Thank you.
I clearly mis-read how that setting works.
I thought I read or saw on another user’s site a page showing all locations. I think the url ended with /all-location/.
I can’t seem to reproduce this on my site. Is this a custom function?

Is there are straight forward way to export the slug?
It would be great if this was included in the standard csv export file.
If you have 1000 listings, each with 4 images and in media settings you have 4 image sizes, you will create 16k useless posts in your database making your db much bigger in size and slower.
I had been wondering the reason behind not using the standard WP Media system.
However there are three disadvantages with the method you have implemented:
It makes it much more difficult to import from an existing web site, particularly a WP one, which is a major issue where the listings are in the thousands. Our gallery had been largely based on unique directories and the file names could be duplicated.
GeoDirectory should really be using at least two image sizes so that the most suitable sized image could be served. This would reduce the data transmitted for the pages where there are many listing on one page and possibly the detail pages on mobile. Google ranks pages based on these criteria, so it isn’t just an academic issue.
Loss of captions. GeoDirectory doesn’t have the option to show captions with pictures. Captions are useful and important for several reasons: It helps with SEO; it explains what is in the picture and it makes a big problem for the recording and displaying acknowledgement and copyright for a picture. Not a problem when it is our media, but a big problem when using pictures which require acknowledgement as part of their terms of use.
It would be relatively easy to add a field for captions in the standard GeoDirectory, without the need to use the standard WP media system.
That was fast.

Solved the problem, Thank you.
I suggest that this needs to be mentioned in the documentation section: https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/core-export/
I forgot to mention at the top or country the imported Listings are included in the Popular Categories.
Something really seems broken on the Requests section. I can’t even see the second page.
If you use CloudFlare your TTFB will be higher, but the total load time for the page will be less. Cloudflare has a blog post about it on their web site. It is just a pity the Google focus so much on TTFB, when it is only one factor.
Thanks Paolo, I went and looked at the demo again and you are correct.
Sorry.
Thank you both for your help.
