Featured Listings

Hello!

“Featured” is an option in pricing packages; it is usually used as an incentive to encourage your customers to purchase a higher priced package.

For sorting, see, for example for the places CPT: GD > Place Settings > Sorting Options > Featured

There is a widget for the slideshow:

Hi Joel,

If you want one SUPER FEATURED package to be shown ABOVE another FEATURED package, you could add a special field to the higher package called “SUPER FEATURED”, set it to be default “on/true/yes” and set that in the sort.

You would have to use a single listing widget, though, couldn’t use two in that case, because it isn’t possible to set a widget or shortcode to filter based on a custom field.

If you wanteed to use two widgets, you can use tags to filter, but this is a more complicated useage and requires some manual intervention on the listing.

1. Turn on shortcodes for widgets

add_filter('widget_text', 'do_shortcode');

2. Optional: hide tags from add listing form
3. When user registers SUPER FEATURED package, set a tag “SUPER FEATURED”
4. Add text widget with shortcode

[gd_listings post_type="gd_place" layout=4 tags="SUPER FEATURED"]

4A. Note that the filter for tags actually uses the nae/title, not the slug.
See https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/core-shortcodes/#listings

Let us know how you go about it
