    Hi There

    I am just upgrading because it appears that this is required now (at least it says so on my plugins page where immediate attention is required). So I guess that version will ultimately not be supported. I did try before but there was a problem with cornerstone so have waiting some time before trying again.

    I am running Pro by Themeco.

    I have followed all the instructions and have the following comments.

    1. GeoDirectory Lists requires to install the Posts 2 Posts plugin. – Bit worried about this one because it is no longer supported and it is 3 years since it was updated and there is no guarantee that it will work with future versions of WP. This will become a security problem in many ways so really this should not be used. Is there an alternative that is actually supported and updated.

    2. Once I carried out the upgrade I get this is the setting area
    GeoDirectory permalink error the following rule appears twice: ^therapies/([^/]*)/?$

    Try making the GeoDirectory permalinks more unique.

    3. The Location map has disappeared from the Business Location Map page.

    4. The gd_login is not available what do people use now as before they would login then I sent them to a page to ask what they wanted to do ie edit or add listing etc. I have a few areas where they can use the login.

    5. Advanced search code does not work is there a list of V2 shortcodes.

    I think basically everything seems to have ported over ok but just a few ends to tie up so any advice much appreciated.

    I have got a live site and a test site which you could look at and compare if that helps.

    Many thanks.

    Kind regards

    Hi Alex

    Yes sorry, no www!

    1. Thank you thats perfect now.

    2. With regard to the sidebar – this is still not showing as it should. I tried changing the default sidebar and adding some gd items BUT some detail is pulled through and not others ie the facebook link etc does not work and you cannot add items that will take the column below the height of the left side as they just dont show!
    Looking at the archive page and the archive item page – they should produce the correct look with all the information in but they are not.
    I have tried changing default template, editing the normal sidebar BUT nothing is working.
    The layout as explained and shown in the video in your reply for item 2 just dont work.
    If I try to edit the page the shortcode maker does not appear. I can add a block and then add some gd elements but they do not look right.

    3. The set up wizard is for a new install so I dont want to run that as this is a conversion and that will overwrite my data.

    4. I can get round most things but the conversion has not pulled through the default layout for some reason so I need to know how to do that.

    5. I still have the permalinks problem even though the settings are correct.

    I have read and re read the instructions but I still cannot get it to look as it should. I am using X Pro from themco so some guidelines are just for your own templates.

    Would appreciate your help as I see you created a page called aaa and this shows the problem with the sidebar ie its picking up the default one and NOT the GD one.

    I really hope that you can help with this as its the last few things before I can get this swapped out for my client.

    Many Thanks.

    Kind regards

    Hi Alex

    Because of what I said above. You cant put much there as anything more than the left column wont show up. The links dont work ie email picks up the email address, facebook etc no links, website no links

    Surely the layout should be achievable to look like it did before and on your demos? Everything appears to be set up in the gd pages for the look of the mini listings BUT it does not follow through and you just get the default sidebar !

    Also still have the permalink problem and also the image sizes which are huge.

    Also the shortcode editor does not appear on some of the pages so difficult to edit any of those ie the gd pages.

    Kind regards

    It looks like you just need the Output Location widget in the sidebar.
    Take a look now and let us know

    You can add more items to that using “Show in extra locations”

    Hi Alex

    Thank you sooo much thats just perfect – I never would have got that. I have now been able to port the dev website over to the Live Website and just have two minor things outstanding.

    1. The permalinks – I notice in settings at there is the normal wp permalinks settings and underneath the gd permalinks as a second set. I am not sure what I need to do to get rid of the error i have detailed in my original support query as the settings appear to be the same in live and dev site.

    2. Same thing with the images. They are showing really large and out of focus for the people who registered. The media settings are same in both sites. Is there somewhere to adjust the size of the images uploaded?

    The site to see now is the Live site which you have the address for and password etc if you need it is the same.

    Again, thank you loads for your help, it is very much appreciated.

    Kind regards
