Hi Iain,

Who is your hosting with, even loading the cpanel is pretty slow for me. The changes did not seem to boost query times…

Where is the majority of your target users?

Hi Andrea,

A review is more than enough thanks 🙂

I’m happy to have a conversation about this…

The issue is not defining the service area, this would be the “relatively” easy part, the issue is searching these in a efficient manner, in a way that will scale to millions of listings not a few hundred.

How do yelp define the area, a radius, freedrawn or zipcodes?

Hi Michael,

Please check now, there was a strange situation where your old membership was associated with a old email and it was not assigning your new one to your account because the emails were different. I have fixed this now.

Thanks,

Stiofan

Hi Ian,

The issues in your theme functions file is your custom code, it was malformed quotation marks, i have fixed those for you.

The server just is not up to the task, even this non specific non GD query done directly on the DB takes over 1 second

SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS wp_posts.ID
FROM wp_posts  
WHERE 1=1
AND wp_posts.post_type = 'gd_place'
AND (wp_posts.post_status = 'publish'
OR wp_posts.post_status = 'closed'
OR wp_posts.post_status = 'private'
OR wp_posts.post_status = 'hidden')
LIMIT 0, 10

With that many listings you need to bump your server spec.
I would also not run a forum on the same site as a directory, a forum is a hungry plugin.

If you need more advice about hosting please ask.

The best way to do it would be to add some JS that detects the form submit and then does some extra things https://api.jquery.com/submit/

You likely don’t have any results as the search radius is too small for a country, you could increase it but it can slow the queries down depending on the number of listings you have.

Thanks,

Stiofan

This snippet should do it (need to delete current saves)

function _my_disable_geodir_autosave(){
return '0';
}
add_filter('geodir_autosave','_my_disable_geodir_autosave');
