Hello,

Try changing the settings, then resaving, as described here: https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs-v2/geodirectory/settings/permalinks/#404

Search for field will search titles/category/tags/description

Adding the category as a select to the search bar will filter results by the selected category.

I see what you mean there. Please update all GD Addons and let us know if that doesn’t fix the problem.

Claims have a notification (orange dot with number) that shows on the geodirectory menu item. If you continue to have a problem with the dashboard, let us know while it is happening and we will take a look.

Thanks

Please share WP Admin credentials and we will look into why the default issue is working the way it is for featured. It should show in the dropdown. All sorting options, if available in the UI, should work.

The ‘Grid’ display can look however you want because you can make a custom archive item template that has the style you want, just for events.

Events have several additional options for settings, in the GeoDirectory -> Settings, in Events -> Settings -> Sort etc
