# Coordinates Issue

 * [3 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/coordinates-issue/)
 * I am new to WPSSO, but I’m sure this is a bug.
 * My Coordinates are:
 * Place Latitude: 42.19399
   Place Longitude: -71.18288
 * This results in this notice and the Longitude being nulled out – _**The value
   of option “place\_longitude” must be blank or numeric – resetting this option
   to its default value.**_
 * I assume it doesn’t like the “-” in the Longitude, but not using it is not an
   option as the coordinates without the negative are in Bostanlik District, Uzbekistan
   versus in Greater Boston.
 * Please let me know if I am doing something incorrectly.
 * Thank you.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcoordinates-issue%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * The [https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.is-numeric.php](https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.is-numeric.php)
   check does not care if the number is negative or positive – they’re both numeric.
   🙂 Make sure there is no leading or trailing space though, as a space is not 
   numeric. I’ll add a trim() function to that check in the next release to remove
   spaces.

 * Thank you JS Morisset!
 * I’m an idiot and had an extra space from cut and paste.
 * Thank you for your hard work on this. I am just starting on WPSSO and will review
   it once I have some experience.
