    Hi,

    Do you have information how to manage the Add a Listing form? I’ve looked and fiddled with little success. Is there some kind of trick to getting the CPT and fields you want to show up?

    Thanks for the help

    To get the different Add Listing forms for different CPTs make sure
    1. Allow posting at GD > Design > Navigation > Allow post type to add from frontend
    2. Provide links from frontend: GD > Design > Navigation > Show add listing link in user dashboard
    3. Add GD Loginbox widget.

    https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/core-design/#userlinks
    https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/widgets/#loginbox

    All custom fields that are set as active and not as “admin only” will show up on the Add Listing form.
    But you can restrict that with the price packages if you use the Pricing Manager.

    Hi Guust,

    Thanks for the prompt response. I have 9 different CPT set up. Two show in the form, the others do not.
    Is the GD Login Widget required? How do I restrict something showing with the Price package? Maybe I have the set inadvertently.

    Hello!

    You can take a look here: GD > Design > Navigation > Allow post type to add from frontend

    Be sure to select all the CPT that you want to be able to add.

    You can make a private reply with WP Admin access and your site URL and we can take a look at the settings.

    Hello!

    Each CPT has a different listing form with a different link. You will need to provide your site visitors with links to each of the different forms.

    You can review the options at GD > Design > Navigation, or add the loginbox widget to find those links, and then add them to a custom menu. The loginbox provides an ‘automatic’ way to keep those links up to date.

    Also make sure to allow users to add each CPT by reviewing settings at GD > Design > Navigation > Allow post type to add from frontend

    It looks like a very nice custom menu you have setup at the top for each listing CPT, maybe adding a link at the bottom of each one “Add X” would work well for you.

    About the 404 for the Locations CPT type, the slug “Location” is conflicting with your GD Permalinks “location” page slug. You will need to change one or the other of those. Once you do, let us know if that solves the problem. You can change it for the CPT at GD > CPT > Location

    Your GD Core plugin is current, but at least one other plugin needs an update. You can install WP Easy Updates to receive notices about updates and make your updates easy!

    Let us know if that didn’t answer your questions, or if there is something else we can do to help

    Thanks
