Hi, Stiofan. My apologies for taking so long to reply back. I just added an additional listing here:

https://www.cheersva.org/hampton-roads/wineries-hampton-roads/williamsburg-winery/

However, two FB entries were automatically pushed out for the following listing and not the listing above. I’m concerned because two entries were pushed out and they weren’t even for the correct listing above.

https://www.cheersva.org/southern-va/breweries-southern-va/buggs-island-brewing-company/

By all means, please feel free to add a listing then make a small edit and click update. I have a feeling you’ll see at least one or two of the Buggs Island listing above and not the listing you just submitted.

Thanks much.

I’ll give that a shot, Paolo. My understanding, however, is that I cannot require users to add tags and, if they do add tags, they can add whatever tag they want which might not be consistent with my regions.

What about requiring regions created as custom fields using radio buttons? If that’s an idea, is there a way I can display maps with the regional custom field selection?

Thanks much.

I should probably ask the ultimate question:

Is it possible to combine different CPTs categories into the [gd_listing_map] shortcode? For example, if category IDs 221,455,245,etc. span several CPTs, will all those category icons display on the map if I don’t include the post_type variable?

Thanks for your reply, Kiran. Yes, I see what you mean about the category icons missing. I was able to assign them to the categories again.

Just to make sure I understand, I’ve tested using the following shortcode:

[gd_listing_map width=100% height=300 scrollwheel=false autozoom=true category="529,531" post_type=gd_region_blue_ridge]

I see the single listing in the “Bars” category as well as the other listings from the “Breweries” category. This is obviously set to the gd_region_blue_ridge CPT. What I would prefer to do is keep all the CPTs by organization type, the way they currently are and use a single map across CPTs such as:

Menu points to region, e.g. Central VA to include the following:
——-Breweries – link points to the Central VA subcategory in the Breweries CPT
——-Cideries – link points to the Central VA subcategory in the Cideries CPT
——-etc.

I would like to link the top level page above, e.g. the Central VA page to use the [gd_listing_map] shortcode for all subcategories for the respective region such as:

[gd_listing_map width=100% height=300 scrollwheel=false autozoom=true category="349,222"

The shortcode above crosses various CPTs. The category IDs referenced are from, for example:

–Breweries CPT – Central VA subcategory
–Cidery CPT – Central VA subcategory
–etc…..

Can you please tell me if it’s possible to set up the shortcode this way or would I need to create region-specific CPTs and place the organization types within each CPT? For example

–Blue Ridge CPT
—–Brewery subcategory
—–Cidery subcategory
—–etc…..
–Central VA CPT
—–Brewery subcategory
—–Cidery subcategory
—–etc…..
–etc… CPT
—–etc. subcategories

If I need to create regional CPTs, I’ll lose custom field capabilities, e.g. hotels have their own custom fields, breweries have their own custom fields, etc. I’ll also have a bunch of 404’s unless I painfully set up 301 redirects.

I hope this makes sense. I’d appreciate any advice you might offer.

Cheers!

Hi, Paolo. Thanks for replying. I tried replacing the geodirectory_shortcodes.php file with the one referenced in the GitHub repository. I then tried running the following shortcode using different categories in one CPT (which I’d prefer not to do):

[gd_listing_map width=100% height=300 scrollwheel=false category="222,437" post_type=gd_brewery]

Unfortunately, I’m still seeing a blank map which I’ve attached.

I also tried using just categories across different CPTs such as this which are two categories in two different CPTs (this is my preference):

[gd_listing_map width=100% height=300 scrollwheel=false category="222,211"]

I’m getting the same results from this map as well, e.g. blank map.

Do you have any other suggestions I can try?

Thanks again.

Hi again, All. I tried updating GeoDirectory on my DEV server as suggested here:

https://wpgeodirectory.com/support/topic/listings-page-map-not-showing-selected-cpt/#post-361810

Unfortunately, I’m still not seeing listings on the map when using two category ID’s in the shortcode. If you have any other suggestions, I’d appreciate hearing them.

Thanks much.
