Hello!
When you make your own page, you would click the + sign and then “Page”. To set your new front page, open your WordPress settings for Reading and choose that page as the Static Front Page.
When you edit your new front page, you have access to whatever tools you have at your disposal, including your builder, as well as the GD widgets or shortcodes that can be used on Non-GD Pages (as shown in the right hand column in the chart):
https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/widgets/
https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/core-shortcodes/We do not have additional guides for custom pages like front/home/landing pages, but Guust linked above to the layout page which is connected to our ‘getting started’ documentation, all of which is related to GD pages and features.
You can also find a GD Expert that can setup your site and provide support for WordPress and 3rd party plugins at https://geodirectoryexperts.com
Hello!
The most common ‘link’ is with the Events plugin. A “venue” is added, and then events are linked to the venue. Each event is unique in itself.
If the Services you will be describing are the same, but then offered by various listings, then maybe a custom field would serve the need: https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/core-place-settings/#custom
For example, I could make a directory of car washes in Los Angeles, and each one offers different services: “Exterior Wash”, “Wheel and Rim Service”, and then “Interior Cleaning”. In that case I would make a custom field in GD > Place Settings , perhaps a multiple select field, with each of those services as an option.
Hello!
Sorry to hear about your trouble with importing listings.
Upon taking a look at your site, I see your default location is set for Emerald, Vidtoria, but upon opening your CSV file, the listing you want to import is not in that city.
You will need the Location Manager Addon to add listings outside your default location.
Please install and license the Location Manager Addon. We recommend then adding another location, like Brunswick, and then creating additional Dummy data. You can ‘prove’ the export/import process by creating, exporting, and then importing dummy data.
Let us know how it goes

1# Centering – It looks centered now
2# Custom Home Pages are very common
3# The plugin is designed to work with ‘all’ themes in the sense that it offers features that are loaded into the #content section of the page, in a way similar to how most builders work. That makes it very easy to figure out which features are from the theme and which are from the plugin because the plugin, even though it offers everything needed for a directory, is self-contained. If the GD themes aren’t working for you, you can try any number of other themes.
4# On pages where the GD plugin is loaded, the GD plugin is loaded, instead of other plugins.
5# This is a WordPress limitationHello!
Change Category and Tag links to remove the Location Filter
Links for Categories and Tags on the Detail page will include the location of the listing. For example, the “Restaurant” Category link includes the location of the listing:
https://MyGeodirectory.com/places/united-kingdom/northern-ireland/newcastle/restaurants/Use the following snippet to make the link for Categories and Tags point to the base page like:
https://MyGeoDirectory.com/places/restaurants/The following Snippet will remove the filter that adds the location slugs to the Category and Tags taxonomy term URL on any page including Listing and Detail pages.
remove_filter('term_link', 'geodir_get_term_link', 10);Add that snippet with the code snippets plugin:
https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/useful-plugins/#snippetsThis will apply to categories and tags both.
For further customization, please contact a GD Expert at https://geodirectoryexperts.com
Hello!
Have you tried out our “Features” Widget?
I added three to your home page to checkout:
https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/widgets/#features
Try removing the widgets from the “Home Right” widget area and see what you think.
Some members have gone the direction of creating a new “Page” that they use at the WP Front Page, the site landing page, and then setting GD Home as a different page, the home page of the Directory on their site.
Going that route allows you to use your builder on your site landing/home page.
Hello!
Perhaps the API maybe of use?

Recommended optimal image size is 800 x 600.
You can adjust your WP Media settings to meet your needs for file size.
Let us know how that works out for you
Hello!
there is a feature similar to that; it is included in the GD Dashboard widget.
If you are asking about making something similar that would link to another site, that would be a customization.
Hello!
That is not possible without a customization.
You may find some help at http://geodirectoryexperts.com/ if you need it.
Hello!
Whoophasa special feature that allows visitors to add images with the “Add Photo” button, and not just the Admin or the Listing owner.
You can try hiding that button with CSS, or maybe a different theme like Supreme Directory will work better for your project.
OK, noted.
Have you already setup your Google custom map?
