Add Listing Form

Shortcode: [gd_add_listing]

1. This shortcode allows you to create your own Add Listing page(s).
2. By default GD uses the same Add Listing page to generate different forms for all different Custom Post Types and/or price packages.  For example:
   1. https://yoursite.com/add-listing/?listing_type=gd_place&package_id=1
   2. https://yoursite.com/add-listing/?listing_type=gd_event&package_id=6
3. Do not add this shortcode to the Add Listing page selected at GD > Permalinks > GeoDirectory Pages > Add Listing page.
   That page is reserved for GD generated pages, so only add this shortcode to any extra WP pages.
4. After you have created all your custom Add Listing pages, you might have to permanently delete the temporary default Add Listing page that is selected at GD > Permalinks > GeoDirectory Pages > Add Listing page before your custom Add Listing pages will work.

Parameters:

• listing_type – The custom post type to use (default=gd_place)
• login_msg – The message to show to logged out users (default = You must login to post.)
• show_login – show the login widget to logged out users (default = false)
