Add Listing only works correctly from Admin side

Hi nasc, that is the correct behaviour, a member has to be logged in to create a listing. This creates a WP subscriber role which is necessary for their listing to be created.
Without them having a login they can never update anything, can they?

1. All members should only be subscribers
1.1. You should ‘let anyone register’ if you want anybody to be able to add their details.
If you want to restrict to people who have become a member some other way, then you can turn that setting off. Then you add members manually as subscribers before they can add their details.
2. Either way, your members need to be able to login.
You can add the GD login widget to every page (which you have done already for some pages).
Removing the Add Listing from the main menu will mean they have to login before they can add, or edit a listing.
Then you can remove the “New User? Register Now” link on the widget, and nobody will ever see the “default login page”.

Or if you want members to register themselves, you will need the /?geodir_signup=true&page1=sign_up page, which you can adjust with some CSS styling if you don’t like the looks.

I’ll set this to resolved then.
Rome wasn’t built in one day either 🙂
