    After days of looking and trying many work arounds to the way that Gd login/dashboard works. I went back to adding the login widget in the footer… for now, I need a break!

    Anyway, yep, can login, widget populates with add listing/my listings. When I click on one of my listings, it comes up but the dashboard link in breadcrumbs goes to …/author/—/?geodir_dashbord=true&stype=gd_place. This login acct (subscriber) does not have any listings in the default place, which is named Marketplace. So the Marketplace title is there with the message “No listings found which match your selection.”

    How is the dashboard link in the breadcrumbs suppose to work?

    thank you

    The links in the dashboard widget will go to the logged-in user’s listings.
    It works exactly the same on any page, it will not link to the author page of another user.

    If you want to go to the author page of the user that owns the listing, you need to activate the Claims addon, and add a link to the author in the sidebar of the detail page.

    Hi Guust, thanks for the reply.

    I am logged in as a subscriber (user). I click on my listings in the login widget and, yes, a page comes up showing them depending on which CPT(category) I choose. But once on the page of my listings in this certain CPT, if I click on the dashboard link in the breadcrumbs, I am sent to a page that shows the default GD “places” category, in my case named Marketplace, as title, and in the page body it says “No listings found which match your selection”. So, the dashboard link in the breadcrumbs is not going to the dashboard where I can then see the form to view my other listings, or add a listing or…

    URL ending of page where I can see listings that I have in CPT Community: …/author/micki/?geodir_dashbord=true&stype=gd_places_to_stay

    URL of where I end up if I click on the dashboard link in breadcrumbs, where I have no listings: …/author/micki/?geodir_dashbord=true&stype=gd_place

    I am not expecting (or wanting) to to go to another author’s page, I’m wanting to see mine, logged in as a subscriber.

    Are you saying that only if they are claimed listings, the dashboard link in the breadcrumb will show my listings? Otherwise not?

    Clear as mud?
    Thanks again

    Ok, I think I’m getting it. There is no dashboard page at all is there, only by using the login widget in sidebar is one able to see their “dashboard”, correct?

    And if so, also, if a user clicks on one of their listings from the “dashboard” in sidebar, once on that listing’s page there is no way to access their “dashboard” unless the login widget is on every listing’s page or they hit the back button, correct?

    Just trying to understand here…
    Thanks!

    Correct.

    Correct too.

    With the BuddyPress integration you can create what you probably think a dashboard should look like:
