    How do you customise the name of the categories? From hotels, restaurants to a different name

    You can change the category name going into the category section under the post type (e.g. Place Category), in the left hand side of wordpress.

    Hi,

    the size can vary, the default Google Maps icons are 20px X 34px

    Example: http://playground.geotheme.com/files/2012/04/1.png

    The best thing is to keep that ratio.

    You can only upload Jpeg or Png files.

    Thanks

    Hi

    I am having trouble creating new categories and also the new icons are not showing which I have uploaded, please see http://www.hoodirectory.com. I have watched most of the videos but I am unable to find one that explains step by step? I am not sure what is supposed to appear in Count or slug? Do you have a guide on this and also the difference between the categories in posts and the categories in places?

    Hello, you don’t see any category in the map because you have not created any listing in any of the category you’ve created. There are only two listings (set as draft) but without (at least) a category set.
    You can choose the category when adding the listing, there is a dropdown.

    If you want to submit listing outside your default city, you need the MultiLocation addon (available here https://wpgeodirectory.com/addons/multilocation/ )

    Hi,

    – map isn’t showing because since the last time you ticked the post type and the categories in the settings were to HIDE, see attachment (it clearly says Note: Tick respective post type or categories which you want to hide from home page map widget.)
    I’ve de-ticked all of them and now the map is showing the listing and the map.

    – if you subscribed for all the add ons and you cannot see the multilocation addon, I will let Paolo or Stiofan have a look.

    OK thanks I will wait for them to let me know about the multi location add on,

    Also the map is showing now but it’s defaulted to satellite how do I change this to the normal google maps view?

    Default view is “Road Map” (so it has been changed before). You can change the map style in the widget, inside the GD Home Top Section. The widget for the map is GD > Gmap – Home Page and the dropdown for the map style is under the “Select Map View”

    Hi, I’ve asked Stiofan and you should be able to download the addon.
    It is named Geodir Location Manager.
