Please provide site details and we will take a look at what’s happening there.
Apologies for the delay,
I am getting “Invalid Username/password”
Please validate the credentials and repost.
An Update will be released for WP Easy Updates to address some issues. Make sure to update it when you have a moment.
Hello,
your topic has been flagged for the developers, thanks for your patience while they look into it.
To allow users to register and add listings, you need to allow Anyone to register.
From the main WordPress Dashboard menu, choose Settings > General > Tick Anyone can register, and Save changes.
1) I notice the GEOdirectory related tabs are still missing from the UsersWP plugin (like Owned Places, Favorites, …) . Is this because that plugin still needs updating?
Yes, UsersWP integration is still ahead.
2) I tried the Ninja integration some more. When creating a new Ninja form, the only new thing I see is the “GeoDirectory Contact Form”. So I created that one, and then I added a new Shortcode Custom Fields tab. There, I pasted the shortcode from Ninja forms. I assumed that would bring up the contact form, but that tab remains empty in the front-end. Am I doing it wrong?
Doc is here, https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs-v2/addons/ninja-forms/
Let us know if we need to look at the settings.3) The release date for the v2 core was May, we are now mid-June. do you have an updated ETA, or some news to share on that front?
I think you made another topic asking for updates? How about re-posting this question there: https://wpgeodirectory.com/support/topic/design-work/
1.) if someone joins under the free package when “Renewal for free package? Tick to allow renewal of listing with free package.” is NOT ticked and then I tick it later before their listing expires does it apply to every listing that was added before it was ticked?
Yes, it will apply to every listing with a free package.
2.) if I change the 30 day free package from 30 days to, say, 6 months does a listing that joined under the 30 free package instantly change from 30 days to 6 months (whether renewal is ticked or not)? or does it change when they renew (if renewal is ticked before they joined or after they joined)?
No, the package days for existing listings will not change unless they are renewed and adopt the new settings.
Take a look at
WordPress – Settings – Permalinks
and set to ‘Post name’
https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/basic-installation/#postnames
I have changed the setting and cannot see the problem now.
Let us know how it goes.
If you are referring to the List Manager addon, no, there is not.
Hello,
we advise against using categories for ‘locations’. Each port could be a category, so you can use the categories to group items that are in each port, and then category pages will show all the listings in the category, but generally categories are used to discriminate between different types of businesses.
Each port is also a geographically distinct city (area)? If it is a city then the listings will be shown on the city location page.
You could use a custom field that identifies the port associated with the listing. A drop down select field with the names of all the ports.
GeoDirectory can definitely handle thousands and thousands of listings.
You may want to have a CPT for ports, and then a CPT for Business/Services. Then you could link Business/Services to the port.

Please make a private reply with the details of your site if we need to check your settings.
It is possible that address/location for this CPT has been disabled at
GeoDirectory – General – Select CPT to disable physical location
If that isn’t it, check to make sure your maps are working in other places.
If we need to check the settings please including WP Admin credentials and the WP Admin login URL in a private reply.
Hello Mike,
usually shortcodes are used to show listings inside WordPress Pages and Posts.
You can find the list of shortcodes here:
https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/core-shortcodes/
https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/location-manager-shortcodes/
https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/event-manager-shortcodes/
https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/custom-post-type-shortcodes/Here is an ontroduction to shortcodes in case they are new to you: http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-add-a-shortcode-in-wordpress/
Hello,
With the code snippet below it is possible to limit all recurring events to display only a single event. I’d suggest that you give it a try and see if it’s what you’re looking for. Let us know how it goes.
function geodir_event_single_recurring( $groupby, $post_type ) { if ( $post_type == 'gd_event' ) { global $wpdb; $groupby = " GROUP BY $wpdb->posts.ID "; } return $groupby; } add_filter('geodir_filter_widget_listings_groupby', 'geodir_event_single_recurring', 100, 2 );you can also do the same for search results with this snippet:
/** * Group the recurring events in search results. */ function gd_custom_group_recurring_events( $groupby, $wp_query ) { global $wpdb; if ( !empty( $_REQUEST['stype'] ) && $_REQUEST['stype'] == 'gd_event' && $wp_query->is_main_query() && geodir_is_page( 'search' ) ) { $groupby = $wpdb->posts . ".ID"; } return $groupby; } add_filter( 'posts_groupby', 'gd_custom_group_recurring_events', 100, 2 );For more about code snippets see: https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/customizing-your-style/
If you need help to customize the snippet you can find a developer here: https://geodirectoryexperts.com
Most of these questions are related to customization, which is outside of what we can help with in the forum here. Most of what I see below needs testing, and probably ample developer support to examine the interactions between GD and Toolset.
1)–GD has the default Places CPT, which Toolset Types recognizes. Does it matter whether I put the Places Taxonomies/Categories (& their Subcategories, and respective Fields/Terms/Values)—which Toolset can manipulate in 1-to-many and many-to-many relationships– into GD, or would it be best to place them into Toolset?
It would not be recommended to alter the included taxonomies or their features, but pointing to taxonomies or values from Toolset should not cause any issues.
2)–is it a requirement to use the default Places CPT for GD to function properly, or could I delete that? (I don’t see any need to make a decision to delete Places at this point, just wondering if that’s a possibility to do, for less straddling of data/more optimal organization, between GD and Toolset).
Places cannot be deleted, but, if there are no listings in the “Places CPT” then it will not show up in the search field or other GD pages, and a different CPT with a different name can be used.
3)–I plan to use the Toolset Views (logic) to create the 1-to-many, and many-to-many, relationships, and their complex nested queries, between a single CPT’s multiple Taxonomies (& their Fields/Terms/Values), as well as complex queries between multiple CPTs’ Taxonomies (Fields/Terms/Values). Is that compatible with GD?
Unknown, and would need testing.
4)–If I manipulate a theme with Toolset’s Layouts plugin (which adds wireframing and layout ‘cells’ where one can place templates with Taxonomy or CPT fields/values), is there any issue with compatibility with GD, or GD’s optimized database architecture?
This would have to be tested and then addressed on a case by case basis.
5)–can I use GD’s “GD Framework” theme with Toolset’s Layout wireframing/cells?
This has not been tested, but we look forward to hearing about it.
6)–I read somewhere that you will possibly be discontinuing the less popular GD themes, rather than updating them to v2. Is GD Framework still going to be updated to v2?
The focus now is on the plugin, and there are so many improvements in V2 that many of the features of themes can now be accomplished with V2 templates, widgets and shortcodes. In essence we are looking forward to less reliance on theme functions.
Overall I would recommend keeping your Toolset strategy for relationships to start with a firm foundation as a relationship ‘pointing to’ GD listings so as to avoid the complexity of deeper integration.
This would require customization of the add-listing template, as described in the link you mentioned. This is considered customization and outside of what we can do here in support.
I would recommend you consider an alternate route. Create a WordPress page with your pricing tables, and then at the bottom, instead of a radio place a link to the unique page URL for the price package. Then, on the add-listing page, hide the package information with CSS.
