Hello!
Did you enable Location Manager as well?
Let me know and then I will take another look.
Hello Kathy,
How are you filtering the events? Are you trying to use some custom fields for date filtering?
GeoDirectory events are usually filtered with ‘upcoming’ or ‘past’, with the assumption that the user is looking for upcoming events.
Here’s a demo of events using Supreme Directory child theme:
Hello Javier,
GeoDirectory does not offer a plugin that uses a file called buddypress-es_MX.po
You an see the names of the BuddyPress integration addon files here, which we do support:
https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/translating-addons/
The file names related to buddypress are:
/wp-content/languages/plugins/gdbuddypress-en_US.mo
/wp-content/languages/plugins/bp-compliments-en_US.moFor issues with 3rd party plugins or their translations you will need to contact the plugin authors. We literally do not have the file that you are talking about for BuddyPress.
What we can help with is providing you with a way to figure out where those strings are coming from. We have 3 pages that cover everything we support:
Translate themes:https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/translating-themes/
Translare GeoDirectory Core: https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/translate-core/
Translate GeoDirectory Addons: https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/translating-addons/If you read through the page about translating addons, you can see a link to the current translations of the most popular addons we offer. The site, linked below, is a pretty easy to use facility for ‘filtering’ the translations of each of the addons.
https://wpgeodirectory.com/translate/projects/
To use the site, you first choose the addon where you think the string is coming from. For example, this is a link to the GeoDirectory Buddypress Integration addon for the Spanish language with the Mexico locale:
https://wpgeodirectory.com/translate/projects/gdbuddypress/es-mx/mx/
The next step is to search for the string you want to translate. On the left side of that page, you can see the word ‘Filter’. You can click that, and then enter in all or part of the string you are trying to translate. The search results will tell you whether that string is located inside the translation file for the particular addon or not.
The first string you listed above was about ‘replies’, so I type that in and I get no results, which means there aren’t any strings in the file that contain the word ‘replies’. Here is that page showing the results.
I also quickly checked inside GeoDirectory core for ‘replies’, also no results:
I also opened up the language files for Supreme and Directory Starter, and did not see the text ‘replies’.
That tells me that this text string is not in the suspect files.
BuddyPress has their own string filter site here, and ‘replies’ is present in several strings:
https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/buddypress/stable/en-ca/default?filters%5Bterm%5D=replies&filters%5Buser_login%5D=&filters%5Bstatus%5D=current_or_waiting_or_fuzzy_or_untranslated&filter=Filter&sort%5Bby%5D=priority&sort%5Bhow%5D=descThe word ‘conversation’ also does not occur in the GeoDirectory files. The string must be in some other plugin, but not a GeoDirectory plugin.
I hope you find the tools helpful in tracking down other string. I know it can be frustrating. One trick I have learned is to open up the code inspector and to look at the name of the div wrapped around the text. It is often prefixed with the name of the plugin providing the text. GeoDirectory text elements are usually wrapped in a tag starting with geodir.
As far as why the plugin is not loading your translation, I can tell you what we check first if there is an issue with loading a translation file:
File naming
File location
Strings are available (plugin/translation version match)
WordPress language setting matchTo diagnose the issue further, I can only only refer you to the plugin author, and their instructions for where translation files should be located and to their support for deeper diagnosis as to why the translation is not loading.

This reply has been marked as private.Hello @javier!
I am sorry to hear you are having a problem with that. However, we won’t be able to help you because we don’t provide support for BuddyPress plugins here in the GeoDirectory forums.
Please contact the BuddyPress authors for help with that, they will know how to resolve those issues.
Thanks, and sorry we can’t be of more help here
Hi Joel!
WordPress has a lot of built-in options, including custom fields. Here’s an introduction to custom fields that will show you how to view the settings:
Hello Matt,
thanks for writing in with your issue.
Have you already configured your WP Media settings as mentioned here?
https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/basic-installation/#mediaIf you have, then it must be something else. We can take a look at your settings if you like. Just make a private reply here with your site URL and your WP Admin credentials.
Hello Stewart,
Welcome to the forum, and thanks for writing in with your questions 🙂
It sounds like location is a really important part of your website. There are a variety of ways to configure the settings for search, and most of them are covered here on this page:
https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/gd-search/I would highly recommend looking through that for background information. About your specific questions:
1# Is there a way to make Near be the main searcher so you can use a City or Postcode without having to use ‘Search For’ at all; or flip Search For to look for Location?
You can hide any of the search input fields with CSS. For example:
input.search_text {display:none !important;} input.snear {width:100%;font-size: 11px;}However, be sure to read the section in about the Near Field here: https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/gd-search/#near
2# …the Map using Google API keeps breaking, so you can’t click an Icon or right click over the Map
Do you have other map plugins loading? Could another plugin be loading the Gmaps API? A couple things to check are listed here: https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/faqs/why-is-the-map-now-showing-on-the-detail-page/
You might consider giving your visitors a direct link to a location. Check out the Location Manager shortcodes here, and be sure to check out the options for the GD Home/Locations page: https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/layout/#home
If those don’t suit your needs, write back and with more details about your site and what you want to do. You can tell us how listings and locations you plan to have, and let us know if you have already tried out the near field drop down functionality.
Also, we can take a look at your site settings to identify the issue with Google Maps. You can create a private reply, just check “Set as private reply” so only our team can see the text. You can include your site URL and WP Admin credentials so we can take a look at your settings.
Thanks again for writing in, and we look forward to seeing your site!
This reply has been marked as private.Hi @justmark,
Could it be that you have the ReCaptcha from two plugins working/enabled?
Both GeoDirectory and UsersWp have one. That in itself can also cause that error, as the error is triggered when there is more than one request to the API from the same page.
Let us know what you find
Hi Ana,
glad to hear you have it working!
Let us know if you have more questions.
Looking forward to seeing your site!
Hello!
Never fear! You can adjust the GD settings, and then, if you do find broken URLs, just resave your WP Peralinks again and they will all get fixed up.
Do let us know if that doesn’t seem to be the case (in which case it may be a settings conflict, and we can help you figure it out).
Hello Dan,
Thanks for writing in today. There are a couple things you can do to make the Listing page fit your needs. I will list them out here and you can write back and let us know how it goes.
1# Increase posts per page the WP way (Applies to Listing Pages, like categories)
Visit WP > Reading and raise the number of posts shown on each page.
https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/faqs/how-do-i-change-the-number-of-listings-per-page/2# Add the advanced pagination customization (Screenshot attached)
This customization will add some of the pagination details to the top of the page. Carrying it out requires a PHP Snippet, Custom CSS, and configuring setting.
2A# Add Snippet –add_action('geodir_before_listing', 'geodir_pagination',100);2B# Add Custom CSS –
.Navi.gd-navi {display: initial !important;}2C# Settings – Go to GD > Design > Search > Show advanced pagination details choose to show it ‘After’.
3# ServerAdmin Resource Intensive Override (Caution! Applies to Listing and Search Pages)
This Member snippet will override WP settings and show lots of listings. It is not recommended but, it works, and should be used with great caution and with the knowledge that is may increase load times or make your server catch fire.
https://wpgeodirectory.com/support/topic/show-all-listings-on-map/#post-164494# Inform your visitors with custom text using translation
You can use translation to change text that you see in the GD content areas. Follow the translation instructions at the link to find text strings, and rewrite them to give your users more information about what they are seeing
https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/translate-core/I hope these options get you where you want to go, but if they don’t please write back and let us know what we can do!
If you have a different question, please feel free to make a new ticket
Thanks! And write back to let us know how it goes!
For more about how to add Custom CSS and Snippets, please see:
https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/customizing-your-style/For help with implementing customizations on your site please contact a GD Expert at:
https://geodirectoryexperts.comThis reply has been marked as private.Hi Rigo,
thanks for the feedback, we will keep it in mind.
One thing about GeoDirectory is that it can be used with any theme, and because each site owner does things a little differently with the GeoDirectory settings, we have a standard way of enabling site owners to give special instructions to their own site members for forms using translations.
What you can do is translate the core plugin to alter the text instructions you give to your site visitors. You can search for any string you find in the front end editor form, and change that string in the translation file.
Themes and plugins have separate translation files, so, we can’t/don’t include special instructions which each theme, but that’s an interesting idea, too, something we will also keep in mind as we continue the work on the next version of the plugin.
Thanks again
