Creating a Front Page<\/a><\/h3>\n

NOTE\/WARNING: DO NOT set the WP Front Page to the GeoDirectory V2 Location page or Search page. Doing so will break search and other GeoDirectory functionality.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Every site needs a Front page, but GeoDirectory V2 does not provide a home page. <\/p>\n

Here is what most people do to create a new Front page.<\/p>\n

First, create a new WP page<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

WordPress – Pages – Add New<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Call the page “My New Home Page” and then Publish it.<\/p>\n

Now set the new page as your site Front Page at:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

WordPress – Settings – Reading – Your Homepage displays – A Static Page – Now choose the page you just created.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

Now you can do anything you like with your new home page, but here are some shortcodes you can copy and paste there to display some GeoDirectory content. <\/p>\n

\r\n[gd_map width="100%" height="425px" maptype="ROADMAP" zoom="0" map_type="auto" post_settings="1"]\r\n[gd_categories title="Popular Categories" title_tag="h3" post_type="0" hide_empty="1" sort_by="az" max_level="1" max_count="all" max_count_child="0"]\r\n[gd_listings title="Featured Places" post_type="gd_place" sort_by="az" title_tag="h3" layout="gridview_onefifth" post_limit="5" show_featured_only="1"]\r\n[gd_listings title="Popular Places" post_type="gd_place" sort_by="az" title_tag="h3" layout="gridview_onefifth" post_limit="15"]\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
To add more yourself, open up your new home page and use the shortcode builder<\/a> or the GD Blocks<\/a> to add more GeoDirectory Design Elements<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":460,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","doc_tag":[],"amp_validity":null,"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wpgeodirectory.com\/docs-v2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/docs\/607"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wpgeodirectory.com\/docs-v2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/docs"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wpgeodirectory.com\/docs-v2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/docs"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wpgeodirectory.com\/docs-v2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=607"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wpgeodirectory.com\/docs-v2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/docs\/607\/revisions"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wpgeodirectory.com\/docs-v2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/docs\/460"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wpgeodirectory.com\/docs-v2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=607"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"doc_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wpgeodirectory.com\/docs-v2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/doc_tag?post=607"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
