Import / export locations

Locations are normal WordPress posts (or your CPT). Transfer them with Tools → Export / Import, then regenerate markers on the destination.

Export (source site)

  1. Tools → Export.
  2. Select the post type you use for locations (Posts, Properties, Stores, …).
  3. Download the XML file.

Include featured images if the importer prompts you and you need thumbnails on the new site.

Import (destination site)

  1. Ultimate must be active; connect the post type.
  2. Tools → Import → WordPress importer.
  3. Upload the XML, assign authors, run the import.
  4. Confirm posts appear under that post type with Progress Map lat/lng meta intact.

Regenerate markers

  1. Progress Map → Plugin settings — ensure the post type is selected.
  2. Save.
  3. Open Troubleshooting (or the regenerate markers control in plugin settings / tools).
  4. Click Regenerate markers.

Without regeneration, maps may miss pins even though meta exists.

Verify

  • Open a location — coordinates visible in the Progress Map metabox.
  • Front-end map shows markers.
  • Infobox images load (regenerate thumbnails if needed).

Tips

  • Import maps separately — Import / export maps.
  • If you use ACF map fields, re-apply ACF sync on the new site.
  • Large imports: raise PHP max_execution_time / use WP-CLI import if the browser times out.
