    Hey Guys at Geo…

    OK so first of all I’m brand new here with GeoDirectory

    I’m using this to build a directory of sole traders, so rather than using business names I’m wanting to use First and Last names.

    I’ve got membership and installed the Custom Post Types, created a custom group called “artists”

    I’ve created my “List of fields that will appear on the new Artists listing Form” in this order:
    First Name (text)
    Last Name (text)
    Category
    Address
    Time (Disabled)
    Phone
    Email
    etc
    etc

    Now when I go to my “Add new artist” link, I have the mandatory “Artist Title” and “Artist Description” and “Tag Keywords” showing BEFORE my custom list.

    I want to remove “Artist Title” completely (as I’m using First name/Last name instead)

    I want to move the “Artist Description” to after the First/Last name fields too…

    How can I do this? These mandatory fields aren’t listed in my custom fields list.

    Please help….. thanks

    Hello!

    You can reorder the fields in GD > Place Setttings > Custom Fields (Drag and Drop)

    You can drag your fields as ‘high’ as they can go, but no further, and making them ‘higher’ in the form above those required fields is not possible without customization.

    Ok, let’s start looking at customising the form. Where do I start? Which files contain the default layout?

    Thought I’d add a screenshot of what I need to do…

    OK, I’ve managed to remove to “Country” listing through “manage locations” Settings.

    Just to change the default/mandatory sections at the top of the form…

    Title, description and tags are the default WP fields required for any posts, they will stay on the top, unless you customize the template.

    You cannot have a WP post or GD listing without a title, a title is compulsory.

    If you want to work on the templates, have a look at https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/customizing-geodirectory-templates/ but assistance with changing files is not part of support.

    Thanks

    OK, thanks… I’m considering an alternative way around gathering the info I want.

    I didn’t realise these fields were related to the default WP post titles, etc

    GD Listings are tapping into the standard WP way of adding pages, posts, listings etc, they all use the same principles: title, content, tags, categories etc.

    Thanks
