By default it shows the categories, a map, the search bar and listings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add listing page: the form users fill in to add a listing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Search Page: the search results.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Terms and Conditions page: linked from the add listing form.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Details, Archive and Archive item pages under Template Page Settings are templates. They control how listing pages, category pages and the listing cards look, and they should never be linked to directly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Older guides also mention pages such as GD Home, GD Login, Listing Preview, Listing Success and GD Info. Those belonged to GeoDirectory v1, and current versions do not use them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Make the directory your home page or add it to a menu<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the directory is only one part of a bigger site, add the Location page to your menu at Appearance &gt; Menus (see <a href=\"https:\/\/wpgeodirectory.com\/documentation\/article\/first-steps\/menu-items\/\">Menu Items<\/a>). To use it as the home page, go to Settings &gt; Reading, choose &#8220;A static page&#8221; and select it as the homepage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More on each setting: <a href=\"https:\/\/wpgeodirectory.com\/documentation\/article\/explore-settings\/settings-overview-for-general-pages\/\">Settings overview for General &gt; Pages<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GeoDirectory needs a few WordPress pages to work.
