1. You could add categories to the main search bar and then hide the search input with CSS, this would only let users search via categories and location.

2. I would not make locations categories. There is an address input for each listing, this will allow users to filter by location.

For categories i would make this exclusively the type of therapies, and keep things like “insurance” to a custom field, maybe that could be a checkbox, “accepts insurance?” this can then be added as an advanced search option in the search bar.

3. You can simply delete the dummy categories under places> Place Categories.

If you do what i suggest in #2 you should not have a huge list. The category selector on the add listing page can be filtered by starting to type the name.

Hi Elijah,

I’m 99% sure this is siteground, the first user we seen with it was a nightmare to trackdown but it is part of their server settings:

IMPORTANT! On all SiteGround Cloud and Shared accounts, our Autoupdate system takes precedence over the default WordPress Autoupdate system.

They seem to have a policy that a major version jump means that your plugin/theme is WAY out of date and needs to be updated automatically, this is what i found on other SG sites, minor versino changes 2.0.0.1 -> 2.0.0.2 don’t fire but 1.0.0.0 -> 2.0.0.0 will.

Please see here:

Let me know if we can help further.

Hi Julian,

I am UK based, i asked for FTP 20 minz before my end of day.
It looks like you have restored this for v1.

If i were you i would try to re-create the issue on your dev site, i suspect its a plugin or theme issue so try to make sure those are exactly as you would have it on the live site.

Thanks,

You want them app positioned in the top left?
If i remember right Elementor shortcode input strips other html, i think u would need to use the html input instead to prevent the html wrapper being removed.

I have updated the content that is installed on install but you will need to update that manually in the location page, please change the listing shortcode to

[gd_listings post_limit=10 add_location_filter='1']

For the rating i have added a class and a data value to the first inside div (which will still give you the same effect)
It will look something like this for a 3.5 rating:

<div class="geodir_post_meta gd-rating-info-wrap gd-align-left gd-lv-s-2  geodir-post-rating-value-3" data-rating="3.5">

Thanks,

Stiofan
