    It’s my understanding per docs that it’s not possible (practically speaking) to edit the individual “Listing” pages, like to add a description or other content for sake of SEO, user experience, etc. A lot like the home page. I’ve seen lots of forum posts saying it’s possible to create a custom home page, lay it out like you want it, link to that. I installed Beaver Builder and it’s pretty slick, so I’ll probably do that at some point.

    First, is it possible to similarly create a custom version of each Listings page? Even if the system doesn’t accommodate setting a custom page as the destination for clicks to a given category’s expected Listing page, I could set up manual links and auto-redirect to get people to the page I want them on manually.

    I hope so, but am not optimistic. : ( Anyway, if so, from there, what I’d like to create is a virtual clone of the default Listing page (it’s so close to perfect!) but add a block of text at the top. But I can’t figure out which widgets I could drop in there to replicate what’s shown on the default Listings page. Can you tell me which widgets would do that?

    Thanks in advance for your help. – Greg

    Hi Greg,

    Thanks for reaching us and I’m sorry to hear about the difficulties you had while using our plugin. But I’d like you to know that you can always create a custom listing page using shortcodes and here is the section of the documentation for your reference https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/core-shortcodes/#listings

    Thanks!

    Great, thanks. Figured out the shortcode, placed listings and map where I want them, as seen here:

    Two issues/questions:

    1) Is there a setting to turn off the bigass image/page title thing? Y’all did such a nice job on the actual Listings page, what with it full screen to the top of the page. I could display:none; it away with with CSS, but sure would be nice to be able to configure it away.

    2) I’m struggling to make the page full width like the actual Listings pages. I’m using Beaver Builder which I gather you guys recommend, and setting the width of the row and content to “full width” but it’s like y’all’s page template locks it down to the width of content. Here’s the settings I’d EXPECT to make my row span the width of the page.

    Sure hope there’s easy ways to overcome these issues; thanks in advance for your help!

    Hello,

    we don’t recommend any particular builder, but some of our setup demos use Beaver builder as an example.

    Here’s another topic where a member had a similar question. Take a look and let us know if it doesn’t address what you need.

    CSS is the best way to hide the featured area for the moment:
