Disabling physical locations

Hello Rick,

Sorry to hear about your trouble; I don’t really know how that could have happened.

About your question, whether some listings in a CPT can have location, while others don’t? There are a couple ways to approach the question.

The short answer is that physical location is either off or on for a CPT and that the settings applies to all the listings using the CPT, no mixing.

That said, if you want to hide listings from the map, you can assign them a category icon that is transparent.

You could use packages to assign a package ID to certain listings with/without locations to use package id CSS to hide certain fields on the page. https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/common-code-snippets/#package

To help us understand, can you tell us more about what you are trying to achieve?

Hi Rick,

I see, I see. Well, I do recommend trying to use as few CPT as possible, and preferably 1, so visitors can use the simplest search possible.

You could definitely have 2 ‘top level’ categories ‘store’ and ‘online’ or something like that, have those be the default categories you use. Then contact a GD Expert if you need help making this customization to add that category to all your listings:

With that in place you could use category to discriminate between online shops.

I would also recommend that you do some translation so you can give your form filling visitors some instructions about how to use the categories properly.
