We made updates to several default widgets this week. If you customized any of these widgets and want to update them, you can find the latest code in the corresponding default widget. Please remember that if you have a custom version of any of these widgets, the latest updates will not be pushed to your website.
- Added the ability to geocode member posts from the Admin. To use this new feature navigate to Admin >> My Content >> Manage Posts >> List Actions >> Sync Posts with Google Maps.
