Frequently Asked Questions
Go to the WP page “GD Details template” and find the shortcode [gd_single_tabs] change that to [gd_single_tabs show_as_list=”1″]
Visit the Design Elements Doc.
Use the Page Attributes section of the WP Page. You can open the template page and choose from the available options. These options are powered by your theme. GeoDirectory themes have some options, while other themes (Primer) offer no options but instead place a single sidebar on every page.
Primer Theme -> WP Page -> Page Attributes -> Template
GeoDirectory has a built-in method for calling page templates that allows developers to override the page template selection. If you choose a page template for the “Places Detail Page”, for example, then a developer can override in this order:
1. Does the GD Page have a Page Attributes -> Page Template selected? -> Use the selected Page Template
2. Is there a page override set in the design settings (there are GD settings for Details and one for Archives). -> Use the selected template.
3. Does the theme have a geodirectory-archive.php template?
4. Does the theme have a geodirectory.php template?
5. If none of the above then page.php template will be used.
For sidebars, each theme comes with different settings for controlling which sidebars are available for display on different pages. You will need to work with your theme or a developer to make changes beyond the kind of options provided by your theme.
Supreme Directory child theme -> WP Page -> Page Attributes -> Template
Kleo Theme -> WP Page -> Page Attributes -> Template
The number of posts shown with the gd_loop shortcode on the Archive pages is controlled by the setting for “Posts per page”.
For a typical WordPress installation, this setting can be found at
WordPress- Settings – Reading – Posts per page
Some themes have a setting that overrides the WordPress setting, so, if you have already changed the WP setting and aren’t seeing any results, check your theme.
If you want to show more posts of a certain listing type you will need to customize your site; a GD Expert can help you with that.
