1) How do I control the order of the categories? My categories are the days of the week, and I want them in order.

2) How do I control how the listings look after searching? Right now a lot of information is there and I really just want the picture and restaurant name.

3) How do I control the default view of the listing? I created an information field titled happy hour details and that is what I want to show on default.

You can view my site here: happyhour-girl.com

Thank you in advance.

*I apologize, I originally posted this under general discussion.

2. GD > desdign > search

3. Where do you want the custom field to show by default? I guess on the listings, location and search pages?
Tick “show on listing page” in the custom field settings:
https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/core-place-settings/#common

Please see how the listing looks really weird with it showing the place categories in this odd order.

Also, how do I get the Happy Hour Details to be the first tab on the listing page instead of More Info?

Now that you linked to a listing, I understand your question.
I think for the purpose of ordering them on the detail page, you should be able to change the ID of the categories, I think they are ordered by ID, but it might break your database.
So I’ll ask the others, don’t change anything yet.

This blog post should help you re-order the tabs:
https://wpgeodirectory.com/re-order-tabs-in-a-listing-detail-page/

I am not sure how good you are with code so let us know if you need more help but adding this to your theme functions.php should do it (not tested).
Basically we order them A-Z, i have removed that part in this code

Thanks,

Stiofan

If we can’t change the order of what was popular categories, we need to have the categories of the various firms shown here some how (we don’t care about the popularity of the places/companies – we just want the categories listed alphabetically.

Thank you,
Scott

By default, the categories are listed with the highest number of listings in the category first (that is why it is called popular categories widget).

If there is only one listing in each category, it will list it by order of the ID in the database (or reverse order, not real sure).
