    Hello, is it possible to pre-populate a location in the search bar without having to explicitly select it or use the location switcher menu?

    Thank you.

    How would the search bar know what location to pre-populate without selecting the location one way or another?

    Hi Guust. That’s why I’m asking. GD has a set of locations that are created by the admin, is there a way to load the search bar for a specific location?

    Basically, I’m trying to re-create a location page, using the location page informs the search bar of the location to search, but since the template isn’t really working for me, I’m looking for another option. Thank you.

    Only GD pages will ever know the location, WP pages do not.
    You will have to use the location page somehow. Why is it “not working for you”?

    I think that site is just using the Location Description widget: https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/location-manager-widgets/#desc

    Copy and paste the HTML of your WP page into the “city description” at GD > Multilocations > SEO tab > Location description.
    And use the Location Description widget: https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/location-manager-widgets/#desc

    Very clever! I didn’t know that I could utilize the widgets and location manager this way. Thank you very much!

    Don’t forget categories work similarly per location, just look at your category settings 🙂
