You can put a contact button on every listing card on category, archive and search pages with the GD > Ninja Forms block. Each button opens your contact form in a lightbox for that listing, so visitors can message a business without opening its page. The listing’s email address is not printed on the page.

You need the free Ninja Forms plugin and a contact form set up to send to the listing. Follow the Ninja Forms integration guide first.

Add the button to the listing cards

1. Go to GeoDirectory > Settings > General > Pages and find Archive item page. This page is the template for each listing card.
2. Edit that page.
3. Add the GD > Ninja Forms block where you want the button.
4. Select your form, set Text to something like “Contact” and choose Button as the output type.
5. Turn on Post Contact form. The button then only shows on listings that have an email address.
6. Update the page.

If you use shortcodes, this does the same. Replace 1 with your form ID:

[gd_ninja_forms form_id="1" text="Contact" post_contact="1" output="button"]

The button settings are explained in GD > Ninja Forms.
