We are actually talking about simplifying the forum sections, there will be some changes soon, if we don’t simplify things then we will add it.

Hi Aleks,

You can find docs here about sorting; https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs-v2/design/gd-listings/

TDLR; If you add a custom sort option under;
CPT (places) > Settings > Sorting
It will then appear in the sorting list, so you can add featured as a sorting option and then apply it after.

Thanks,

Stiofan

Both those countries should be fixed, if you find any others just let us know.

Thanks,

Hi Matthew,

This is not a GD or a WP issue, its just a database issue, try searching google for “SQL search plurals”….

There are only really a few solutions to the issue and none are perfect, some DB’s systems will try to handel it with a fultext search but this is great for a DB of a few hundred listings, but will really slow things down for a large DB. The only real way to solve this is manually, we can build a database of plurals and what they might also mean, such as:

"restaurants" => array("restaurant"),
"children" => array("child","kids"),

As you can imagine its not a easy task or one that would would suit all directories. That being said, this is likely the solution we will end up implementing.

Thanks,

I think u should be a validator for everything now.

Hi Mitch,

I would need to see the site with the issue to understand the problem, can you provide access?

Thanks,

Hello,

Their devs had given us some code for GD that we added for titles and descriptions. I have added a task to look at further integrations, we will update you here once done.

Thanks,
