    Steps to reproduce.
    1. go to https://wpgeo.directory/starter
    2. click on near me
    3. you should see only results near you, but it shows listings, categories, and pins that are not related to your location.

    I don’t what’s in the code for the demo, but on the default installation the Location page has this:
    [gd_listings post_limit=10]
    This only shows 10 locations with no regards for the location.

    The expected behavior for the Near Me / Location page is to show only show listings near you, and therefore only categories and pins associated with these listings.

    The Location page works with GD Listings with the option for “Enable Location Filter” for each GD Listings element.

    The GD > Categories widget does not have this option enabled, and although the GD > Listings does, the listings there are not near me and are not the ones shown in the map.

    If you go on https://wpgeo.directory/starter/ and click near me, the maps shows “No Records Found
    Sorry, no records were found. Please adjust your search criteria and try again.”
    But all the categories are and several listings too.

    If there are no listings near me, there shouldn’t be any category or listing in the page.

    Thank you. While you’re there, there is a significant 3-4 second delay between clicking the button, and being redirected to the location page.

    To simulate:
    1. Open an incognito window
    2. click the near me button on https://wpgeo.directory/starter/

    Thanks again.

    A reminder that neither GD > Categories nor GD > Listings widgets are filtering according to the location. They show everything no matter what’s around.

    I don’t see any delay after hitting the near me but i’m testing from desktop. The way the near me works is a standard browser function, it asks for the GPS and it will try and return it, if you have a device with GPS it will check the freshnes and if its old it may try to get a fresh reading, i would guess the incognito triggers this each time. (though your issue may not e related, if you can provide any more info on the matter please do).

    For the Near me thing, it seems to be working mostly in my localhost but without the listed distances, for distances i don’t think the fix will make it into todays release, Kiran is off today and i want to run over the best implementation of the ajax paging with him tomorrow, likely we will still release the fix later in the week.

    Thanks,

    Checking on my mac with chrome i also seen the delay but only the first time, i could not replicate after that. I see a few bugs mentioning it from last year so i guess its still around in some fashion, seems to be a Mac OS + Chrome issue, i was also able to recreate first time here: https://www.w3schools.com/html/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml5_geolocation

    Seems unrelated to GD, but thanks for providing more info.

    You’re right, I also see the issue in that URL. Thanks for looking into it!

    For this next update, if it’s not too much work, can you please add a class to the geodir-post-rating div if the listing has no reviews? If you add a new class with a unique name, such as “gd-rating-no-rating-yet”, it won’t break previous installations and we can chose to hide it or display different content without having to edit PHP files.

    Updated to .61. Both Categories and Listings are still unaffected by the location.

    Quoting original issue:
    ” Steps to reproduce.
    1. go to https://wpgeo.directory/starter
    2. click on near me
    3. you should see only results near you, but it shows listings, categories, and pins that are not related to your location.

    I don’t what’s in the code for the demo, but on the default installation the Location page has this:
    [gd_listings post_limit=10]
    This only shows 10 locations with no regards for the location.

    The expected behavior for the Near Me / Location page is to show only show listings near you, and therefore only categories and pins associated with these listings.”

    I have updated the content that is installed on install but you will need to update that manually in the location page, please change the listing shortcode to

    [gd_listings post_limit=10 add_location_filter='1']

    For the rating i have added a class and a data value to the first inside div (which will still give you the same effect)
    It will look something like this for a 3.5 rating:

    <div class="geodir_post_meta gd-rating-info-wrap gd-align-left gd-lv-s-2  geodir-post-rating-value-3" data-rating="3.5">

    Thanks,

    Thanks Stiofan.

    The shortcode worked. In case there are more than 10 listings returned, how should we do pagination? There were 6 listings around us, we set the post_limit to 2 and added a GD > Loop Paging, but pagination didn’t show. Would the GD > Listing widget with “Enable Location Filter” also work for the next release?

    Thanks for adding the parameter to rating. Looking forward to the update.

    Categories are still not working. We a 1-1 associating between categories and listings, and there are 6 listings around us. 6 Categories should appear, but we get all 30+.

    GD Loop is for Archive and Search pages.

    GD Listings has pagination and max post settings both, try those.

    The Post Limit is what sets how many listings show per page.
    If there are 100 listings that would show, and you set the Post Limit to 2, then there would be 50 pages.

    

    
[gd_listings post_type="gd_place" sort_by="az" title_tag="h3" layout="5" post_limit="2" add_location_filter="1" view_all_link="1" with_pagination="1" top_pagination="1" bottom_pagination="1" pagination_info="after"]

    

    GD Categories in the location page filters based on the URL and shows all categories IN that location.
    

    To see it work, try this page, then the next
    

    https://wpgeo.directory/supreme-directory/location/united-states/california/
    

    https://wpgeo.directory/supreme-directory/location/united-states/
    

    Max posts per page is a WP setting that applies to GD Loop and can be found in WP – Settings – Reading – Posts per page.
