Thank you for this info.
And to confirm… On the timezone I just leave it alone? It automatically set itself and will do what it needs with the calculations of time? I am in the US central time.
ignore above question about the featured image… i figured out after i activated starer directory V2, I had to then re-activate my supreme directory.. .so i got that back…
but please clarify for me … am i suppose to do all my widgets and menu and “styling” (colors and sizes of texts in menus) thru the “customize” which takes me to the beaver builder interface with the menus on the left and then the content on the body of the page with my blocks?
I just want to make sure that I don’t open something somewhere and lose everything i have been working on again… thx …
ok, I deleted V1, dowloaded V2, installed, I have my sidebar area where I can add widgets….
BUT … now my feature image is not showing… I had gone to each page in my site and selected the image and now they are not showing anywhere… just a solid bar that i set the color to the background…
sign….
so do I do all changes to widgets and changes to colors of texts and backgrounds etc in the beaver builder where it takes me when I customize? and build my page in wordpress with the blocks editor?
thanks
This reply has been marked as private.I followed all the instructions to make a “new home page” because with the new GD V2 the home page is not provided.
I still have it saved as “sample” I am making it with blocks… However at one point…after I was very far into my creation of the page I couldn’t figure out how to do something in blocks so I went to try do it in beaver builder and I lost EVERYTHING on the page… thankfully I had saved most of the blocks as reusable blocks and without too much trouble was able to re-build the page. But can you tell me if there is a way to ‘back up” or “save” my page while I am working on it so I do loose all my work?
NEED HELP —- I am still not able to get the sidebar to appear. I have gone to the widgets section in wordpress and I have SIDEBAR PAGE WIDGET showing , in that widget I added an image with a link that I want to show up in my sidebar under my “log in ” but my sidebar still is not showing on my page when I view it. .. sigh…
When I am in blocks and I check the page attributes on the right side in the menus I have it set as template = GeoDirectory… and “no parent” I am not sure if this is correct.
I also want to go ahead and “LINK IT” OR MAKE IT my ‘LIVE’ home page… if I go to my “all pages” and select quick edit and change the title of the sample page to notarybyzip.com is that going to change it and make it the home page? or do i need to select notarybyzip.com – Home from the drop down menu?
if you need to log on i still have the same temporary user name and password set while I am working on these issues.
thank you
i’m using wordpress 5
Geodirectories Supreme V2
and Blocks editorohhhhhhhh okkk.. i finally found it! thank you.. it was confusing, because before the only way I knew to make a widget work was to have a location to drag it to on the right side of the page.. and we always had the pages with the body, side bars etc….
are there other GD widgets in there that I can “activate”? or do all the other ones just do the drag/ drop onto?
when I go to that step .. trying to setup the DEFAULT SIDEBAR WIDGETS… when I am running the setup, in my drop down menu I do not have an option for Primary Sidebar (auto detect) and so after I run my wizard I do NOT have the primary sidebar menu as you show in this article (if I am looking for it in the correct place… which is in the widget area that we used in V1)
also where exactly do I find the GD>Author Actions menu? I’m not find that either.. thx
Ok, thank you very much for all this info on all of these issues. I will go thru them again step by step and try to do this again. I appreciate your help and I apologize if I came across impatient… I wasn’t aware of the normal “turn around time” I am just accustom to being able to do pretty much whatever I need to do on a computer and this project isn’t working out that way.
I do search the forums and search save the links to refer back to from all my questions. please know that I exhaust all my efforts (and usually a few hours) before I bother yall with my requests… so by the time I do ask for help I guess I’m at the end of my rope… but I do appreciate your assistance.
question about re-running the setup wizard…. I saw in one of your instructions to re-run the setup again.. i have run it about 5 times in the last 2 days/ I will do it again.. please tell me when I should run the setup in the future or should I be able to just get it setup and not have to continue to do that right? the setup is to put in my side bars , dummy data etc… is this correct? and gives me my base “set up” …. or what other purpose does it serve, so I know when to use it in the future.
again … thank you
I want to be able to use the short code builder please. I’m watching videos on y’alls YouTube channel and it’s showinf me step by step how to use it. This is what I was trying to accomplish but updating to the GD V2 to be able to use the easier editing options. I can’t tell you have many times I have read the material and wat her the videos and end up with something not there. I’m sure many times because I screwed up something. But I don’t understand code or css or hemp. So the use of the short code builder and blocks is something that I think I can use easier. T watched videos on how to change design in different types of listings etc with the update GD V2. So I don’t know if the classic has the blocks and the short code builder. But that is what I was trying to make work. Is this what you “turned on”? Or set to default? If not can u set the other to default or tell me how please.
Ok thank you for that info. I had never seen those hours before so I had no idea.
This reply has been marked as private.Thank you for that information… two more questions.
1. Is there a way to place an image or a button that I could place just under my search bar so that if someone doesn’t know their zipcode I can link it to a website they can look up their zipcode…. I found how I can add this in the “body” of the page, however I can’t add any widgets or buttons in the location where the categories showed up.
the only work around i found was where I added a “CALL TO ACTION MODULE” it on the “body” of the page and changed the alignment in the advanced tab. But I know that is not going to put it in a “fixed” place on the site… it will only show up where it does depending on what type of size of screen the site is being looked at.
2. Is there a setting somewhere that makes the default image that I upload for the “background” of the top section of the page to be darker? it seems to have a filter on it or something. thx
YES!!! thank you
I’ll go ahead and complete the conversion if you can help me get that done please.
At first I extracted them on my computer then tried to upload onto ftp but once extracted there were a ton of files. So that didn’t work. The. I re-read the instructions more carefully and saw it said to extract within ftp. So I did that. Then I got the 505 error. So I deleted all V 2 files from ftp folder and tried uploading and extracting one at a time. I installed supreme V2 (I’m not sure if I did it in the correct location) I did it innolug ins. And then opened a browser and checked my website. It worked. I opened notarybyzip.com/admin and it did NOT prompt me to convert.
I uploaded and extracted each add on Checking after each one. Some of them my site still worked and some of them they did not If they did not I deleted from the FTP. I listed in the other post which ones made it stop working. Then after all were extracted I went to WordPress and it did not start a conversion. I tried to navigate around word press and I got an error with a blank page. 🤬🤬🤬
