Use the full width template for that page from the sidebar options.
Use this CSS for enlarging the icons:

.gd-cptcat-li a img {
    height: 3em !important;
}

Adjust as required. To fix more CSS, see https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/customizing-your-style/

Please post your URL and WP admin details, and we will have a look.
Thanks

Is the package ID valid for the other CPT?
Do the categories exist in the new CPT?

And what are those issues? Thanks.

Although the default search for this field is a NEAR THE CENTER OF search, with the Advanced Search addon, you can set this field to auto-suggest locations based on the title of the listings, see Near Autocompleter settings.

It is not possible to give code for every possibility a customer may want, eg widening the NEAR field, but that is why we have added those info:

Some people add explanation in a text widget below the search bar, others above etc.

Thanks
