Pending Admin Approval of Submitted Locations

If the 'admin approval' is enabled in the CrowdMaps settings of MapifyPro, the map locations that were added by your site visitors will remain pending until the site administrator approves them. These are managed and approved in the CrowdMapssection of MapifyPro.

Can Site Visitors Edit the Locations They Have Submitted?

No. With CrowdMaps, site visitors can only add locations on the map. If a location needs to be edited after it has been submitted, then only the administrator of the wp-admin site can update it.
