Please help me.

I am creating an Australian Local Tradies and Services Directory where most businesses don’t have a physical location (no storefront) – they come to the customer.

So I’m wondering how I can tag a business (GD place), so it shows up in multiple suburbs when searched.

I don’t want to have to purchase yet another plugin to get the search bar to function correctly.

We need a search bar that has–
– First selection has a dropdown to choose from business categories.
– Second selection to choose a suburb and only show business categories that were selected in the first selection.

After search button is clicked – should only show the businesses that are in that business category and in that selected suburb OR SUBURBS.

Website: https://demo.findnetsolutions.com/

We already have:
geodir_location_manager-2.0.0.14
geodir_advance_search_filters-2.0.0.7

Please advise me on how I can achieve having a single business appear in multiple suburbs.

Thank very much.

Hi Nicky Cane,

Thanks for your post. You can insert a category dropdown selection in the search form following the instructions here https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs-v2/addons/advanced-search/#settings . What will happen is your visitors will choose the appropriate CPT and then select the categories of the CPT.

Please see also https://wpgeodirectory.com/support/topic/specific-location-suburb-search-for-business-categories/

Businesses without addresses cannot be searched by location.
The “Search for” [in your case “Business details”] will check the listings’ titles, description and taxonomies (tags and categories) of the listings.
So if you tag a listing with Brisbane, West End, or add those suburbs to the description, then a search in “Business details” will find them.

Your permalinks seem to be set up incorrectly. If we need to check your settings, add your WP admin details in a private reply.
Thanks

I added category to the permalinks and it seems to work, please check.

Looks like you have some CSS turning active links white.
```
dl.geodir-tab-head dd.geodir-tab-active a {
    color: #FFFFFF;
}
```
Probably want to change that to something else to see the active tab name.
