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

Shortcodes doesn’t seems to work in php files.

Thanks for the list of shortcodes.

[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.

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.

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.

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.

Thank you guys.
