But after installing everything I cannot see the Custom Post Types plugin options available to me. Plus when I look at your video it looks like I am missing a considerable amount of list items in the left admin sidebar.

I am guessing you are looking at a video for the old version of GD.

I’ve created the form and added all the required fields in the Settings (using the places directory), and I have input a few listings, but I wanted to create some custom post types of my own instead of try edit what’s there. Do I need to actually create an entire new directory to display this?

To create additional Custom Post Types, go to GD > Settings > Post Types tab.

I like to use placeholders. But after inputting all the placeholders in the “Exhibitor Directory” Settings, they seem to be invisible or not working at the front end.

If you post full details of the custom field in question, and your URL and WP admin details in a private reply, then we will check that out for you.

I would also like to change the left aligned labels to labels above the inputs. How do I do this?

You will need to add your own CSS styling:

I’d like to split the fields on the page into columns in some instances. Is there an easy way of doing this?

You should be able to achieve that with CSS too.

I have created a Select dropdown list for the User to select his Country. I tried very hard to incorporate the maps functionality, but no matter where I put the geo location it always said I was in Pennsylvania. So I gave up and decided displaying just the name would be fine. I want to display the text field of “country” (with a map marker icon) below the heading. (See screen 1)

You will need the Location Manager addon for multiple locations.

How form is now: http://client-url.com/dev2/?page_id=37&listing_type=gd_place

You need to change your WP permalink settings to Post Name.

1. Added some CSS in your CSS plugin.

2. Try adding more text in the description of the listing.

3. Changed the post images shortcode at GD > Settings > Pages > GD Detail

4. Try using Google Maps instead of OpenStreetMaps.

Thanks

I can’t see that anywhere on your site. I am guessing you may be looking at a cached page. I’ll get someone else to have a look too just in case they can see what you see.
Thanks

Add a new tab for a shortcode, and add this shortcode [adjust as required]:

[gd_listings post_type="gd_place" sort_by="distance_asc"]

Thanks

Seems to work only if you start from the beginning.
Mor works but orimoto does not.
But the autocompleter picks it up.

That is what it does by default, is it not?

If your site’s language is en-US, just copy the PO file to /wp-content/languages/plugins and change any string you want.

Thanks
