We’ve modified the listings page to include location and other details at the end of the information so desktop users don’t have to scroll back to the top to find them. But the links aren’t clickable (see http://www.carsuk.net/places/united-kingdom/greater-london/london/classic-cars-1/chelsea-cars-londons-finest-classics/)

Despite (we think) the right settings for locations, the search near still offers places and countries outside the UK.

That seems related to some caching you are using, possibly from the page builder you seem to be using.
Please post WP admin details in a private reply if we need to have a look at your settings.
Thanks

Hi John,

Thanks for your reply. Could you try applying this custom CSS code below into Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS and see if it fixes it?
```
.single-gd_place .geodir-loc-bar {display:none;}
```

That did the trick – thank you!

Do I need to open a new ticket for the Meta and GD-place query?

Although, unsurprisingly, it didn’t fix the ‘UK Only’ location issue!

The fix also removed the search bar we’d put at the bottom of the listings page so readers have somewhere logical to go when they get to the bottom of the page.

Hi John,

Thanks for your reply. Could you revert the changes and share the URL of the page in question? I’m not sure what you mean by “UK Only” location.

Thanks!

CSS change reverted.

The directory is set to ‘UK’, but if you use the search bar location it offers up suggestions worldwide.

It’s the same on all places, but you can see it at http://www.carsuk.net/places/united-kingdom/greater-london/london/classic-cars-1/chelsea-cars-londons-finest-classics/

Hi John,

Alright, try the custom CSS code below instead and see if it helps.
```
.single  .geodir-loc-bar .geodir-loc-bar-in {
    height: 100px;
}

.single  .geodir-loc-bar {
    border:0px;
}
```

Thanks Kor. That seems to work. Will it still work if we decide to put the same search box with background image we use on the home page (http://www.carsuk.net/motoring-directory/) on the detail pages?

The other queries?

Hi John,

Thanks for your reply. It seems to work when I check this page http://www.carsuk.net/motoring-directory/ .

Yes, it does, but I was wondering if we could put that in the template page so it showed at the end of ever listing. But I guess we can’t put the div in as is?

Hi John,

Sorry, I’m not so sure what you mean there but you can give it a try and if it doesn’t work, I can take a look at it.

We tried, but if we stick the whole dive we use on the home page for the directory in place of the shortcode for search at the bottom of the template it tries to render it in the middle of the page.

We’re also finding that all category links, whether on the listings pages or in the featured categories on the home page, seem to default to ‘Oxfordshire’rather than the national listing categories.
