    GeoDirectory has somehow completely broken a brand new installation on a WP Multisite network using Genesis

    activated on mainsite only
    suite of GD plugins

    no problem until set option for
    Set geodirectory home page as your home

    it put the map and search into the header

    unchecking that left genesis layout broken with content overlapping the header

    deactivate geodirectory (after deactivating gd plugins) WHITE SCREEN OF DEATH

    deleted all GD plugins to restore layout

    presently reinstalling geodirectory – for one last try

    reinstalling and activating geodirectory plugins breaks layout

    even if not set to home page

    with geodirectory activated it ignores the fact that there is a nav-secondary secondary nav menu and aligns the site-inner to below the site-header

    I can’t see this in css so geodirectory is overwriting hooks (or some other nonsense)

    I can’t decipher Theme Compatibility Settings

    Link and probably wp-admin would help. Templates with themes are a complicated thing. Please explain what u expect to happen and what IS happening and i will try and help.

    Thanks,

    thanks for the prompt response

    I solved by adding margins to CSS, but this is not something that I think should be required

    expectation would be that the GD elements behave like other elements instead of ‘taking over’ – GD shouldn’t be overriding templates

    at this point no action required — hopefully

    I am glad you got things back on “track” 🙂
    I am still not sure what the problem is without links, but if you think this is something we need to add to core we will work with you to resolve things.

    GD has a bunch of shortcodes you can use also if you dont want our system to use any actions to change templates.

    Thanks,

    ahh… shortcodes would be nice, I’ll test to see if they modify the template like the widgets do (not sure ‘modify template’ is accurate but that is what it looks like)

    basically the issue is that Genesis themes have the option for two nav menus in the header area (but the secondary nav-menu is not in the header, it is below it)

    with geodirectory activated it causes the content area (site-inner in genesis) to move up and over the nav-secondary menu ignoring it, it is aligning to the site-header

    this in turn causes issues whether a page has breadcrumbs or not as the ‘fix’ was to add a margin, but the same margin can’t be universal – which makes it a pain in caboose

    my site is under construction and changing rapidly behind a maintenance wall, so not keen to use it as a test site, but if you install a genesis theme (magazine pro for example) and activate the menus, I bet you’ll see the same thing

    not sure what caused the White Screen of Death, but that made the conductor and engineer look for an alternative railroad

    Well feel free to try the shortcodes, if you want to stop GD doing any template changed please go to GD>Theme compatibility and set the theme to “select theme”. Here is the details of shortcodes: http://docs.wpgeodirectory.com/search/shortcodes

    Im sure this could be fixed with the theme compatibility settings, if you want me to have a look in the future just let me know.

    Thanks,
