Wonderfulness!

Many thanks!

You rock, Paolo!
Very cool plan.

Don’t know whether this is useful for you, but here’s the strategy how I would use it:

I’m creating a hyperlocal digital travel guide and magazine. (That’s why image portfolios are so important.) I plan to include everything that’s currently scattered among half a dozen other local sites into one comprehensive (huge) hyperlocal site and directory. Hence, the unusual non-business CPTs for Waterfalls, Trails etc.

In order to launch the site and get it in front of Google, I’m working on setting up 2-3 CPTs with 10-20 listings each and the usual supporting pages, while I continue working on more listings and the rest of the content. My first thought was to set up an attractive portfolio page with these 2-3 CPTs while I write articles. Later, I can modify the home page once I have more content to work with, but I don’t want to make Google wait. 🙂 So, the widget would make that a workable idea.

I do have another question about how to get custom images on the top of each individual listing, but I will create a new thread for that.

Thanks for being awesome!

Aha. Got it.

I’ll think on this for a bit and explore options. My first idea might not be the best way to go about it. I’m at a point where I don’t want to get locked into any idea and I really want to build this site using the available options pretty much out of the box without a lot of customizing.

Even if the Enfold portfolio linked to a single listing, there might be a way to display other listings below it with a shortcode or widget?

Thanks again Paolo. Your insight is valuable.

Hmm. Well, there’s usually a workaround for everything.

What I want is a portfolio of great looking images on the home page that will take you to the individual CPT listing pages when clicked.

Can’t I do that the old-fashioned way, by linking the image to the CPT listing page URL?

Does that make sense?

Thanks.

Marsha

Thanks, Simone.

Very helpful.

After doing more poking around:

Re question #1:
How would I set a non-GD page, an (Avada) portfolio page, as the home page and add the GD main main map and search at the top?

Thanks again!

Marsha

Thank you both.

I think this answers all my questions. Glad to hear I can use interchange the widgets.

I’ll let you know what trips me up next. 🙂

Thanks again.

Marsha

Thanks, Guust. Worked!

What about the additional map at the bottom of the sidebar? Is that fixed permanently as well? (Sorry, just occurred to ask.)
