\n\tMuch like WordPress Posts, GeoDirectory CPTs too support tags of their own as custom taxonomies. Listing Tags can serve a wide range of purposes. <\/p>\n

Better Organization<\/h2>\n

\n\tThe most straightforward usage for Listing Tags is to group and organize listings in a better manner. Each tag gets an archive of its own — this archive page uses the GD Archive page template and can be customized via page builders, to add elements such as Google Maps, and so on. <\/p>\n

Filter Listings<\/h2>\n

\n\tYou can use Listing Tags to filter and sort listings. For instance, you can use GD Map<\/a> and GD Listings<\/a> widgets to show listings for only a specific tag. <\/p>\n

\n\tYou may also use GD Post Badge<\/a> to set a badge for a specific tag to display it with a specific color and an icon easily. Just use ‘is_contains’<\/strong> and then write your tag for the value to match. <\/p>\n

\n\tYou can also display tags using the GD Post Meta<\/a> element. <\/section>\n

Can Anyone Edit Tags? <\/h2>\n

\n\tBy default, CPT tags follow the same access rules as WP native tags. However, you can make them “admin-only”, so that only administrators can add, edit and delete Listing Tags. <\/p>\n

\n
1<\/dt>\n
\n\tHead to CPT > Settings > Custom Fields. <\/strong>Locate the Tags <\/strong>custom field. \n\t<\/dd>\n

\t\"\"<\/p>\n

2<\/dt>\n
\n\tCheck the box against Admin Only Edit? <\/strong>option. You might need to click the Show Advanced<\/a> <\/strong>option to display this particular setting. \n\t<\/dd>\n

\t\"\"<\/p>\n

3<\/dt>\n
\n\tSave your settings. \n\t<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
