Before I forget. Can you guys please check on the temporary listing that should be visible after a listing is submitted? I mentioned this earlier but it might have gotten lost in the discussion.
At the listing success page, the link to view the submitted information leads to an error page.
Thank you.
In your PO editor, you also have to save your edited PO file as a compressed MO and upload that file as well. In addition I think your path is incorrect: https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/translate-core/
Oh, yes I understand that there is no limit to accounts. But lumping the add listing and claim business together in the same process doesn’t allow users, to decide which account should be a business owner account and which they want to use as their private account(if they want separate accounts). Because on the “Add Listing” form, that place that asks if they are the business owner or an associate doesn’t explain what that option will result in.
I suppose adding some text to explain that selecting that you are a business owner or associate in the add listing process would then result in an automatic claim to the business that you are submitting could help. I also saw that users can add text to the form.
Thanks for talking this out with me. Sometimes that helps me process my ideas clearer.
Just added this code snippet and it remove the business owner/associate option:
remove_action('geodir_before_main_form_fields' , 'geodir_add_claim_fields_before_main_form', 1);When I tried it before it didn’t work because my plugin wasn’t updated. Now it works. 🙂
Yes, I suppose it could be confusing that way as well. I appreciate your 2 cents 😉
I just figured since the notifications were there, that the “Add Listing” process would all follow the same flow:
1) Submit listing
2) Receive confirmation email of published listing(this is where the email could be edit to ask business owners to claim their listings)
3) Owners claim listings
4) Receive confirming email of claimed listingAllowing a separate process for the add listing and claim listing also allows owners to have separate personal and business accounts. I think many owners would prefer to leave reviews as a consumer rather than as another business owner. Proving the option to claim a business after it’s published would just be more flexible.
P.S. Since Stiofan said that others have been able to edit this to their needs, I’ll have a look see. The last time I checked though, it seemed that it was only possible to hide the “business owner/associate” links if you remove the claim option from the post type.

Hi…anything on this? I don’t know if my posts are being seen. But this is marked as resolved so maybe it’s being overlooked.
Thank you.
Hi Stiofan, just checking in this. Thank you.
This reply has been marked as private.On submission , the “View your submitted information” link should take them to a temporary page, only the user can see at that time. But not later, if listings are set to go to draft.
In addition, I am not seeing this. I have tried to change the add listing form settings to both: Pending Review and Draft. On either of these settings, when I try to click on “View your submitted information” link, I am taken to an error page.
Okay, is there any way to remove the business owner part of the add listing form? I would like it to always be forced to “No” by default. Users don’t provide phone numbers in sign ups and I want to be able to verify the owners before releasing the listing to them.
I know that I could add phone numbers in the registration form, but I think it would deter signups because that’s not common information that people normally share.
Me…again.
SO! It looks like even though the user is the “Author” of the listing, it doesn’t grant them ownership until you link it through the GD Claim Listing settings.
Crisis averted. Ignore me. Sorry!
Update: I figured out how to get the new listing to be published immediately.
For anyone who may need guidance: Geodirectory > Design > Listings
However, I’m still concerned about the author of the listing. I will change the “View your submitted information” in the language file, because I do prefer to be able to review the listing before it goes live.
