    Hai the plugin is very nice and everything. But I’m wondering if I could use the search bar from the plugin on the homepage of my website. Maybe a big search bar where the user can search as they visit the main page. A php code or something so I can put it in the layout.

    I’m thinking below the slider on my homepage website http://foodfinder.my/
    Trying to do something like from this website http://www.hungrygowhere.com/

    Let me know if it’s possible, thanks. Not something similar but at least the feature for search is there

    You can add a shortcode

    or you can use the GD > Search widget.

    How about php script for the gd search bar? Shortcodes doesn’t seems to work in php files.

    Thanks for the list of shortcodes.

    Just paste the shortcode in the page, using the normal editor. [above “Latest Recipes” or something like that].
    Your homepage is just another WP page, is it not? No need to add to the php file.

    I want it to appear in the homepage between my slider and recent post. Not on some page or post btw. Just like I mentioned on the first post. It’s ok I guess if it’s not possible.

    Any idea if I could display a huge map on the main GD page, besides in being in the sidebar? Something like from the GeoDirectory Theme Framework theme for example.

    How did you create your homepage? That is just a normal WP page and then chosen as homepage is it not? How did you add the recent post there? With a widget? If so, add a text widget above the recent post, and then post the shortcode in there.

    To add a map to http://foodfinder.my/location/ , go to
    WP > appearance > widgets and add the GD > Gmap-home page widget to the GD Home Top Section

    If you still are stuck, post your admin details in a private reply and we will have a look.

    Right, I see the problem now. Your homepage does not have a widget area at that place, so I suggest you add a new widget area at the right spot.

    You might need to create a new template that allows you the right positioning.
    More info @ http://codex.wordpress.org/Page_Templates
    and
