Hi GD team,

Loving the theme and all the plugins.

I’ve set up multiple Best of Widgets to appear on the GD Detail Bottom Section. Each Best of Widget shows all my CPT’s i.e. Pubs & Bars, Restaurants, Attractions, Places to Stay and Events. This is a great widget as I want to be able to show the user all of the CPT’s that are close to the place.

I have a few questions.

1. Am i right in assuming that if you have a parent category with numerous child sub category’s you will not be able to see tabs of the child category’s? You’ll only be able to see the parent category.

2 Can I delete the text ‘Best of (my CPT name)’ from the front end as it conflicts with the title for the widget?

3 I’d like the layout to be Grid View (2 Columns) and not one

4 How do I hide the ‘No Reviews’ within the tab?

5 What’s the search criteria for ‘Enable Location Filter:’ as one of my posts has a place within 20 yards but does not show in the Best of Widget whereas another place that is 10 miles way does appear in the Best of Widget?

Thanks in advance.

Mark

Hi Mark,

Let me try to answer your questions accordingly.

#1 Yes, you are right.

#2 You can use the custom CSS code below to hide it.
```
.bestof-cat-title {
    display:none;
}
```
#3 Unfortunately, this is not possible without customization.

#4 Try this custom CSS
```
#geodir-bestof-places .geodir-pcomments {
    display:none;
}
```
#5 The listings are sorted by ratings and if there are no ratings on the listings, it will just be sorted randomly.

Thanks!

Hi Kor,

Thanks for your prompt reply.

Can I add #2 and #4 as snippets? If so is there any other code I need?

Not too sure I understand your answer to point 5. Surely by the nature of the name ‘Enable Location Filter’ it’s filtering by location.

Cheers

Mark

Hi Mark,

2 and 4 are CSS code, so you should add them in GeoDirectory >> Design >> Scripts >> Custom CSS.

Snippets is for PHP.

If you enable the location filter it will simply only show listings from the location currently selected.

It will always sort by rating and if there are no ratings the sorting is kinda random.

Thanks

Hi Paolo,

Thanks for the clarification.

Having added the custom CSS code to remove the bestof-cat-title I’ve noticed the Show All link has disappeared, which I didn’t want to happen. To get round this problem I’ll reinstate the bestof-cat-title and not give the widget a title (or change the widget title to more of a description).

Can you please let me know if I can actually change the wording from ‘Best of (my CPT name)’ to ‘Nearby (my CPT name)’

All the best

Mark

Hi Mark,

I’ve just replaced the custom CSS code with the below and it should display the “View All” link again .
```
.bestof-cat-title {
    visibility:hidden;
}

h3.bestof-cat-title a{
    visibility:visible!important;
}
```
To change the wording, kindly refer to these articles below.
