Can you start with changing WP permalinks, see https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/basic-installation/#postnames

If that does not resolve it, and you want us to check your settings, post your WP admin details in a private reply.

It should work, see https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/core-design/#how
If you send us URL, WP admin details (in a private reply) and the ZIPs or addresses you are searching, then we can have a look for you.

This is not a GD issue, but a WP issue.
I can see http://whatshappeningtoday.com/wine-tasting-2/ so I am guessing wine-tasting is used as a slug somewhere else.

Correct, the Near Search works based on geo coordinate information, unless you select a suggested location that is already in your database.
Thanks for letting us know.

0. You can add a link to your directory start page using WP Appearance > Menus

1. You can something like this to your child theme’s functions/php:

add_action ('geodir_home_before_main_content', 'my_text_on_home_page', 10, 1);
function my_text_on_home_page(){
echo '<div class="custom-text">Custom Text</div>';
}

2. Never use Excel. I now guess you probably deleted a column in the CSV before uploading. That corrupted the data.

You can already add descriptions to WP categories, but you want the code to show them on the frontend posts pages.
I think the code is something like

<?php if( is_category() ) echo category_description(); ?>

but not sure where it needs adding.

I’ll get Paolo to have a look at your question.

The social importer has nothing to do with SDK. Just follow the steps in the documentation.

Business Owner/Associate?: de-activate the Listing Claim addon

Listing title and description are compulsory fields: you cannot have a WP post or GD listing without a title and a minimum of content.

You can hide the tag row and the upload images sections using CSS.
