Please could you advise how to achieve the following ASAP:

Having opened an account, it’s possible for the user to enter details about themselves. The form is entitled ‘Enter Listing Details’. It could say something a bit friendlier like, ‘Your details’ or ‘Tell us a bit about yourself’. How do i change this language? Also, once signed up, there doesnt seem to be any way to view my profile to edit it?

First input field. ‘Person title’. If this is prompting for Mr / Mrs / Miss, then I think just ‘Title’ sounds a bit more natural. Nobody says ‘Person title’. However, I don’t think this input field is necessary. ‘First name’ or ‘Username’ would be fine. How do I change this?

Category on add listing page. This field is prepopulated with text ‘Select category’, which seems a bit redundant. There is an arrow indicating a pull down menu. When I pull it down, it says Select Category again (which seems redundant) and there is only one category. If there’s only one category, then ‘category’ is a redundant field. How can it select the ONLY category I have by default?

The Address input field has a label that says ‘Enter a name for your Adresss’. This doesn’t make sense, what is it for? Can it be removed?

No listings found which match your selection’. Please can ‘which’ be changed to ‘that’? No listings found that match your selection. How do I change this language?

Thank you.

Hi Gary,

Kindly refer this documentation https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/translate-core/ as it explains how you can change those texts using the translate method. As for the “Category Dropdown menu”, a category must be manually selected even though you only have one and there is currently no option that allows you to select a default category.

Thanks!

The category dropdown is already pretty clunky and is completely unnecessary when there is only one category. Since the map doesn’t work without a category, the development choice is either a poor user interface or no map.

I have written a script to work around this. This will work with only one category, but should be pretty easy for a jquery programmer to expand to other things.

1) Configure your Category field to be radio.

2) In your CSS include something like this to hide it from the form
```
#gd_placecategory_row { display: none; }
```
3) In your footer scripts include this which checks the radio button upon submitting the form:
```
<script>
$("#geodir-wrapper #propertyform").submit(function() {
  $('#gd_placecategory input[type=radio]').prop("checked", true);
});
</script>
```
