Niantic Introduced Wayspots not syncing with Ingress
I recently went to a location which had no portals at all. So i submitted many POIs. Now many of it got rejected saying they were all duplicate. So i went to the same area and saw Photo less Pokestops and gyms in the area about 9 of them.
My efforts to submit new POI were in vain due to this error.
Please improve the quality of life Ingame in ingress.
Thanks you

submit them again, problem is that many that vote are clueless.
If there are already poi's there, but only in Pogo, resubmitting the poi's won't resolve the issue.
@MrRaffz You may need to go over to the Wayfarer forum and post about the issue.
Thats something i like to know, why are there portals in pogo but not in ingress and reverse? Should not both games have the same portals?
My advice is to "thumbs up" in Pokemon Go, this ia supposed to force the syncing between Pogo and Ingress. I did it with some portals and appeared in 24 hours
Pokemon GO has different inclusion rules, I believe currently it's one Pokestop per S17 cell. In theory, every Pokestop is also an Ingress portal, however, there was a period of one or two months where the sync between the games was broken and new POIs only went live in PoGo. New portals were only created when your either liked the Pokestop in PoGo or when Niantic manually synced the portal into Ingress.
It has never been automatically backfilled however, so the best suggestion is to like the Stops for them to Sync to Ingress. Alternatively, you can post the location here and maybe Niantic sees it and can manually sync the POIs.
I did there . I wanted to start a discussion here as well because some are saying this is ingress problem as ingress is not syncing the POI in the first place .
Wayfarer now became a Pokémon GO submission platform.
Everything in that website now emphasis Pokémon GO only.
Ya in the past just when everything was moved to Lightship this worked. So using my Pokemon go account I gave likes to the portals, about a week ago. But nothing happened till now. If this continues, as Wayfarer is adding more pokestops and gyms in India, we ingress players won't get our submissions accepted as all are duplicates of existing and we donot have a clue whether they actually exist or not
For this plan i started this discussion. It's been almost a week i gave like.
ok then something is wrong, they should have synced the next day.... weird. also u dont need give likes as the 20m rule no longer applies..
With no offense, the two suggestions are completely useless. What might help OP is
Turn to https://community.wayfarer.nianticlabs.com/ and write a posts covering all portals that have not been synced and ask for the help of Wayfarer team to do a manual fix.
please read the post again. OP has said clearly
So i submitted many POIs. Now many of it got rejected saying they were all duplicate. So i went to the same area and saw Photo less Pokestops and gyms in the area about 9 of them. My efforts to submit new POI were in vain due to this error.While I don't disagree that the second option is useless, if they are in the area, liking the Pokestop has been proven to have the portal appear after the daily sync. A thread on the Wayfarer Forums is still a good idea, but in the meantime, if they're in the area, they can still try liking the Pokestop.
I agree that earlier there was a bug where you may need to force a sync by liking the photo in PGO. However, the essence of this action is to force a sync. OP has already made submission that are marked as "duplicate" which should automatically pass the photos to those pokestops, which should have already triggered a forced sync and thus "liking" won't help if they still do not appear in Ingress after OP's submission were rejected. This is a more complicated problem, seemingly another new bug, that has also been noticed by other players in OP's post in Wayfarer forum https://community.wayfarer.nianticlabs.com/discussion/comment/139665/#Comment_139665 and that's why I insist that it would be better for OP to make a list of all problematic wayspots and ask for Niantic Wayfarer staff to do a manual fix but anyway thanks for your suggestions. At least they are informative and helpful than "try submitting them again".
@MrRaffz these were mass imported by Niantic for Pogo.
These will/should only sync to Ingress if they have a valid photo.
So normally, if your submissions are getting marked as duplicate, your photo should get added and once the sync happens, they should be imported.
Ah, I wasn't aware that a new photo through a duplicate would have also triggered a sync, I thought it was via liking only.
@MrRaffz, in that case, follow the instructions of @LuoboTiX and make a post on the Wayfarer Forums, that would probably be your best chance to get the portals into Ingress.
I also think that. But the problem is that ingress is not syncing anything. I submitted photos to an active portals about two months ago. It still hasn't shown up in ingress. It's in Pokemon go.
I am posting this discussion after two weeks waiting as well.
My post in Wayfarer is saying that it's the problem if ingress.
I am hoping for them to show up. Over a massive scale this fix could be better than trying to get one accepted.
Please Fix This Sync Issue As soon As possible
