    hi there, i don’t really know how to correctly ask this – but how is it possible to replace the map as it is on homepage with a soliloquy slider at full width?? and, then, what i would really like to do is have like a ‘homepage’ – if you like – as it is out of the box but for each category – so for example for places have a homepage with only listings for that caterory showing – as in popular, recent reviews etc
    hopefully someone knows what i mean??? thanks

    You can replace the map with GD listing slider on your home/location and listings pages.

    Not too sure I understand the other question …

    Whenever you filter to a location and/or category, relevant widgets will adapt to the page. So if a visitors goes to all restaurants in one state only, the reviews and listings will be relevant for that page.

    Don’t be afraid to play with the widgets to see what the results are; you can’t break anything that way.

    Where would one go to change main category page for example the places page (which i am calling attractions) – see screenshot. Where is the file for this particular page – and can i edit it. for example how can i add a listing slider to this page showing attractions only – and then for teh accommodation main page – show slider for accommodation listings only?

    currently the slider is showing whatever i selected as options in widget on all category pages. and also how can one modify this slider?

    also is there anyway of removing “australia” from breadcrumb trail? it seems silly to have that there when my site is for australia only. :-))))

    when i click on that big ‘delete dummy data’ button will it only erase the imported data or all other that has since been entered as well?

    thanks 🙂

    🙂

    with the other question i was trying to explain (not very well i know) but basically how can the core category pages be altered. ie. can shortcodes for features be added to it – much like they can be on homepage??

    Please familiarise yourself with this page:
    http://docs.wpgeodirectory.com/layout/

    You cannot edit a file for a particular category page, but if you are OK with coding you can change the template that is used for all CTP and category pages.
    Some widgets adapt to the page, meaning that if you change from hotel to restaurants, hotels will no longer be listed but restaurants will.
    Other widgets do not adapt, like login widget for example.

    The sliding widget indeed does not adapt to the page. Maybe this is a request that can be made, ie to add a [location] filter to the widget like the Popular Post widget for example. Look in the right sidebar as to how to make requests.

    There is currently no way to remove the country from the breadcrumbs.

    Clicking on that big ‘delete dummy data’ button will only delete the sample/dummy listings.

    The “GD Home page” template is NOT only for the homepage, it is also the template for all locations, see http://docs.wpgeodirectory.com/layout/#home

    But you can add widgets that adapt as explained above, and you can add specific widgets like the “GD Location Description widget” which will change content if you change settings at GD > MultiLocations > SEO Settings
    Example: http://goldroo.net/directory/australia/queensland/brisbane/ (Look in the right sidebar).
