    And question #2: if there is no entry in the category, the categories are not displayed (0)Is there a way to display all categories with a value of 0 if it is empty?

    Hello,

    the Claim Listings addon will show the author of listings that have been claimed.

    https://wpgeodirectory.com/support/topic/author-name/

    Once installed you can check the setting to link the author name to their author page.

    For the Popular Categories widget, in the past other members have chosen to add a ‘sample listing’ which is often a sort of advertisement into each category so it shows up in the popular categories widget and so the page is not empty.

    Some have taken it a step further to add a listing in each city of the directory for each category.

    Other than that, it is a customization to show empty categories.

    Hi Alex,
    Show link to author page on listings? Select “yes”, and select post type, but it does not display the author’s name

    Hello,

    do you have the Claim Listing addon installed?

    And has the listing been claimed?

    Hello

    once enabled, now you can visit the site to test the functionality as a business owner.

    make a test listing,
    open a new browser in incognito mode
    visit the listing
    click the claim button
    fill out the form

    now as admin visit the site and you can approve the claim.
    after that, then the new user’s author name will show on the listing.

    You can simply set the author, sure, and mark the business as claimed, both in the backend.

    The user must be set to be an author (role) first before they can be selected.
