If you choose a page template for the &#8220;Places Detail Page&#8221;, for example, then a developer can override in this order:<\/p>\n<p>1. Does the GD Page have a Page Attributes -> Page Template selected? -> Use the selected Page Template<br \/>\n2. Is there a page override set in the design settings (there are GD settings for Details and one for Archives). -> Use the selected template.<br \/>\n3. Does the theme have a geodirectory-archive.php template?<br \/>\n4. Does the theme have a geodirectory.php template?<br \/>\n5. If none of the above then page.php template will be used.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>Supreme Directory child theme -> WP Page -> Page Attributes -> Template <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/wpgeodirectory.com\/docs-v2\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2018\/03\/Screenshot-2018-10-11-at-7.55.53-PM.png\"><img src=\"http:\/\/wpgeodirectory.com\/docs-v2\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2018\/03\/Screenshot-2018-10-11-at-7.55.53-PM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"262\" height=\"288\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-382\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Kleo Theme  -> WP Page -> Page Attributes -> Template <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/wpgeodirectory.com\/docs-v2\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2018\/03\/Screenshot-2018-10-11-at-8.00.50-PM.png\"><img src=\"http:\/\/wpgeodirectory.com\/docs-v2\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2018\/03\/Screenshot-2018-10-11-at-8.00.50-PM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"256\" height=\"423\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-383\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wpgeodirectory.com\/docs-v2\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2018\/03\/Screenshot-2018-10-11-at-8.00.50-PM.png 256w, https:\/\/wpgeodirectory.com\/docs-v2\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2018\/03\/Screenshot-2018-10-11-at-8.00.50-PM-182x300.png 182w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 256px) 100vw, 256px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><a href=\"#per-page\" name=\"per-page\">How can I show more listings on the Archive pages?<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The number of posts shown with the gd_loop shortcode on the Archive pages is controlled by the setting for &#8220;Posts per page&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>For a typical WordPress installation, this setting can be found at<\/p>\n<p><strong>WordPress- Settings &#8211; Reading &#8211; Posts per page<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Some themes have a setting that overrides the WordPress setting, so, if you have already changed the WP setting and aren&#8217;t seeing any results, check your theme.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to show more posts of a certain listing type you will need to customize your site; a <a href=\"https:\/\/geodirectoryexperts.com\/experts\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">GD Expert<\/a> can help you with that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":9,"menu_order":5,"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\/76"}],"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=76"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wpgeodirectory.com\/docs-v2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/docs\/76\/revisions"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wpgeodirectory.com\/docs-v2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/docs\/9"}],"next":[{"title":"Shortcode Builder","link":"https:\/\/wpgeodirectory.com\/docs-v2\/geodirectory\/shortcode-builder\/","href":"https:\/\/wpgeodirectory.com\/docs-v2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/docs\/289"}],"prev":[{"title":"Personalize","link":"https:\/\/wpgeodirectory.com\/docs-v2\/geodirectory\/personalize\/","href":"https:\/\/wpgeodirectory.com\/docs-v2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/docs\/617"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wpgeodirectory.com\/docs-v2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=76"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"doc_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wpgeodirectory.com\/docs-v2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/doc_tag?post=76"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
