    GDV2 doesn’t have widget areas. Instead it has templates, and you organize shortcodes in the templates sort of like you organized widgets in the widget areas in V1.

    https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs-v2/templates/details/

    Also, V2 widgets have settings so you can choose which pages to display.

    You can still create PHP templates: https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs-v2/faq/customizing/#templates

    Hi Robert,

    You have placed incorrect templates. Those are used GeoDirectory v1.

    For GeoDirectory v2

    – Create folder “geodirectory” under your current theme directory
    – Copy all template files(or template file you want to modify) from /plugins/geodirectory/templates/ to /themes/YOUR-THEME/geodirectory/

    Now after copying files you can modify template file from /themes/YOUR-THEME/geodirectory/

    Let us know.

    Regards,
    Kiran

    Hello,

    -You have seen primary sidebars listed on search page and listing page its my theme sidebar. I want to geodirectory sidebar bar like in GD V1 see screenshot for my live website

    In GeoDirectory v2 it uses WordPress default sidebars. In v1 sidebars messing design for some themes, so we decided to use standard WordPress sidebars. You can use GeoDirectory widgets on available sidebars by theme. In GeoDirectory widget there is a option to decide on which page widget to display/hide. You can check it at WordPress Admin > Appearance > Widgets

    As i said those templates files are from GeoDirectory v1 which are not supported in GeoDirectory v2.
    All files available under geodirectory/templates/ are template files. You can modify those files by copying in your theme/child-theme.

    We are also working on documentation to make v2 more easy to customize.
