You can do that with the normal WP search, and then the search results will be shown in the normal WP results page, instead of the GD results page.
That is the only way to do it for the moment, sorry.

Until I activate my account by clicking on the link in the activation email, I cannot add a listing because I cannot log in.

Go to GD > Place settings > custom fields > address custom field > show on listing page ? > YES

You’re welcome 🙂

1. That is possible with the Multiratings addon: https://wpgeodirectory.com/downloads/multiratings-and-reviews/

2. Yes, use the payments manager and set paid listings to featured: https://wpgeodirectory.com/downloads/payments-manager/

3. Users can delete listings but not reviews.

4. You can do that by setting the country to only use your default country:
GD > Multilocations > location settings tab > Country > Enable default country (country drop-down will not appear on add listing and location switcher).

5. All listings in a Custom Post Type need an address and map normally.
But you can have Custom Post Types that do not use addresses for any listing.
Go to GD > general > general tab > Select CPT to disable physical location

6. Those settings are at WP > Discussion

7. That is not possible.

8. That is how the search already works.

Can you be more specific please. Including a URL will help us understand.

You had spaces behind the commas in your options for the multiselect field.
I removed them but that did not fix it.

I thought it might be because you use ( and ) in your options so I tried to remove that too, but did not help.
It might just be because your database now has invalid data, so maybe deleting all the data and fields and starting again might solve it, but I am not sure.
Can you post your phpMyAdmin details so we can have a look at your database, unless you want to delete the fields and try again.
