1. Permalink is not required then at GD > Permalinks, because you no longer are using the default Add Listing page. You will need to add all links to the new pages manually.

2. See 1.

3. You will have to give other links, and cannot use the dashboard links anymore. Remove them from GD > Design > Navigation

4. Whatever is added from the system will be the same, it is just that you can add different content above the shortcode.

This may be a simpler solution for you: https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/common-code-snippets/#add-listing

Let us know if I misunderstood anything. Thanks

Some of it depends on the theme you are using, so we would need to see the URL of the page you are trying to change.

1. remove the large top picture (not visible in screenshot)
Depends on your theme situation.

2. show the result of the rating (overall + subratings) and move “write review” below it
Depends on your theme situation.

3. remove the contact info and show custom fields (created in Place Settings)
If you do not want the contact form on the detail page, set the Email custom field do inactive, or to not display anywhere in the custom field settings.
To show custom fields, use the “Show in what locations” options for the custom field.

4. remove the standard tabs and show only profile description and the reviews below. From here https://wpgeodirectory.com/remove-tabs/ I understand how to remove the tabs, but then everything is gone or alternatively with the additional code shown there its everything pasted there (dicing and slicing the code didnt work) while I just want the description and reviews as per the other live page
That link is a bit obsolete. You can just go to GD > Design > Detail page > Show as list > Yes
And remove any tabs there too: GD > Design > Detail page > Exclude selected tabs from detail page

5. show picture thumnails on right top in sidebar
Like this example?
https://wpgeo.directory/supreme-directory/places/united-states/california/san-francisco/restaurants/tasty-food-inc/
I’ll get Stiofan to give you that code.

6. remove the social media icons
GD > Design > Detail page > Disable Tweet, Fb Like, Google+ buttons section

7. show the map on the right side below the pic thumnails
Add a GD Listings Map widget to the detail page sidebar.

8. remove category icons
Depends on your theme situation.

9. replace standard footer with my footer. I actually already have my footer on the search page but for some reason on the details page I still have the standard GD footer.
Depends on your theme situation. Maybe this is the answer: https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/faqs/how-do-i-change-the-footer-text-in-supreme/

All works fine for me after I corrected

Please check now. Thanks

Do you mean easier in terms of customisation, which most people seem to struggle, or just generally handling and understand the plugin interface better?

Should be both.

Thanks

Divi always needs a bit of adjustment, I added this CSS at GD > Design > Scripts > CSS:

@media (min-width: 981px) {
#left-area {width: 65%;}
#sidebar {width: 35%;}
.et_right_sidebar #main-content .container:before {right: 35%!important;}
}

Adjust as required.

Thanks

There is no setting for that, but have a look at articles like

etc

To remove the mention : “Indicates mandatory fields” on “add a place” page, you will need to change that text using the language file, see https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/translate-core/

For your other question, review https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/faqs/can-i-change-place-title-and-place-description/
