    Hi,

    Is there any documentation explaining how tags work in GD as it seems a little different to previous sites I built.

    1. Article ( has a tag ‘easy’. Screen shot ‘easy’
    2. This then brings up an archive (?) search limited to the nearest city. I think? Does not bring up an archive search for the term ‘easy’ in all the listings. How do I do this? Screen shot ‘searcheasy’
    3. If I then click on my logo to go home. The default city from a tag search stays and my home page image switches to the default GD one even though this is not my home page image. Screen shot ‘easyhome’.

    It seems to me as a user this is all a bit confusing. Probably some settings I can change to avoid this?

    Thanks!

    Thanks I worked half it out already in location settings > HOME URL SETTINGS

    But I still don’t understand the tags.

    When visiting a location, if you click on a tag you will see all listings with that tag in that location only. Same for categories.

    Simply clicking on a tag does not clear the location setting.

    Hope this helps,

    Thanks

    Okay thanks for clarifying. That is what is happening. Is there anyway to override the location element? I would prefer that a tag searches all articles with that tag as opposed to the tag and specific location.

    If not maybe one for the the future of this great theme 🙂

    I’m sorry, but that’s not possible.

    Thanks

    Hi there. Thanks for the response I managed to achieve what I wanted by removing “Add location in urls” in the permalinks. Are there any downsides to this?

    I can now use the tags feature across all the listings or a type 🙂

    A downside could be less location focused ranking in Google search results…

    Other than that it should work.
