    Im trying to organize my importing options:

    CSV IMPORT:
    I have the sample “Place Lsiting” csv. I have the following questions to make sure im importing correctly.
    1) “Post Auther” has “1” all the way down. Should i assign “1” for “post author” for the new import itmes?
    2) For “geodir_timing”. If the business has different hours every day. Do we put the first day (Monday 2-9pm) then the next days seperated by commas?
    3) For “image”. Can we put the image url? What are the options to input the image(s)

    SOCIAL IMPORT:
    For the social import functionality:
    1) where do I find the link for the social import interface/option? My site is localradar.in/williamsburg

    Please review https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/core-export/#mandatory

    1) post_author: the WordPress ID of the WP user, for example you can use 1 for the first admin account created

    2) This is a free text field, so you can enter any writing you like, that is how it will be shown.

    3) Please review https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/core-export/#images

    Hi,

    the input to import from Facebook or Yelp links can be found only in the front end add listing form.

    Let me know if that is what you were looking for and if you got the notification for this reply.

    Thanks

    it doesn’t seem like you completed the setup. https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/guide-to-setting-up-your-geodirectory-website/

    Normally the add listing page would be at:

    http://www.localradar.in/williamsburg/add-listing/?listing_type=gd_place

    If you are logged out it should redirect you to the login page http://www.localradar.in/williamsburg/gd-login that is missing too.

    If you provide admin credentials in a private reply I will check your setup.

    Let us know,

    1) I think you are better off to have one installation of WP and GD at the main domain name. That way your visitors can search more than one neighborhood at the time, the listing they are looking for might be just across the boundary. The way you propose would mean that a visitor who wants to review a few listings, or a user who wants to add his different businesses across different neighborhoods would have to go through the registration process twice, and will need to log in to more than one site when coming back later.
    If you really wanted to have different sites for each location, you are best to set up a multisite, with each location in a subdirectory. At least users will be shared across the sites then, but they still will not be able to search across the different sites then.

    2) See #1.

    3) The payments and prices manager allows you to create different packages with different privileges. For example a free package with only one image that can be added to one category, and a paid package with max 20 images, can be added to 5 categories, can add facebook link, and is featured on all pages where it is shown.

    4) If you use PayPal or Stripe, you can set up price packages that are automatically charging every month or year etc.
