Thanks,
I’ll look into getting the map view hardcoded or maybe switch to the advanced GD theme. Basically, just need control of the homepage which Supreme seemed to have the search fields hardcoded. Just seems GD is not playing well with this current theme.
As is, to see the redirect (logged out) If you could in Chrome
File > New Ingognito Window > Haloplate.com and wait 5 seconds. The redirect takes place, same confirmation window as if a logged in user submitted a new listing?
Thanks Stiofan

Hi Stiofan,
Thanks for logging in. A few problems persist, primarily with formatting on the listing page. The Map is floating vs. static. I was hoping it could be made static in the same format as the Supreme theme layout? The biggest immediate problem, once you land on the home page on a fresh browser and wait 5 seconds. The screen redirects to the attached which has users calling in with complaint. Is there a way to stop this redirect? (redirect screen attached)
Thanks,
Ed
This reply has been marked as private.This reply has been marked as private.So, based on limitations of the Supreme theme, and formatting the home page. We had no choice but to switch back to our original theme and rebuild in an attempt to make the custom types executable from the home page. My question, is there any code edited from trying to get the Supreme theme to work as needed, that may be detrimental to our new (previous) theme?
Thanks.

Hi Paolo,
Correct, we simply want to show the custom post types as a drop down on the homepage where the current search fields & popular categories reside. (nothing more). As the listing pages are good once triggered from the custom post types with near set up as it is. Would simply need to add that custom drop down to the listing page also. I would happily hire a developer but that will likely be even more delay and there is already suggestion we should just return to our old theme where the home page was easy to design and edit/ see if GD works with it. Just using buttons to trigger the custom types. In short, our entire navigation of categories does indeed need to be triggered by custom types (hopefully in a drop down format).
Since the custom types work perfectly for our needs from the header navigation “near me” after all the work. It’s a total bummer they custom types can’t be added to the landing page and top of the listings page as a standard option.
Paolo,
Thanks, but now it has actually regressed from where it needed to be. I appreciate you are likely frustrated with what I am trying to achieve. But you have to understand GD (as great as it is) is not as fluid for users as compared to your knowledge of every facet of the platform.
“Replace the elements in the featured area” What elements and what featured area?
“Replace popular category shortcode with GD CPT listings” I have no clue where the popular category shortcode even is or how to access it.All we need is:
1. To show the categories only on the home page (nothing else) and have them behave in the exact same fashion as if they were selected from the header “Near Me” navigation links.
2. We simply need to show a member listings for any given category in order of distance > sorted by price option selected.
3. Removing absolutely everything to do with ratings, favorites and comments as our members will never be logged in. Only listing commercial members.We were just about there and thought GD was the right platform for the job. Surely the above meets the basic criteria of any geo directory? Category/ Nearest/ sort by price.
As is, 100% stuck with nearly 100+ hours vested.
What should I do in light of above?

Paolo,
Will you be able to help with this? I am user pressure to launch. Great progress has been made. But I am hoping you might be able to login and possibly correct the CSS to accomplish above. As is, simply doesn’t work as needed not showing the filter for prices. The hidden CSS also creates flashes of where the code has been hidden on home page landing, fields not centered correctly etc. As I shared, I can’t code per instructed and it can’t be launched in its current condition. Trying to avoid starting other support strings per your request. With all the requirements shared, I am thinking it may be quicker to adjust the code correctly vs. all the CSS patches and then we can launch.
Can you assist?
Thanks,
Ed

(per the attached, few issues on landing display)
Also, a core intended feature of the directory is to display the categories sortable by price (e.g. gas, smog & parking prices by distance and price. (sorting by price). Works from the Near Me header navigation but (& as you explained) currently not possible from the home page categories display.
My question, can the categories used for the Near Me Header Navigation be utilized in some way by the homepage also? Then the sort feature would show no matter what way the user queried.
Thanks,
Ed

Thanks, I’ll do that now and remove the CSS. I had added it before I got the payment package. Makes sense.
Thanks Stiofan
Thanks Stiofan, (are you Irish? I’m from Dublin)
I still need to hide the description field to stop members posting all sorts of content (some of them are unruly). Is is possible to keep the description hidden and maintain the ability to list (publish)
Cheers,
Ed
Hi Paolo,
(I also addressed in mock ups just sent). To expand, the sort feature displays when you select a category from the Near Me header menu. (e.g. Smog Check). But does’nt when you select the same category from either the homepage category drop down menu or the category drop down on the listing page if that helps?
Thanks,
Ed
