    hi Sir,

    I am using a single column layout. (Genesis theme, geo 1280)
    It looks like the add listing widget is default to the right side bar.
    How can I enable it on a different page? My home page link is attached below.
    thanks,

    Peter

    Hi Peter,

    May I know what do you mean by “enable it on a different page?“? You can probably create a new page and use shortcodes https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/core-shortcodes/#add-listing

    hi Kor,

    thanks for the suggestions. I followed the instructions in the link above but it doesnt work. I created a new page and added the add-listing short-code. The page sends me back to the home page. Can you advise how I can fix it? thanks,

    Peter

    Hey Peter,

    I’m so sorry for the late response on this post. I’ve overlooked it. May I know which CPT are you trying to add the “Add listing” shortcode? I’ve added [gd_add_listing listing_type=gd_college] on this page https://multiplyiq.com/gd-test/ and it seems to work

    hi Kor,

    I was trying to use gd_event CPT. However, when I change it to gd_place, it seems to work but it allows adding an event rather than a place. How can I add a gd_place? Any suggestions?

    Please note gd_event is linked to gd_place. I am a little confused what is going on…
    thanks.

    Hi Peter,

    If that’s the case, please enable the CPT you are trying use under GD > Design > Navigation > Allow post type to add from frontend as shown in this screenshot http://prntscr.com/fjbl8c

    Thanks!

    thanks Kor.
    It works now. However, I found another problem.
    I have 4 different CPTs (place – organization, event – activity, school, college);
    All add listing (irrespective of CPTs) are linking back to the event data structure.
    How can I fix that?

    Hi,

    if you select the page from GeoDirectory >> Permalinks, you must not add the shortcode and vice versa. If you use the shortcode, you must create a page for each CPT, because in the shortcode you have: listing_type=gd_event

    Thanks

    hi Paolo,

    I got the gist of it but I am still a bit lost.
    I need a create a new page (4 for each CPT). Then, how do I connect it back?
    Please note I am testing it from user dashboard.

    thanks,

    Peter

    The best thing is that you use 1 page without shortcode and just select it as the add listing page from GeoDirectory > Permalinks. GeoDirectory will take care of the rest…

    You can add the links in your navigation like this: https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/core-design/#navigation

    Let us know,

    Thanks

    hi Paolo,

    I am using the user dashboard as the only page to add listing. After I setup the blank page as you suggested above. it seems to work fine. thanks again for the response.
