Improvements
Categories grouping: Categories in the directory menu can now group objects by any field type — including text, number, date, and checkbox — in addition to select/radio/status/regions. Unique values are derived automatically from the loaded data.
✨ Improvements
CSV import: Large files (100K+ rows) are now processed in the background using chunked server-side parsing and WordPress Cron. Progress is tracked live in the admin panel and survives page reloads. Supports all field types: Location (with background geocoding), Image (remote URLs downloaded to WP Media Library with deduplication), Regions, Select, Checkboxes, Post, and Date.
Error handling: All errors now include unique error codes. Extended descriptions with troubleshooting steps are available at mapsvg.com/docs/errors.
Bug Fixes
Post publish/unpublish map sync: Map data now updates correctly when connected posts are published, unpublished, trashed, or restored.
Directory item templates: Fixed rendering issues in directory item templates.
Zoom to a single marker after filtering: Fixed the zoom behavior when filtering leaves only one marker visible.
Region status colors: Fixed region status colors not applying correctly.
Slovenia map calibration: Fixed the calibration of the Slovenia map.
* Feature: load 1 post location only, for the currently opened post page
