Director Starter – how to make it mobile friendly

Hi Brian,

Thanks for reaching us. Let me try to answer your questions accordingly.

#a You’ll have to purchase the “Advanced Search” addon https://wpgeodirectory.com/downloads/advanced-search-filters/ and kindly refer to this section of the documentation as it explains more about how geolocation works https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/search-filters-overview/#geolocation

#b You can change all the map icons in the place “categories”

#c Insert the custom CSS below into Gd > Design > Scripts > Custom Style CSS to reduce the font size for the “Popular Category” widget.

@media only screen and (max-width: 480px) {

.geodir_popular_post_category .geodir-cat-list ul.geodir-popular-cat-list li {
    font-size: 13px;
    
}
}

Thanks!

Hi Brian,

If you purchase an add-on, you’ll need to renew the license annually https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/buying-addons-and-support/#buy . Not sure what do you mean by “Looking CLuttered”, check out these examples on your mobile https://wpgeo.directory/ and see if it’s what you’re looking for.

Thanks!

Hi Brian,

Could you possibly share your WP admin credentials in private reply so that I could check the setup?

Thanks

Hi Brian,

I took a look at your site. You have added a lot of listings and it is looking good!

I noticed your home page sidebar is empty. Are you going to use that area? If not, you can hide it at GD > Design > home

Your new category icons look good, they are a little smaller. There are several different styles available, one of the styles with more white in it might make the markers seem less cluttered again.

About your question, if there is a mobile setting for search radius, no there isn’t. “Nearby” features are all included in Advanced Search Filters addon, but it doesn’t include a separate setting for mobile.

What’s your plan with your site? Will you add more cities, or stay in London and the London area?

With the Location Manager Addon, you have some additional shortcodes that you can use, the “Popular Locations”shortcode will show a list of links to the different cities and regions features on your site.

You can check it out here:
https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/location-manager-shortcodes/

You are already using popular categories, and you have a good set of categories, not to few, not too many. Instead of using nearby features, then, you could share a list of popular locations, links to specific areas so your visitors can see the listings in those specific areas.

You might consider hiding one or more categories on the home page map to further reduce the number of pins.

Let us know if you have any questions about any of that.

Hi Brian,

sounds good, let us know if you have more questions. Feel free to open a new topic.

Hi Brian,

You will need to have a secure site (SSL). Kindly refer to this section of the documentation as it explains more about how geolocation works https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/search-filters-overview/#geolocation .
