Hi guys,
My questions below relate to CPTs. I have raised this before, but I am not entirely happy with the outcome, so I am reaching out to you in the hope that I can find a good solution.
I love the idea about the CPT as it gives so much freedom in how I can set up the categories and CPT specific filters, reviews etc.. The only problem is that you cannot then allow users to search across all or multiple CPS. I appreciate that this is how GD is designed so I was given a workaround to this, and the solution was to create different price packages and restrict which categories those price plans are assigned to.
To be honest, I find his a really convoluted method and doesn’t necessarily solve my problem. One main issue is that having to create multiple price packages is not user friendly, and it doesn’t look good on the listing page when there are so many packages available. I would like to work with a maximum of three price packages (Free, one for featured listing and the other for some other suitable method to monetise my directory)
Yes this suits the example you have given here (https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/creating-different-event-types/) but try creating a yelp like site with various categories, and filters and you will see this doesn’t quite work.
So my question that I have are: (unless I am missing something above)
1. is it possible to customise the code to be able to search across multiple CPT’s? i.e. are there any restrictions imposed due to the design of Geodirectory that would prevent this kind of change being implemented?
2. If the above is possible, how would you rate the complexity of achieving such a change and are there any risks to consider when attempting this?
