    Hello

    I have two issues:

    I asked a few weeks ago is there any way of changing the colour of the place tag? Please look at http://www.laughterassociation.co.uk/location/ – I would like to have different colours for the different categories. I know I can add icons but I just want the tag to have a different colour – I know this can be done on Google Maps.

    The main issue now is that since I asked I tried to add a small icon to one of my Place Categories but it was too large so I deleted it again but it has kept showing on the website eventhough the Place Category shows there is no icon.

    So I deleted the Place Category to set it up again. Now when I try and set up a new Place Category it will not allow me because it asks be to upload an image, a Place Category Icon, which I dont want to at the moment.

    Please advise.
    Thank you.
    Lotte

    Hi Lotte,

    We can use some custom CSS to apply colors to the categories. Insert the custom CSS code below into GD > Design > Scripts > Custom Style CSS

    
    
    .geodir-popular-cat-list .geodir-pcat-show:nth-child(1) a {
        color:orange!important;
    }
    
    .geodir-popular-cat-list .geodir-pcat-show:nth-child(2) a {
        color:blue!important;
    }
    
    .geodir-popular-cat-list .geodir-pcat-show:nth-child(3) a {
        color:pink!important;
    }
    
    .geodir-popular-cat-list .geodir-pcat-show:nth-child(4) a {
        color:brown!important;
    }
    
    .geodir-popular-cat-list .geodir-pcat-show:nth-child(5) a {
        color:yellow!important;
    }
    
    .geodir-popular-cat-list .geodir-pcat-show:nth-child(6) a {
        color:black!important;
    }

    Regarding the issue you had while changing the category icon, could you possibly share temp WP admin access so that I could try to replicate it?

    Thanks!

    Please advise how to give you temp WP access as I am concerned you will have access to it all? And can I email this instead of posting it in the knowledge base?

    THanks.

    Also – I have added the pin script as described but I cannot seem to change it on any of the categories as it just automatically adds it. Although, at the moment I cannot change or add place categories because of the icon issue.

    Hi Lotte,

    Just provide your WP admin access in private reply and I’ll check it out here on my end.

    Thanks!

    I don’t know how to do that – do I set up a new user? 🙁 And is this a private place?

    Okay – I just noticed what the colours did and it was NOT what I intended. I want the place peg to be different colours, not the texts. The pegs so that when you look at the map you can see the different colours. It I have the image in different colours then I can upload it as place category image which the system is asking for. But the script you gave me that I added does the wrong thing.

    Please advise.
    Thanks
    Lotte

    Hi Lotte,

    Thanks for your reply and I’m sorry for the misunderstanding. You can achieve this by uploading different map markers for your categories. The custom CSS code I’ve provided earlier will only affect the texts on that particular widget. Let me know if I’m misunderstanding your question.

    Thanks!

    Okay – is there any way of getting the one that is already on the system as the red marker – just in different colours? It has the right size for the map so it really makes sense.

    I still have the problem with not being able to save new place categories without adding an image.

    Hi Lotte,

    Sorry, we don’t have that but you can always create these map markers on your own or check out some of these icons for your directory https://mapicons.mapsmarker.com/category/markers/stores/apparel/

    Also, you need to provide images for your all your categories so that it is displayed on the map.

    Thanks!

    The issue with the place category is still persisting but I have added the markers so got around the issue that way but the problme still needs sorting I think

    Hi Lotte,

    What problem are you still facing? Could you explain again or probably provide a temp WP admin access so that I could take a better look at it? You can use the private reply option below.

    Thanks!
