I have imported data from a custom post type that has location data for a map plugin (Progress Map). I have about 500+ posts each with different location data. For some reason the location data isn't registered unless I save each post again.

I've been looking for a way to quickly automate this but no one seems to have a solution that doesn't involve also changing data on each post which I don't want to do.

I thought there would be a simple snippet that you can change the post type on. I'm not a programmer so a lot of this goes over my head.

Update/My Fix

It turns out that with the Progress Map plugin you can regenerate the data for all the locations. So in effect I solved MY problem but not the specific problem I was asking about.

I'm unsure if this counts as an answer so I'll leave it here and keep this as un-answered.

For pins(location data) not appearing on the overall map you can regenerate the locations: Go to “Troubleshooting & configs” and click on the button “Regenerate markers”.
