You can go ahead and mark this as resolved, we somehow had a bunch of categories unticked by default 😛
Understood, and we do have autocompleter on, but I think the confusion is coming from users who simply type and hit enter/press the ‘search’ button without waiting for the autocomplete to load (which takes a few seconds).
Our client expressed confusion due to them typing and simply hitting enter, expecting the same result as if clicking on the autocompleted result.
My colleague and I think it’s a valid concern, because not all users will wait for autocomplete (some not knowing there is autocomplete, due to the delay), and then be presented with ‘no results’.
Any thoughts? Would you mind explaining why the location search box is ‘NEAR BY’ instead of ‘IN’ and the motivations behind making it that way? (or point me to an article I could read?). Perhaps it would help us/our client understand the system better.
Thank you!
Just curious, any plans in the future to include an IN search?
A-ha! PoEdit was adding their own quotations into the a tag automatically, in addition to mine when I typed out the HTML, so it was double quotations 😛 Interesting setup but at least now I know. Thanks for your help/for the test link!
Sorry to open this back up again, but is there a way for me to form an email link in the translation?
It is breaking my ’email us’ mailto link for no results found:
Thank you for checking that out. I have deactivated non-essentials that I know for sure I can deactivate, without success. However I can’t remove all of our plugins. Do any of these jump out as problematic to you?

Autoptimize

Per page head
Yoast SEOThe one that jumps out to me is Per page head (“Allows you to add content into the section for a specific page, like custom JS or custom HTML”) however this was not installed by my personally and was installed by someone else on our client’s team. As such I cannot just remove it right now…
Gotcha. Makes sense to me. I agree about the verbiage – I’ll relay this to our client. Thanks for your help!

http://stay-boutique.com/404/Here are some locations where we have search. I guess we need the suggestion box to always be positioned absolutely by the search box, rather than absolutely by top of the page.
Great, that worked 🙂 Thanks!
While I’ve got you here, could you point me in the direction of a variable that could handle pulling in the search term?
See where it has %%location%%? Is there a valid variable I could use for search term?
I see.
So I opened up geodirectory/geodirectory-languages/geodirectory-en_US.po in PoEdit
But it doesn’t really explain in the tutorial how to make an edit to this file
Please see screenshot. This is the text I would like to edit. I want it to be something like:
<p>Sorry, no hotels were found for %%location%%. Please contact us if you would like to add some for this location.</p>
Great! Sounds like something we’d would be interested in for the future. You may close this thread, I’ll relay everything to our client. Thank you and appreciate it 🙂
No worries. Any plans to include this in future functionality?
Thank you Paolo. I believe I have read this yesterday after my posting. So there is no way to force Paid listings (per this article https://wpgeodirectory.com/how-to-sort-listings-by-price/) to appear at the top of results for EVERY search not just for blank searches? Not show ALL Paid listings at the top, but show Paid listings related to the search term?
For example –
User searches for ‘Denver’, everything within 200 miles shows up (this is the distance we set) and IF there are Denver listings that are Paid, they will show first before everything else. We will not show Paid listings from anywhere else other than the search term.
Is there any way to force this?
I understand the concerns with making users see results that aren’t relevant, but I believe this doesn’t really apply here. They would still see results for whatever their search term is (‘Los Angeles’, ‘Denver’, etc) but IF there’s paid listings for that search term, they would be at the top.
Any way to do this?
It appears I’ve misunderstood the search functionality.
So sorting only applies to Listings…. not Search?
http://stay-boutique.com/hotels/
The above link is all our listings, and it correctly filters based on the tutorial of Paid = first (Standard Hotel and Inn at Riggs Island are flagged as Paid).
So what is the difference between search form and listings? There’s no way to sort search at all?
When a visitor goes to a location page like http://stay-boutique.com/locations/australia/ you should add some relevant widgets that show categories and listings in Australia.
Yes, that is the goal, we need to list out all Hotel listings for the selection. The widgets seem to be very limited though – GD > Listing Slider seems to be closest to what I need, however I would not like it in a slideshow format, and just want them to be displayed like they would at http://stay-boutique.com/hotels/australia/ … but displayed on http://stay-boutique.com/locations/australia/
Is there no way to do that?
When you change link structures or slugs of pages, you need to re-save your WP permalinks to reset all links on the frontend.
Nice thank you for this, didn’t know 🙂
https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/location-manager-shortcodes/#switch is best used on a separate WP page instead of a GD page.
How else can I pull in a full list of all the locations, on the Location page (http://stay-boutique.com/stay/)? What is the intended use for the default Locations page if not to list out all Locations in the system?
