Hello!
can’t wait to see what you come up with!
Hello!
What is your question about the footer?
footer.footer { background-color: pink; }Hello!
You can try deleting the plugin and then reinstalling (reuploading) a fresh copy.
If you need Location Manger, then you need Location Manager 🙂
Let us know if you need us to take a look at something.
Hello!
– is my presumption correct that the GD plugin and template files dont come with any format and just deliver the functionality, i.e. if I was to use a shortcode it would deliver me in a clean way without any CSS format the functionality and I could then add my CSS?
There is markup, that is why a site appears and it is not just black and white Times Roman on the screen. You can add your CSS at GD > Design > CSS
– what is the best way to format the functionalities, i.e. lets say I create a page (without any theme) and loaded the search box with [gd_advanced_search] on a site. How can I then change the layout of the search box, e.g. colours, rename the submit button etc? My best guess would be to call for a CSS class (in the page code) before the insertion of the shortcode and define the design for the search box in the style.css?
CSS for design, translate the plugin to change text: https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/translate-core/– if one would want to create its own theme and thus customised website, would be the best approach indeed to load the shortcodes where needed and format the whole page including the functionalities via one style.css or would there be a better way?
You can use any theme you like. You can make your own pages and use widgets and shortcodes. Add CSS where needed in GD > Design > CSS
– what are the actions, hooks, and filters for? Could you make an example? Where can I learn more about these or see which ones are available (I saw on your second link the actions of course!)?
There is a collection here https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/common-code-snippets/
– on the second link the template section is split by php pages, presumably all the template pages that the GD plugin uses. However, I dont see the direct benefit as when I click on the template pages, I always see the same list of actions just in different lines. Clicking on the action it tells me the source code. So my overall take away from that link is that it offers the source code that can be copy pasted into any customised website or to amend the template php pages?
If you really want to make a new GeoDirectory plugin then you could make a copy of those php files.
Hello!
You can take a look at the demo. In some cases the theme will override the plugin settings:

Hello!
You can
1) Create additional listings for each area or
2) Use the Franchise addon to enable your agents to add additional service areas (plus, they only need to update some info once)https://wpgeodirectory.com/downloads/franchise-manager/
https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/category/addons/franchise-manager/Hello!
You can reorder the fields in GD > Place Setttings > Custom Fields (Drag and Drop)
You can drag your fields as ‘high’ as they can go, but no further, and making them ‘higher’ in the form above those required fields is not possible without customization.
Hello!
You can customize your style by adding CSS to GD > Design > CSS
Hello!
Categories are required.
You can set the category default value, and then set it as a radio button.
You would do all that in the GD > CPT Settings > Fields
Hello!
1# Emails can be edited in GD > Notifications

I haven’t seen any Kleo users with a map like that.
In the next version of GD, V2, we intend to minimize the interaction with the theme even more and move away from functions/features ‘in’ the theme itself. We look forward to the release in the not too distant future..no dates yet, but soon.
I think you should pick the theme you like, the one that provides the support and features you need, and go with that.
Send us some more information about the blue background, if it is still a problem.
Hello!
Search for Pamela in everywhere gets results, shows Pamela’s listing.
If you have “Near Me” results turned on, then, yes, it will only return results near to the person doing the searching.
For many directories just starting out, the answer is to A) add listings in a small territory and B) turn off ‘near’ features if there is a chance the search results will be empty. Further C) if you want to make sure visitors land on a Listing page (for a location or a category) then give them those links so they can click there.
If, as you say, you want users to find something in a town, give them a link to the page for the town.
In cases like yours, where you want to run a national directory, but don’t have many listings yet, or even if you do, the Near Me features are not really very helpful. Your users will get ‘more better’ results if they are always searching ‘everywhere’, at least more results like the kind they are expecting.
