1. Have a look at Appearance > Menus
You should find a set of set of Buddypress links you can add to your menu, depending whether users are logged in or not.
[This is a BuddyPress issue, so you might get more info there].

2. You should find an option in your theme settings I suspect that allows you to change the color of the links in your header.
Otherwise you can try
```
#main-nav a {color: black;}
```
See more at https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/customizing-your-style/

3. Activate the Prices and Payment addon, and create a package that limits what users can add.
Or if you never accept “full” listings from users, set the custom fields to “admin only” at GD > Place settings.

Guust,

Sorry, do you mean the ‘Geodir Payment Manager’?

Cheers

Guust,

Any plan in the future to integrate Payfort as a payment gateway with this add-on. If not, is it possible for us to integrate it separately? I am in the Middle East so I am struggling to find a payment gateway that is applicable with my Region.

Many Thanks

Craig

Hi Craig, have a look at this post:
https://wpgeodirectory.com/adding-a-payment-gateway-to-payments-manager/
If I recall correctly, Paolo might be able to refer you to a developer who could give you a hand with it if you need it.

Guust,

Couple more questions I hope you can help me with!

1) After a user posts a review on a listing, our users get redirected to a page saying ‘404’ Page not found (See screenshot) followed by our blog posts that are un categorised. Can you advise why this is happening?

2) I was also wondering if it is possible to change the search function on the GD homepage under the GD MAP, from the “search for” and “near” search boxes to drop down menu’s.

3) We’re looking for Listing Owners to pay a monthly fee for 12 months but if they pay for 12 months up front we want to be able to give them a discount, is this possible?

4) Is there a way to charge a different monthly subscription depending on what category their ‘place’ falls into. I know there is a way to do it by just creating loads of subscription options, however, I don’t want a massive long list of payment plans visible when someone tries to add a new listing.

5) In the pricing and payments add on – is there a way to limit the number of actual ‘tags’ a user can insert to their listing depending on their payment type rather than ‘tag characters’

6) Buddy press has just released a function which allows new users to be split into categories or user type, is this compatible with GD yet and if so how would I implement it.

Thanks very much in advance for any help you can give me.

Many Thanks,

Craig

1. Cannot figure this one out, I will have to pass on to Paolo.
Can you first update all GD plugins and see if that fixes it?

2. Not without customization, and then you could no longer search because it would just be like a navigation menu. The NEAR search is for a search within a radius of a landmark etc.
https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/core-design/#how

3. Create a monthy package at $12 and a yearly package at the discounted overall price.

4. No, not really, except like you say to create a package for each category.
You can hide all the packages from the Add Listing form and create a page that directly links to the relevant package. On that page your users then choose to what category they want to add, and then they go direct to that packages’ add listing.

5. You cannot limit the amount of tags.

6. Without testing, I would think that should work, that would be just a BP function, and GD does not interfere really with BP, it just connects to it. Back up, have a go and let us know 🙂

Hi,

for problem n1 I see /comment-page-1/ in the URL. That is most probably were the problem is coming from. Is that a plugin?

If yes, could you please try deactivating it?

Let us know,

Thanks

Hi Guust,

Thanks for the answers.

1) I have updated and re activated all the GD Plugins but the issue after users leave a review is still there? I don’t think it’s a plugin as I have no plug-ins installed relating to comments? I dont think anyway…

2) Is the search function shown in the attached screenshot a customisation?

4) How would I go about this?

5) I would like to request you consider improving this option in the next upgrade, limiting the amount of actual tags would be very helpful and much more useful to business listing pages.

6) Have had a look at the buddypress integration on Geodirectory and no knew options of this type have appeared.

*Further*

7) Is there a way to cement the pages on the side of the pages? Rather than adding widgets into the pages and them shifting down when the window changes size.

Cheers,
Craig

1. You do not need to de-activate and re-activate anything when updating.
There is something interfering with the comment system. Like Paolo said, if you remove the /comment-page-1/ from the URL after you submitted the comment, you end up at the correct place.
De-activate non-GD plugins one by one to find the culprit, and it might be in your theme too.

2. No, that is the normal GD Search widget.

4. Create the packages,
go to the add listing page,
and take note of the URLs as you choose a different package,
create a page with links to these URLs,
then add this to your CSS to hide the packages on the add-listing page:
```
.geodir_price_package_row {display: none}
```
5. Tags are a normal WP function, that is not possible without re-writing some part. All you will get is people using tags without spaces.

7. Try removing this from your CSS:
#geodir-wrapper-content {padding-left: 75px;}

8. Update Advanced search manually by extracting the latest ZIP file to your computer, and then upload to replace the current files. Then go back to admin and refresh the update page, it now should work.

Hi Guust/ Paolo,

I’m having trouble updating my add-ons, I have tried downloading all the zip files and uploading them individually for each add – on. I keep getting the error message

“Destination folder already exists. /home2/garagej6/public_html/wp-content/plugins/geodir_advance_search_filters/

Plugin install failed.”

Any help on this? Thanks. Craig
