    I’m trying to figure out best practices in order to achieve a custom location page. I have a tourism site with various beach towns, which I have configured as “cities” within the locations addon. The original pages on my site have lots of information about the location along with formatted within the content (formatted through wordpress classic editor), the original page layout was created with Beaver Builder. Here is an example of one page… https://www.marautour.com/guia-barra-grande-taipu-de-fora/ . Ideally I would like to have the same layout on the location page for each specific “city”.

    As I understand it, the correct way to do this according to GD is add html in the “location description” box on the edit location page. But this reconfigures the layout, and I’m not proficient enough in html to get the layout like I have it originally.

    The other way that I thought would be more customizable would be to leave the original page and just add widgets or shortcode using beaver builder, but there doesn’t seem to be a way to filter the “categories” widget or the listings for the individual “cities”. I can only create a layout for the top level location page, which of course loads all of the places and unfiltered category results in the region. I would have to create my own link structure of course, but this is already in place. This solution would also be better for SEO in that I won’t need redirects.

    Is there a recommended way to achieve what I’m trying to do? i.e. a fully customizable location page that does not rely solely on inserting html into the location description box? I hope I explained my goal correctly!
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,

    Have you got GDV2 running?
    Once you have it running, you can use GD Listings with the advanced option “Enable location filter” to show each different CPT for each city automatically. The Title and Meta are also different with each location.

    You can do your unique location specific content with an HTML editor, and then paste it into the Location Description box, yes.
