Thank you very much Stiofan.
Hi Kor Chung,
Thank you for your reply.
The “GMap – Home Page widget” is fixed, thanks!
About the other layout issues with the GD Pages with Divi theme, I have made some tests and I noticed that Divi settings disable GD settings. For example, setting FullWidth from Divi for the GD Location page, disables GD Left and Right sections, while setting Right Sidebar enables them.
Then, as I said before, since the Divi theme used is one of the compatible themes appearing in “GeoDirectory –> Theme Compatibility” settings I assume that it should work fine without any additional CSS code being necessary and that a GeoDirectory update will be necessary. Will you soon update GeoDirectory to make this happen?
I look forward to your news.
Thanks once again and best regards.
Hi Kor Chung,
I have this CCS code in the Divi CSS custom code:
#sidebar {width: 30%;}
#left-area {width: 70%}As per this support ticket:
https://wpgeodirectory.com/support/topic/width-of-info-bar-on-sidebar/
Do you think it could interfere?
I look forward to your news.
Thanks once again and best regards.
Hi again,
In any case, since the Divi theme used is one of the compatible themes appearing in “GeoDirectory –> Theme Compatibility” settings I assume that it should work fine without this CSS code being necessary. Will you soon update GeoDirectory to make this happen?
Best regards.
Hi Kor Chung,
Well, I checked again and unfortunately the code breaks something, the Listing Detail page, as you can see here:

Best regards.
Hi Kor Chung,
Thank you very much for your fast response.
I tried the CSS code and it seems to work without breaking anything, but my CSS knowledge is almost zero and I have some questions:
This CSS code will affect only the GD Location page or all GD Pages?
Then, the settings in “GeoDirectory –> Design” will not have effect and I will have to tweak this CSS code instead? I would like to be able to enable / disable and adjust the widths of the right / left / content sections.
Also, in the “Popular Post Widget” now, with the CSS code in place, the text appears centered instead left justified.
I look forward to your reply.
Thanks once again and best regards.
This reply has been marked as private.Hi Paolo,
I have been testing your suggestion but it does not quite work for what I want to achieve.
The first part, the “Near Me” button is fine, but the second part, that implies a lot of “Popular post widgets” to be able to show all CPTs and all their Categories in the location page, is not what I want to achieve, since I would like to able to show only the listings of the Category selected by the user from a default set CPT.
I thought about having several location pages to show at least only one CPT per location page, but I understand that this is not possible, since there is only one location page.
Now I am thinking about some way to allow the user to select a single “Popular post widget” to view from the many that could be present in the location page, but I do not see a way to do it.
So I think a I am going back to the idea of trying to find a good developer but, since several months ago I posted a couple of requests in your developers forum and I did not get any reply, I guess I should look elsewhere.
Thank you very much once again for your attention, willingness, help and patience.
Best regards.
Hi Guust,
Thanks for your suggestion.
I tested with the Add Listing page and I see that only an initial part of the content is shown on the top of the page.
I will try to test with other GD Pages when I have spare time, but I assume that adding content to them in this way is not really a feature, but just something that may work. Am I right?
Best regards.
I assume that the new page must be empty, blank, without content, right?
Hi Guust,
I am having a good day to learn a lot of things today 🙂 Let’s continue!
Ok, but I am still confused. :$
If I want to change the title and slug of a GD Page should I edit them like I do with any WordPress page?
Which is the purpose of the dropdown selector for each GD Page at “GD –> Permalinks –> GD Pages” containing the names of all the existing WordPress Pages in the site?
I look forward to your reply.
Thanks once again.
Best regards.
Hi Paolo,
Now I am trying again to understand the documentation about GD Pages Permalinks here:
https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/core-permalinks/
I am confused about this part:
“GeoDirectory Pages
GD will automatically add 8 pages that will be used as templates to create all your directory pages: GD Home page, Add Listing, Listing Preview, Listing Success, Location, Terms and Conditions page, Info page and Login page.
You can change the title and slug of these pages at the normal WordPress pages settings.
Only the Terms and Conditions page option can be left blank, all other options should have a page selected.”
I do not understand why I would like to select another page than the original GD Page. I have just tried selecting one of the Divi built pages of my site for the GD Add Listing page and the GD Add Listing page just looks as a mad mix of the two pages.
Could you please let me know?
I look forward to your reply.
Thank you very much once again.
Best regards.
Hi Paolo,
Thank you very much for your response.
Finally I got it, after almost two years 🙁 ! GD Home and GD Location pages are the same!
Best regards.
Hi Paolo,
Thank you very much for your suggestion.
I tested it here:
https://inforoses.com/test-gd/
This is the first time I use the GD Location Page and I notice that it looks unstyled. I am using the Elegant Themes Divi theme. You can see the result in the attached screenshot with Divi Builder not used (but the Divi Builder does not work properly either).
I used the Popular Post View shortcode [gd_popular_post_view], so default settings should apply.
Is this how it should work?
I look forward to your reply.
Thank you very much once again.
Best regards.
Hi Guust,
Thank you very much for your prompt response and detailed explanations.
Please, allow me to expose the idea I have in mind.
1) My WPGeodirectory site is a single small town directory. The town has less than 20.000 inhabitants and the longest distance within is approximately 6 kilometers. It is a tourist town that can host more than 100.000 tourists any time during the high season. There are tourist districts with a lot of businesses within very short walking distances.
2) I would like to offer a search option to make very simple, quick, easy and user friendly for tourists to find with their smartphones what they look for, usually within short walking distances from their current location.
3) These are a couple of search examples of this type:
a – Restaurants near me within a 200 meter distance range.
b – Events near me within a 200 meter distance range.4) This is how I see this search option work:
a – Restaurants near me within a 200 meter distance range. Using a Search Box (widget / shortcode) configured for the CPT Places that would show only the field “Select Category” and a slider allowing to finely select the distance from 100 meters to 6 kilometers.
b – Events near me within a 200 meter distance range. Using a Search Box (widget / shortcode) configured for the CPT Events that would show only the field “Select Category” and a slider allowing to finely select the distance from 100 meters to 6 kilometers.
Therefore: “Post Type” and “Near” fields should not appear while “Search” field should be optional, “Near me” geolocation function should be automatically activated without having to click anything and the widget / shortcode should have settings to set the CPT, enable / disable “Search” field and the distance slider max and min distances.
After reading very carefully and considering your explanations and rethinking all about, now I think that this should be an additional search functionality with its own widget / shortcode. I would call it, for example, “EZ Mobile NearMe GD Search”.
Since I do not expect you to develop such an specific functionality, my question now is: is this something that a developer could develop following your documentation?
For any other kind of search, the current GD search is perfect since it offers a wide range of configurable options and functionalities.
Also, since I do not know about CSS, I would like to ask you to let me know the CSS to hide:
1) “Search” Field.
2) “Near” Field (and “Compass”).I look forward to your reply.
Thank you very much once again for your attention.
Best regards.
