Hi,

thanks for your question. I will flag it for the developers to share more about that.

Hi!

Maybe you mean a listing custom field? Try this one:
https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs-v2/places/custom/

These settings apply only to the listing page:
GD – Design – Listings – Description word limit

Limiting input count is done in the price package.

Well, let me clarify.
CSS is good for off/on.
There are settings.
If it is a shortcode then the settings for char length are in the shortcode.
If it is a page, then the options are in
GD – Design – Listings – Description word limit

This CSS will hide that but should be targeted to the page you are working on.

div.geodir-entry-content {
    display: none;
}

GDV1 doesn’t have display options for the post content field

If you have any custom fields you should instead add a sample listing and when you fill the form, fill in the required fields. Then export the listing to see the proper CSV format and have a guide to required fields.

Of the fields you listed –

Required
post_title post_author post_content post_category post_type post_status street city region country zip latitude longitude

Leave blank for new listings
ID

2. You will need to use the Category ID, the number assigned to each category. You can see the IDs in the WP Backend on the Places Categories page.

3. Yes, post_author is required and needs a value. All listings can of course be assigned to as single author to begin with and reassigned later.
