    Before you import more listings for south dakota, go to the wp-terms table in the database and look there for south-dakota.
    If it is there as south-dakota, change it to south-dakota-1
    Then import your listings. Because south-dakota as a slug is not taken yet, it will be available for your region.
    The same applies for cities and countries.

    The post-author needs to be the ID, so needs to be 1.
    There are quite a few invalid characters in the description and addresses, shown like �
    They might give errors too on import.

    I sorted all the mississippi-1 slugs in the database.
    I also sorted the US of A, which was an original listing imported in Ohio.

    The problem I think was that there still was a mississippi slug in both locations and tags before you imported the new file.

    Deleting the tags now will not work, the locations have been duplicated and have been given a -1 slug. That cannot be undone just by deleting a tag. You will also need to merge all your locations after that, and you need to make sure you choose the correct one as the main one or you will be left with the -1 location.

    Did you check them against the database, or against the original CSV uploaded? (and I do not mean the one you prepared, because that one was not consistent for regions and missed data etc, which was corrected before upload).

    So how did you get both United States and United States of America as countries?

    I think the best thing to do is to restore the backup you made before the new import and then we can have a look at your new CSV file. That way, Paolo’s work would not be wasted.

    You get ALL in your database if you (or a user) save a listing before the Google API or you have set the location correctly.
    multi locations that has city-name, region-name, all.
    You need to create a new location city-name, region-name, country-name and then merge:
    http://docs.wpgeodirectory.com/faqs/how-do-i-merge-locations/

    That is probably why your ZIP search does not work?

    When uploading new listings by CSV to existing locations, the entries have to match exactly to what is already in the database.

    For example mississippi and Mississippi is not the same, and will create new regions in the database.
    The same will happen if you by accident put a space in front: Mississippi is not the same as space-Mississippi.

    Also, the database will treat United States and United States of America as different countries.

    Coding needs to be exact. You need to understand you are dealing with a machine, not a person that would know what you mean when you use different names for the same thing.

    You will find that the Modern theme has already this as standard in the child CSS:

    header nav .nav li a {
    border-right: 1px solid rgba( 255, 255, 255, 0.15 );
    padding: 10px;
    }

    header nav ul li:first-child a {
    border-left: 1px solid rgba( 255, 255, 255, 0.15 );
    padding-left: 1.5em;
    }

    Just adjust the current CSS instead of adding new code, is probably more advisable.

    So to implement Simone’s advice, change the above to

    header nav .nav li a {
    border-right: none;
    padding: 20px;
    }

    header nav ul li:first-child a {
    border-left: none;
    padding-left: 1.5em;
    }

    Add this to your CSS:
    ul.geodir_recent_reviews li {list-style: none;}

    Let us know if that fixed it.

    The URL is
    http://YOURSITE/author/USERID/?geodir_dashbord=true&stype=gd_place

    It is linked from the the GD Dashboard, or if you use the Claim addon, you can display a link to the user: GD > Listing Claims > Show link to author page on listings? > YES

    Have a look at this topic:
    https://wpgeodirectory.com/support/topic/favorite-link-gives-error-loading-listing/

    This is the error you have:
    GET http://dev.eatingoxfordshire.co.uk/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php/
    [HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found 1367ms]

    I wonder whether this is a conflict with your cookies plugin.
    Can you post your admin details here.

    “Featured” listings is also an option if you activate the Payments and Prices plugin.
    So only admin can set a listing to be featured, either manually in admin, or by creating a price package that includes the listing being featured.

    If you want users to have additional permissions, then you might need something like https://wordpress.org/plugins/user-role-editor/

    If you want some users not to be able to access certain pages, then you might need something like https://wordpress.org/plugins/s2member/

    Without knowing exactly what extra permissions, enhancements or access you mean, it is difficult to be specific.

    If you mean that you manually want to authenticate each user, yes. That is not part of any normal WordPress and therefore not GD.
    If you mean that the user authenticates themselves by using the password sent to them by WordPress, then you do not need anything else, but follow the steps I set out.

    Maybe we misunderstand each other, when you say user authentication.
    Normally admins do not approve each and every new user, but users need to verify their email address. The last option is standard GD and WP as explained.

    Can you describe what you mean with user authentication?

    From GD’s point of view, it is all set up automatically.
    A listing owner is the person that submitted the listing; that person will be able to edit the listing (and admin of course).

    At WP > Settings > Discussion, you can choose whether anybody can comment or people need to be registered before they can comment.

    If you do not want to use any other plugin, follow these steps to force people to verify their email address:
    1. WP > Settings > General > Membership > Anyone can register > YES
    2. Implement http://docs.wpgeodirectory.com/redirecting-the-login-page/
    Redirect to wp-login.php
    3. GD > General > General > Allow user to see wp-admin area > YES

    If you want to approve new users manually, there might be a plugin for that or you can create your own form.
    It might be simpler to review listings before publishing:
    GD > Design > Listings > New listing default status > Draft

    I hope I am making sense.

    Listing owners can reply to any comments, just like anybody else.
    Their username will be shown, so it should be clear that it is the owner.

    Listing owners also can insert promos, add/change details etc, from their dashboard.

    Basically, all your users get a subscriber WP account; listing owners can edit their own listings at any time, and anybody can comment if that is how you set it up.

    Does that answer your question?
