Claim Me?

Thanks.. but what can I do with the listings that I have already uploaded? Can I edit them in WP admin page edit? I am not seeing an option to mark them Claimed or Unclaimed when editing a Place? Seems like that would be an available default edit.

Paolo and Guust,

Thanks… I only see the post_author column and not a claimed column.

So if I need to add this Claimed Column can you give me instructions on how to do that please?

This is something that you added to the Supreme Theme where it shows “Claim Me” if it is not claimed.

The issue I am having is that I uploaded via WP all Import some listings and they show me as the owner of the listing and I would prefer it say “Claim Me”.

It doesn’t look like I can just edit those listings and change it to “UnClaimed” (which would be very helpful and a feature I have in other WP Directory Themes).

Since I am just testing so far it would be easy for me to add a Claimed column to my CSV, assuming that option to map to that column is already in the import for GeoDirectory. But it would also be helpful to have the option to change this setting via admin when editing a Place listing.

Also can we add an image for the Claim Me profile image? see screenshot

“Adding a column will not do anything, you must activate the addon…”

By addon you mean the GeoDirectory Pricing Manager? So… now I understand. I didn’t think you had to have the “GeoDirectory Pricing Manager” installed in order to claim a listing so I did not have it activated. Nor was it specifically mentioned.

I wasn’t planning on adding a Pricing Plan for this demo test but I did want business owners to be able to claim their listing. And I didn’t want to add yet another plugin especially WooCommerce….I try to avoid WC personally and really don’t like it when themes force me to install WC.

But really glad to see that you have another option with Invoicing and hope that it is a better option. I am however disappointed to see that it is not included in the Membership and is yet another cost to have additions like PayPal Pro and or Stripe. I guess that is the price to pay if I don’t want to use WooCommerce.

“and you must add the “is claimed” custom field” So you are saying that not only do I need to add the GD Pricing Manager Plugin but I also need to manually add the “is Claimed” custom field? Where can I find instructions on how to add the “is claimed” custom field?

About the Claim Me Image….“but it will need updating everytime Supreme is updated” Is there NOT a Child Theme for Supreme? Really?? You guys have done such a great job with GeoDirectory and it would be so easy to offer a child theme for provided themes. Sure hope this is on the roadmap as it would seem to make your job easier in the long run.

Just my thoughts:

I am just learning GeoDirectory and looking at it with fresh eyes. I think that sometimes that could be helpful. I know we get “blind” to issues when we are so involved in their development. So just sharing my thoughts in case it helps… otherwise feel free to disregard.

It feels awfully convoluted that you have to jump through all these hoops to use the features of the provided theme. I am sure that I am not the only user to run into these issues and have questions… am I? Maybe so… One of the things that I like about GeoDirectory is that even with all of these learning curves that I am facing it is more straight forward than most of the themes that I have tested.

So far I tested the Whoop theme and had an issue with the map showing up in the middle of the hero image… little did I know that this was an exact knockoff of the Yelp detail page. Why? because the demo does not show this detail page this way. That was confusing. Not sure why the demo would show a totally different example. So that was yet another support ticket to figure that out. And when I realized that it would take a lot more customization to change how it looked I needed to look for another theme.

So then I go to test a non GeoDirectory theme and that is a pretty good learning curve too. Then I go back to test the Supreme Directory theme and you see what issues I have had so far with it. Features are added to the theme that requires plugins in order to work but it took me and you all of these support tickets to get it sorted.

GeoDirectory has some of the best documentation that I have seen overall but each time I run into an issue I go first to the docs and then to search the support docs only to not find the answer. Just adding an ordered list that accompanied the Theme that explained any additional plugins to get the features all working would be very helpful instead of having to take your time and mine in support. I really would rather not even have to post in support but so glad you are here! You guys are awesome and I appreciate you so much but I also like to try and do it on my own if I can.
