the two replies to this WP newbie …
    The link from timethief was one that I already read and as druesome noticed the geotag – so did I! It didn’t appear immediately, which was why I didn’t see it. One reason is that is does not show on the Home tab with the latest post, but if I pick the same post from Recent Posts on the sidebar – the geotag appears! i don’t know if this is the case for others viewing the blog?
    My missing “Location” option in the drop-down Screen Options must have been eliminated by the last WP update perhaps? And Geotagging is not on the User Options either – perhaps WP decided they were redundant.
    Nevertheless, my problem is mostly solved for posts and I can only assume that WP does not allow geotagging Pages?

    I do see the problem and I have asked our team of developers to take a look. I’ll get back to you as soon as I hear updates. Thanks for reporting this!
