You can use https://wordpress.org/plugins/widget-options/ which allows to control each widgets visibility and appearance.

Hello,

We found that WordPress default function strips %ca from the string on sanitize. There is already ticket open at WordPress forum. See https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/31777

For now use following PHP snippet to prevent this issue. Try to resave CPT with %%category%% again.

/**
 * sanitize_text_field() stripping instances "%ca" from %%category%%.
 *
 * See https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/31777
 */
function gd_snippet_20190827_save_post_type( $output, $post_type, $raw ) {
	if ( ! empty( $output[ $post_type ]['description'] ) ) {
		$output[ $post_type ]['description'] = gd_snippet_20190827_fix_strip_ca( $output[ $post_type ]['description'] );
	}

	if ( ! empty( $output[ $post_type ]['seo']['title'] ) ) {
		$output[ $post_type ]['seo']['title'] = gd_snippet_20190827_fix_strip_ca( $output[ $post_type ]['seo']['title'] );
	}

	if ( ! empty( $output[ $post_type ]['seo']['meta_title'] ) ) {
		$output[ $post_type ]['seo']['meta_title'] = gd_snippet_20190827_fix_strip_ca( $output[ $post_type ]['seo']['meta_title'] );
	}

	if ( ! empty( $output[ $post_type ]['seo']['meta_description'] ) ) {
		$output[ $post_type ]['seo']['meta_description'] = gd_snippet_20190827_fix_strip_ca( $output[ $post_type ]['seo']['meta_description'] );
	}

	return $output;
}
add_filter( 'geodir_save_post_type', 'gd_snippet_20190827_save_post_type', 0, 3 );

function gd_snippet_20190827_fix_strip_ca( $text ) {
	if ( ! empty( $text ) ) {
		$text = str_replace( "%tegory", "%%category", $text );
	}

	return $text;
}

Thanks,

Hi Mitch,

I have done some debugging and found following database error.

WordPress database error Column 'post_category' in field list is ambiguous for query

It looks like any plugin/theme has added database column ‘post_category’ to WordPress core xxx_posts table. It should avoid modifying structure of the WordPress core tables, otherwise it may create troubles like this.

Try PHP snippet provided at here https://gist.github.com/kprajapatii/9de152dddeeb7bdb0d2f1cbc8711080c to prevent error during export by adding alias to ‘post_category’.

Let us know.

Thanks,
Kiran

hi,

I need to remove the category, word and location from the filter when switching to another language in the language switch.

This is WPML default behaviour that keep some variable with switching page url in different language. This requires some customization to achieve that you are asking.

I’m also wondering if I can hide the language switch on some pages. In this case – on the search page.

Language switcher is managed via WPML plugin, so you can ask WPML support team. They might have solution for this.
