I will flag your question for the developers. From what I understand, this option for creating the user on the add-listing page, is meant to be used for community sites where it is highly unlikely that users will come back to manage the listings. That said, the developers may have more ideas about this now that the feature is being widely used. As a best practice, though, if you want to have control over it, you should have the visitor register first before they view the add-listing page. That way you have control over the email through the user management plugin or through other WP facilities.

To use a category filter on the search bar requires adding a select dropdown, as described here:

If you like you can use the Advanced Search Options to disable the category dropdown function, either disabling autocomplete for the search field completely or for titles only.

We always listen to suggestions and we add features based on popularity. We will certainly add it if it is popular request. We don’t have a public roadmap, but, as I mentioned, I have also added to the requests and the developers will take a look at it.

It was working fine when I left it. Whatever you did it is now showing a 503 error when I load a place. What did you do?

I am not sure what you men by ‘template applied’ – the templates are either for all listings or just one CPT like Places. Can you say more about that?

You can add another tab, with a shortcode in it, using the GD Tabs module, but you can’t add that through the divi builder. Instead you should skip using GD Single tabs and just use the code modules with the shortcode builder to add the shortcodes you want.

The map marker for the default category is used.

If you are using checkbox or multiselect you can see the option to set the default category.

There seems to be a problem with the locations in the database. A Lisbon listing is getting lisbon/lisbon//lisbon/lisbon in the URL.

Are you using only the default location? The correct structure for the category+location URL is

/CPT_SLUG/CAT_BASE_SLUG/%category%/%country%/%region%/%city%/

Check your locations database to make sure you don’t have duplicates there. If we need to check the settings please share WP Admin in a private reply.

Try resaving permalinks, as described here, when that happens:
