Istead of an excerpt I need to display full description of a place in a list.
as in [gd_listings … character_count=”5000″] but it only allows 255.
How can I change it to display all of the description in a list?

There is a limit built into WordPress for excerpts. It can be adjusted with this snippet (set to 50000 words here).
```
add_filter( 'excerpt_length', function($length) {
    return 50000;
} );
```
This is a PHP Snippet and can be added as described here: https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/useful-plugins/#snippets

Then make sure your shortcode has the correct punctuation like:
```
[gd_listings post_type="gd_place" layout="1" post_number="100" character_count="50000"]
```
