So, to be clear, what you’re saying is that v1 had a css framework while v2 does not. Is that right?
On Locations page :
– Categories under each listing not appearing. Only the gd_business CPT.
– I had to hard-css “comments” in the meta data for it to appear! That can’t be right.
– “View All” under each CPT still showed despite unticking in the shortcode builder needed to add : view_all_link=“0”. Cant be right either.
– Still a massive gap between map and search then between search and sidebars.You mentioned finding some incompatibilities. Can you update please? Im worried about getting to work only to lose it later.
Details page problems :
Images on both sidebars disappeared – problem persists.
Check this page https://ohso.red/businesses/australia/victoria-1/clayton-south/fashion/australis/ on right-hand sidebar under “Business Directory”. Its showing wrong categories.dashboard > geodirectory > post types : problem persists
“Nav menu role” plugin disappearing in dashboard>appearance>menus : problem persistsI have read your blog post a few weeks ago.
I even upgraded my cloud hosting to over your recommended RAM.Its also been recommended that instead of multisite, I could think about the multiple theme plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/jonradio-multiple-themes/ which might be able to let me use the GD framework?? What do you think?
I also found a new table in the database :
wpaw_countries
Belongs to: wp-bannerize-pro [not installed]I didn’t put it there. Is it something for GD?
Follow-up to this morning’s post :
Currently I find that speed-wise there is no change to write home about from v1 to v2. I also notice that the plugin Query Monitor is showing more DB heaviness than it was with v1.
I also find that the v2 setup makes a site like mine (with the directory only a part of a bigger site), really difficult to manage, for example in the widgets area, unlike v1 that kept GD widgets separate.
The only way I can envision using v2 is if I switch to a multisite setup where my directories have own subdomain (eg. directory.mysite.com). Questions arise :
– is this a better option for me with GD, given that my site is not just a directory?
– will this possibly speed things up? That’s the most important to me.
– if I switch to a multisite for the directory, will i have to start from scratch and lose all my current listings (still in setup mode but have about 20 listings i’d like to keep).
– i suppose if i switch to a multisite setup, i can then use one of GD’s own templates. Right? The templates seem to be part of the membership fee but I’m somewhat confused with the v1 and v2 documentation structure and want to make sure.
I was really, really happy with v1. Now v2 has completely changed my work structure and made it more complicated. Looking for a solution. Feedback appreciated.

Please proceed with the update.
I’ve already lost too many work days with this.In fact, you know what Paulo? Get off my site, revert it to v1 as it was and send me a refund.
I won’t stand for rudeness.
Wow. I’m so angry right now that I’m shaking.
On Friday afternoon, I updated my subscription and proceeded to follow the v1 to v2 instructions to do it myself. I followed instructions exactly. I tried it 3 times, failing each time.
I headed to the forum for help/indications on what was wrong. Ended up with an instruction from a moderator that contradicted instruction no. 8, but hey, tried it anyway. Failed again.
I re-posted on the forum. New moderator shows up, asks for my login details, site, server, ftp. I handed over everything. This was Saturday by now.
I notice he’s made a copy of my database in phpmyadmin. Logically, I think, he must be working on my site. So I can’t touch my site so as not to impede the update.
Yet, no more feedback on Saturday.
I sat around watching the day go by, which for me, is very difficult to do since I am a small business and my time is money!!!
Sunday, I get online to see if moderator did anything. The database copy is there. But I don’t see any other changes. But, what am I supposed to do? I can’t touch the site. He must be working on it. Right?
Sunday rolls along. Nothing.
So, I get back on forum and ask – Do you take weekends off then? Perfectly logical question to ask since there’s that copy made of my database. Who would leave a work half done??? Another guy indicates (i guess?) that weekends are off.
Turns out moderator really did leave the work half done and took off for the weekend!! I couldn’t believe it. How do you leave someone in limbo like that?? if you knew you weren’t going to finish the work that day, why would you start it? Or would it take much effort to warn me??
Would be perfectly fine if I hadn’t been led to think that someone was working on my site…but that was not the case.
So, its Monday now. Monday morning rolled to Monday lunch time. And its now rolled to Monday afternoon. Still nothing.
At this stage, I’m thinking refund. Regrettably. I can’t stick around twiddling my thumbs any longer. Its been 3 days now.
You see, I asked for help. I am offered help. Help is left half-baked. For you it may be nothing. But for a small business like me, spending 3 days without being able to work is very expensive.
I did. Its why I’m asking, since i posted my issue on Friday. The least maybe would have been to warn me to not expect anything.
So, am I right in thinking that there is no support on weekends?

Only plugin that has not updated ins “Invoices”. I can’t even understand from the knowledge base what happened to this plugin or even if its still in use.
