Hello Ian,

So what is deemed ‘best match’?

It is normal search sorting for keyword you searching for. Search page it to show best match results at the top.
For example searching “Hotel” shows results in following order:
– Shows listings which includes “Hotel” in listing title
– Shows listings if there is category or tag with name “Hotel” exists & assigned to listings
– Shows listings contain word “Hotel” in listing description.
– It applys date order

shouldnt date sorting from then on be at least in consecutive / ascending date order ? – i.e not choosing the very last recurring date for that event as it seems to be on the event shown?

Normal sorting allowed on listings page(/events/ page). Please provide admin credentials in a private to check there. If possible will provide snippet to achieve what you asking for.

Thanks,
Kiran

Hello Giovanni,

It seems this is a common problem some times happens on Windows Server. See one of similar issue https://community.bitnami.com/t/update-failed-could-not-create-directory/53763

Please ask your hosting to fix this. Also you can try plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/fix-windows-compatibility/ which may fix this issue.

The directory already exsist, with two files inside. Why is trying to create a new one?

This is common WordPress update process. It removes old plugin directory and replaces with new one.

Hello,

3) I see the text on the listings is faded into the Read More tag. Can that be adjusted, at least to increase the spacing between the last line and “Read More”?

You can adjust it via following css.

body ul.geodir-category-list-view li .gd-list-item-right .geodir-field-post_content.gd-read-more-wrap {
	max-height: 180px;
}

5. Hmm. So maybe that’s something in my computer?
Please provide us screenshot or video capture what you see.

6. I don’t want any CPT categories to show there with the map icons. Is that a widget?

You can adjust it from Backend > Pages > GD Location Template page > Edit > gd_categories shortcode.
See for more details: https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs-v2/geodirectory/design-elements/#gd_categories

7. I can try. Any clue on what kind of plugin might conflict?

You can check by disabling non-GD plugin one by one to find which plugin conflicts with search.

8) I noticed that in some instances when I search for a particular CPT category — such as Waterfalls, Art, etc.

Can give example page whare and what you want to display there?

9. I think there’s a misunderstanding. How do I remove only the “Trails” images on that page?

If you are asking about featured image of each listing then it can be adjusted from CPT (Trails) > Settings > General > Default image. Or it can be adjusted from category default image.

Hello Giovanni,

Which server you are using? Is it Windows based server?

It seems /wp-content/ or /plugins/ directory does not have correct file permissions.
Contact your hosting and ask them to make sure that it allows upload/remove/change files & folders on your server through WordPress.

Please see for more details: https://wordpress.org/support/article/changing-file-permissions/

Let us know.

Hello Ian,

Are you using GeoDirectory Events v1 or v2?

On listings search page results the priority for the sorting is best matched results are top and then it applys the event date sorting.

Let us know.

Hello Jorge,

1. event title left / event date (from – to) right
or event title right / event date (from – to) left

To show event date before title, remove previous snippet(v1) and use following snippet.

/**
 * Show DATE - TITLE for the event titles.
 */
function gd_snippet_190311_event_date_title( $title, $post_id = null ) {
	global $post, $gd_post;

    $post_type = ! empty( $post->post_type ) ? $post->post_type : '';
    if ( ! GeoDir_Post_types::supports( $post_type, 'events' ) ) {
		return $title;
	}

	if ( ! empty( $gd_post ) && isset( $gd_post->start_date ) ) {
		$event_post = $gd_post;
	} else {
		$event_post = $post;
	}

	if ( isset($event_post->ID ) && $event_post->ID == $post_id ) {
		$geodir_date_format = geodir_event_date_format();
		$current_date = date_i18n( 'Y-m-d', current_time( 'timestamp' ));
		$current_time = strtotime( $current_date );
		
		$date_title = '';
		if ( !empty( $event_post->start_date ) && geodir_event_is_date( $event_post->start_date ) ) {
			$event_start_time = strtotime( date_i18n( 'Y-m-d', strtotime( $event_post->start_date ) ) );
			$event_end_time = isset( $event_post->end_date ) && geodir_event_is_date( $event_post->end_date ) ? strtotime( $event_post->end_date ) : 0;
			
			if ($event_end_time > $event_start_time && $event_start_time <= $current_time && $event_end_time >= $current_time) {
				$date_title = "<span class='gd-date-in-title'> " . wp_sprintf( __( '%s -', 'geodirevents' ), date_i18n( $geodir_date_format, $current_time ) ) . " </span>";
			} else {
				$date_title = "<span class='gd-date-in-title'> " . wp_sprintf( __( '%s -', 'geodirevents' ), date_i18n( $geodir_date_format, strtotime( $event_post->start_date ) ) ) . " </span>";
			}
		} else {
			if ( is_single() && isset( $_REQUEST['gde'] ) && geodir_event_is_date( $_REQUEST['gde'] ) && GeoDir_Event_Schedules::has_schedule( $post_id, sanitize_text_field( $_REQUEST['gde'] ) ) ) {
				$date_title = "<span class='gd-date-in-title'> " . wp_sprintf( __( '%s -', 'geodirevents' ), date_i18n( $geodir_date_format, strtotime( $_REQUEST['gde'] ) ) ) . " </span>";
			}
		}
		$title = $date_title . $title;
	}
	return $title;
}

function gd_snippet_init_190311() {
	remove_filter( 'the_title', 'geodir_event_title_recurring_event', 100, 2 );
	add_filter( 'the_title', 'gd_snippet_190311_event_date_title', 101, 2 );
}
add_action( 'init', 'gd_snippet_init_190311', 100 );

2. The event date, which is displayed separately below the title, is then not necessary and should be deleted. Do I have to do this via CSS?

To hide date from listings go to Events > Custom Fields > Event Dates > Show in extra output location > Untick “Listings page”
