Hello.
i ve set the the WPgeo so that if you don’t pay you have a very short description in your Place…
in this context the search “keyword + place” is a bit useless…
is it possible to have the search doing “category + place” instead?

as a added note ( an other issue i believe)
if you try and search ” (keyword field blank) + place” it just

i look for “milan” as city with no keyword
and i get results from all over italy and not only the city i looked for. why?

The search searches the entry titles, description and taxonomies (tags and categories) of the listings:

I am not sure about the other issue, let’s ask Paolo.

Hi,

if you type Milano and click search, you will get result sorted by distance from the center of Milan for a radius set in GeoDirectory >> Search >> Limit squared distance area to X miles (helps improve search speed).

Your website is returning places hundreds of KMs away so you must have set something very high there.

Milan is no mre than 40km wide, so if you want th generic search to return listings around Milano only, you should reduce the value in this setting: Limit squared distance area to X miles (helps improve search speed).

When typing Milano in the near filed, you will notice the Search button shows a loading icon instead of search (means it’s working). If you wait a sec, you’ll notice that an autocompleter will suggest in: Milano (city).

If you select that before searching, it will search exclusively in Milano.

Hope this helps, let us know,

Thanks

Just double checked and I see that search isn’t working as it should. I see both a Milan (city) and Milano (City) which is wrong. I think there are some setup issues.

If you provide admin credentials in a private reply, I’ll have a look.

Let me know,

Thanks

Hi,

there were several setup issues and one majorly conflicting plugin.

The SEO Framework breaks GeoDirectory queries, I suggest to use Yoast that is 100% compatible and very well done.

I’ve deactivated the extra caching plugin you have, you can only use one and that must be GD Booster.

GD Lists (and post 2 post) are only compatible with Whoop, they can’t be used with any other theme.

Now everything seems to work as it should.

Let us know,

Thanks
