The problem you are having is that you added “select a category” on top of the CPT selector in your child theme’s functions.php file.
Therefore it looks like the search bar is not adjusting to the CPT on the page, but it actually is.

Please post URL and WP admin details in a private reply if we need to check things out.
Also give us the URL of the page where we can see the error.
I’ll get a developer to have a look, possibly only after the weekend. Thanks.

Thanks for letting us know.

1. You can hide the CPT selector with CSS, see https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/common-styling-examples/#search

2. I don’t understand the question. Are you saying that on the Jobs CPT page, the CPT selector does not adjust to the CPT?
Post your URL and WP admin details in a private reply so we can understand better.

Thanks

You should just get a notification that they need updating.
But you should never make changes to any of the plugin files if you can avoid it.
Most if not all changes can be made without touching the original files.

Thanks

I don’t think the paid claim system will work, because you already seem to have added the listings using the only permanent paid package you have. So if users claim a listing, they will inherit a permanent paid listing already.
You need to add unclaimed listings as free, and then force an upgrade on claiming, if you want users to pay when they claim a listing.

You can just give your users author access, and give them access to the backend, then they can edit any post.
GD > General > Allow user to see wp-admin area > YES
WP Settings > New User Default Role > Contributor or author

You can also find some user role plugins that may assist.

Thanks
