    Try this one out, to setup advanced search filters first.
    After you have it running, write back and let us know if there are changes you want to make and we will help out 🙂

    Hello,

    We can look into that; could you tell us a bit more about the situation, please?

    Can you share the GD Login page, please?

    Which payment plan are you testing?

    Which gateway are you testing with? Is it in sandbox mode?

    Yes, you will need the pricing manager to do that. There is no other way to do it.

    Hello,

    some sites make extensive use of it.

    For example, some sites have ‘avid fans’ in one or two cities and lots of listings in those locations, so they create links directly to those locations.

    You need to keep the GD Permalinks pages in place, so you don’t get 404 errors, but there’s no harm in focusing on what is important to your site visitors.

    Hello

    please see https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/core-permalinks/#url
    and https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/troubleshooting-guide/

    After you adjust GD Permalinks, do resave WP Permalinks at WP > Settings > Permalinks
    Make sure there is a (unique) page for each GD Permalink setting

    If you are adding listings in more than one city, you must use the full location in the URL.

    Both find staff and contact work for me,the pages show.

    Try disabling all the cache while you work on the site so you avoid false positives.

    Hello,

    it is not a supported use case to load the same site at two different URLs.

    The site is generating CORS errors in the console. If you can fix those, the map will load. The best fix is to get SSL certs for the sites and to make sure you replace all occurrences of http with https.

    Hello,

    it is only possible to move the description field to the end with a major customization. This will be improved in later versions, and we appreciate your bringing it to our attention.

    Place description can be made optional with a snippet.

    https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/common-code-snippets/#desc

    Once rendered optional, you can hide it with CSS.

    For information about using snippets, creating custom CSS, and adding custom CSS to your GD, we have this page:

    https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/customizing-your-style/

    You could change the name of the Title to “Review Title” by editing the options for the singular name in the options at GD > Custom Post Types > edit

    Is there a specific reason you don’t want to use the built in reviews and rating functionality?

    That would mean something is very wrong on the site.

    We would be happy to take a look at your settings to see if we can find the problem.

    Please create a private reply and include all the information listed below so we can make a complete diagnosis.

    To be clear, all your plugins should be up to date, and you should add the custom fields to the CPT you are working with. Then the export CSV should contain the columns.

    URL for a sample listing with custom fields:

    WordPress Credentials
    WP Admin Login URL:
    WP Admin Username:
    WP Admin Password:

    Hello,

    Our members use all different kinds of builders, and we don’t feel the need to recommend any specific builder. Every builder has plusses and minusses and ups and downs, and we can all expect some learning curves ahead with the addition of Gutenberg to WP Core, which is itself a kind of builder. If we recommend something, I would say it is closer to general advice to continue to build skills with HTML and CSS and to avoid dependency on a builder. Builders often include huge amounts of additional JS and CSS, all of which ‘can’ slow page load speed. Plus you end up with a site riddled with shortcodes that can’t necessarily be replaced directly and where CSS used with inline styles might have done the trick.

    You can keep using that builder, or any other builder, but you will need to speak with the builder author about how to use it to add widgets or shortcodes with the builder.

    The issue here is that the builder has some specific instructions for using widgets and shortcodes. This is true for most builders, that each one has specific instructions. The builders have specific instructions because otherwise the builder outputs a huge amount of CSS and HTML that (slows the page waaaaay down and) often has an unintended effect (read:butchers) the output. This is just ‘how it is’ with builders in a lot of cases, that a couple extra steps must be taken to use them, and I have yet to see one that doesn’t require something to that effect.

    Other members can chime in if they have had good experiences. Some have mentioned Kleo, in the past.

    Hello,

    I checked the URLs and I see the detail page for each of the listings, individually.

    Can you send a screenshot of what you are seeing?

    Hello,

    I can see the field in the add listing form, and the CSS appears to be working on the detail page.

    Can you say more about the issue?

    Hello,

    you can use the following snippet to display the description in the map bubble

    
    
    
    function _gd_custom_description_on_map_bubble( $post_ID, $gd_post, $post_preview = false ) { 
    	global $post;
    	$old_post = $post;
    	$post = geodir_get_post_info($post_ID);
    	$char_length = 40; // char limit
    	$post->post_excerpt = $post->post_content;
    	$content_out = geodir_max_excerpt( $char_length );
    	if ( ! empty( $content_out ) ) {
    		echo '<div class="geodir_more_info gd-post-desc"><p>' . $content_out . '</p></div>';
    	}
    	$post = $old_post;
    }
    add_action( 'geodir_infowindow_meta_before', '_gd_custom_description_on_map_bubble', 10, 3 );

    Hello,
    It uses only the post title and URL at the moment, leaving the rest to the person doing the sharing.

    you can check the functions here: https://wpgeodirectory.com/codex/codex/geodirectory_functions/geodir_twitter_tweet_button/

    No strings to translate for this feature at this time.

    Other members have chosen to add a different social share plugin as opposed to cusotmizing it themselves.
