    I have noticed that in your themes you have the map running across the top of the page. How do I accomplish that without a theme. I already have a theme installed and do not want to mess that up?

    Also for the search function. You have the 2 fields. I want to also add a drop down select box of all the parent categories to search for the business name near the search location. How do I accomplish that?

    Hi almatesic
    In appearance > widgets, you need to add the “GD > Gmap Listing page” widget to the “GD listing top section”.

    For the other question, do you mean that you want it to work like at http://wpgeo.directory/ which has the drop down menu for attractions, events etc? Those are custom post types from the custom post type add-on. It seems you have only Places and categories within that.
    Just as an idea, I suggest some custom post types like financial services with categories like banks etc, and another custom post type like Legal services with categories like lawyers. I guess you get my drift. Then the search function will automatically add the drop down menu for the post types.

    Thank you for the quick response. I updated the widget to have the map in there but the map isn’t showing anywhere. Is there something else that needs to be done?

    I’ll go ahead with the custom post types. Try that out.
