The maximum is five. 1 equals listview and 2 equals grid-2 etc, see https://finditsober.com/places/food-1/

You seem to want to duplicate the auto-generated Places page?
https://finditsober.com/places/

There is normally no need to create any pages, other than those auto-generated.

I suggest to add the following shortcodes to a test page, so you get a better understanding of the auto-generated pages, see also https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/layout/#directory:

[gd_location_tab_switcher]
[gd_advanced_search]
[gd_login_box]
[gd_cpt_categories]
[gd_location_switcher]

Have a look at GD > Notifications.
You can activite GD > Notifications > Options tab > Use advanced editor? (slow loading)

Be aware that HTML generated by WordPress will be missing paragraphs and linebreak tags, so you will have to test and adjust as required.

When you say “Packages only get the correct effect if added from the frontend.” do you mean when they are initially created?
I mean that the effect of packages on listings only get the correct effect if added from the frontend.
Adding a listing from the backend or import, let’s say a 3 month recurring package, will not get reminders or renewals. The payment contract must be authorized by the user at the gateway for that to take effect. Without that gateway notification to your GD setup, the package payment settings will have no effect.

Renewal notices are sent to the owner of the listing, and only if there is a valid gateway notification for that listing.

As for paying listings, if it’s a listing that normally would be paid for and they didn’t pay and I renew it manually are you saying they will receive a notification stating the listing was published and paid even if they didn’t pay?
When publishing a draft listing, an email is generated to the owner of the listing.
If you set an invoice to paid, an email is generated to the owner.
The owner of the listing can be changed before you take all of the above steps. And you may have to delete any pending invoices for the old owner too, to prevent notifications.

You need to add a Google Map API for your maps to work:
https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/add-google-api-key/

These are your errors:

You have included the Google Maps JavaScript API multiple times on this page. This may cause unexpected errors.

Google Maps JavaScript API warning: KeyLooksLikeProjectNumber https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/error-messages#key-looks-like-project-number

Google Maps JavaScript API error: InvalidKeyMapError

Changes to packages only take effect for new listings added after the change.
If they are recurring, the contract entered into sets renewal for every 3 months. That contract will stay honored until the user or you cancel it; not by changing package settings.

You can find the documentation here: https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs-v2/

If you first had installed V1, then you need to convert correctly, or start with a new database:
https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs-v2/geodirectory/overview/

Did you use the Setup Wizard?
If you need to run it again: GD > Settings > click on help in the top right corner > and you will find the wizard on the left.

You can add anything you like in the street address after setting the marker on the map.
You can “rename” the city, but it is not always the best idea.

The developers may have better ideas too. Thanks
