@paolo you mentioned “Yes you should be able to do so. Make sure to insall add-ons V2. Most of the add-ons on the screenshot are V1.”

I added the Membership where you suggested but it didn’t seem to affect that plugins and I still needed to enter the individual license code into each one of the plugins. Not very user-friendly…. maybe I wasn’t holding my mouth the right way… as my father used to say. 🙂

And the issue with V1 plugins is strange. Those are the plugins that I downloaded from GeoDirectory. I had mentioned to you that I found it confusing on which ones were the correct ones to download. And this was also before I realized that I could add them from the Extensions area of GeoDirectory.

See the Screenshot.

After I activated the plugins and then got the update notice for each one I am assuming that GD updated them to Version 2 as they seem to all be version 2 now. Guess that is good news.

Alex so let me ask you again to confirm as you didn’t answer this question.

Do I leave both of these Claimed Fields?

The Field is Pre-Defined? Guust told me that I had to add/create this field for Is Claimed?

I do see some listings with missing categories in the CSV export.. but when I look at them in Places they DO have categories assigned. Wonder what is going on?

Thanks Guust,
My rant about the Supreme child theme…. it dawned on me that Supreme is the child theme.

Would be nice to have a way in the GeoDirectory setting to change the image for an Unclaimed listing. Since for me when I start a directory I am doing so with scraped listings that I do want to get claimed. That would solve this issue for the user image and losing it with updates.

I added the is_claimed custom field, added it to the free listings but dang if I can see any changes to the CSV file.

I will add my login below. Appreciate you checking it out. Thanks

“Adding a column will not do anything, you must activate the addon…”

By addon you mean the GeoDirectory Pricing Manager? So… now I understand. I didn’t think you had to have the “GeoDirectory Pricing Manager” installed in order to claim a listing so I did not have it activated. Nor was it specifically mentioned.

I wasn’t planning on adding a Pricing Plan for this demo test but I did want business owners to be able to claim their listing. And I didn’t want to add yet another plugin especially WooCommerce….I try to avoid WC personally and really don’t like it when themes force me to install WC.

But really glad to see that you have another option with Invoicing and hope that it is a better option. I am however disappointed to see that it is not included in the Membership and is yet another cost to have additions like PayPal Pro and or Stripe. I guess that is the price to pay if I don’t want to use WooCommerce.

“and you must add the “is claimed” custom field” So you are saying that not only do I need to add the GD Pricing Manager Plugin but I also need to manually add the “is Claimed” custom field? Where can I find instructions on how to add the “is claimed” custom field?

About the Claim Me Image….“but it will need updating everytime Supreme is updated” Is there NOT a Child Theme for Supreme? Really?? You guys have done such a great job with GeoDirectory and it would be so easy to offer a child theme for provided themes. Sure hope this is on the roadmap as it would seem to make your job easier in the long run.

Just my thoughts:

I am just learning GeoDirectory and looking at it with fresh eyes. I think that sometimes that could be helpful. I know we get “blind” to issues when we are so involved in their development. So just sharing my thoughts in case it helps… otherwise feel free to disregard.

It feels awfully convoluted that you have to jump through all these hoops to use the features of the provided theme. I am sure that I am not the only user to run into these issues and have questions… am I? Maybe so… One of the things that I like about GeoDirectory is that even with all of these learning curves that I am facing it is more straight forward than most of the themes that I have tested.

So far I tested the Whoop theme and had an issue with the map showing up in the middle of the hero image… little did I know that this was an exact knockoff of the Yelp detail page. Why? because the demo does not show this detail page this way. That was confusing. Not sure why the demo would show a totally different example. So that was yet another support ticket to figure that out. And when I realized that it would take a lot more customization to change how it looked I needed to look for another theme.

So then I go to test a non GeoDirectory theme and that is a pretty good learning curve too. Then I go back to test the Supreme Directory theme and you see what issues I have had so far with it. Features are added to the theme that requires plugins in order to work but it took me and you all of these support tickets to get it sorted.

GeoDirectory has some of the best documentation that I have seen overall but each time I run into an issue I go first to the docs and then to search the support docs only to not find the answer. Just adding an ordered list that accompanied the Theme that explained any additional plugins to get the features all working would be very helpful instead of having to take your time and mine in support. I really would rather not even have to post in support but so glad you are here! You guys are awesome and I appreciate you so much but I also like to try and do it on my own if I can.
