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

even if not set to home page

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

I can’t decipher Theme Compatibility Settings

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,

Stiofan

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 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,

Stiofan

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

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,

Stiofan
