Basically, Location Switcher implements the “change current location” feature on the frontend.

1: Navigate to Appearance > Menus and select the menu that you wish to edit.
2: Locate GeoDirectory Endpoints in menu options. In GeoDirectory Endpoints, find Location Switcher. Check the Change Location box and click Add to Menu.
3: Save the menu.
4: The new menu with the Location Switcher should then be visible on the frontend.

Any new cities that are created will automatically be available in the Location Switcher thereafter.

Adding Location Switcher to Widgets
