Good suggestion – but it made no difference!
On the profile section everything below the actual listing content – including the footer – renders in the middle of the profile content, but works fine on other tabs.
After doing an internal link audit we’ve decided, for now at least, to remove the related posts from the site.
Switching it off works fine on all normal posts, but it messes with the layout of listings by overlaying what should be after the listing across the middle of it. Any ideas?
Thanks for the suggestions Alex.

No, the results you see are what I saw yesterday, although this morning, from my location in a private browser, that search goes shows https://www.carsuk.net/places/essex/, which is where we’d expected, and want, it to go when we set it up.
Essentially, with one CPT, a chunk of the location pages and places pages are the same. For example:
https://www.carsuk.net/location/essex/grays-thurrock/
is effectively the same as
https://www.carsuk.net/places/essex/grays-thurrock/
and
https://www.carsuk.net/location/essex/
is effectively the same as
https://www.carsuk.net/places/essex/We should have worked this out, but it will cause serps confusion.
Search is delivering results for both places and location. A search for Motoring Directory Essex, for example, brought up the location version yesterday (although this morning it’s places), with others we have already set up doing the same.
There is only one CPT, so before we start playing with canonicals (although I’m not sure that will work for a category rather than a url) or 301s, I wondered if it was something you’d already accounted for in the core setup as it seems an obvious potential duplicate content problem.
That would be perfect for quick tweaks. Good plan.
Thanks Alex. Was hoping there was a way of editing without everything already in there being deleted first. But no problem really!
Okay, understood. It works as is but could cause some confusion but, for our audience, we thinks it’s more intuitive to be able to search that way. Thanks for the feedback.
Unless we’re being terminally thick (which is entirely possible) that doesn’t seem to help. But thanks.
Yes, we tried the code to remove related posts altogether (and add them back in on normal posts in the template instead) after the code we found to remove it just on a CPT failed to work (hence asking earlier about the right name). But if we do add the code it does odd things to the listings layout.
Do you mean the related posts? It drives traffic round the regular site, but we don’t want it on the listings pages.
Thanks Alex – above and beyond!
Sadly, we’ve tried that and it doesn’t work. Jetppack isn’t your problem but, oddly, if we remove the related posts altogether it screws up the listings pages layout!
Okay. I just wanted to know that we’re using the right CPT name to exclude GD CPTs from displaying Jetpack related posts.
Thanks Kor – that worked!
I appreciated Jetpack issues aren’t your problem, but are we using the right CPT name?
Thanks Alex. We’ll try that.
