1. I added this CSS to GD > design > scripts:

.wrapper .geodir-post-img a {position: initial;}

3. The second option is possible without a subscription.

Thanks

Please post your URL and WP admin details in a private message so we can check your settings.
There is no need to create any Add Listing pages, if you add the GD > Loginbox widget, the correct pages will be linked automatically.

You can create a CPT that does not use maps, but still uses locations: hide the listings on the maps at GD > Design > Map
Then tell users to add some generic street address when they add their listing, like “my online business”.

Alternatively, use a location-less CPT with categories like you said, or a custom field or tags.

Thanks

If you only want a few:
1. Go to Places > Place Categories
2. Click on the “count” number for the relevant category
3. That will take you to all listings in that category.
4. Use the location filter on the top to narrow to a location.
5. Hover over the titles to see the ID in the status bar.

If you need more:
1. Export your listings at GD > Export
2. Filter the exported CSV.

Thanks

Remove the Map widget from the GD Home Top section, and replace it with a text widget with HTML code to show the image.

Thanks

You’re welcome 🙂

If you do not have anybody else than yourself add listings, then you can use locations any way you like.
But if you want to allow other users to add listings, you should use auto-suggested locations as explained here: https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/definitions/#location

A listing always needs a lat and lng to place it on the maps, and a city, region and country to organise the listings in location groups. Apart from the location attributes, a listing also needs to be in one Custom Post Type [places], and a category.

After adding a listing, a location will automatically be added to the database: https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/manage-location/#edit

You can change the names of those locations, similar to this explanation: https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/manage-location/#merge

So if you have a site that lists diving spots or ship wrecks for example, you can add manually rename the location for example to pacific[country]/north[region]/east[city].
Your locations always need to be big/smaller/smallest, like country/region/city.
But remember that not using auto-suggested locations, will require ongoing customizations of the locations as listings are added.

Do not try to guess URLs, but create a temporary page with the following shortcodes:
[gd_location_switcher]
[gd_cpt_categories]
Then add the Popular Post Category widget to your GD Home section.
You now will have links to all relevant directory pages.

Thanks
