GD Details page not working

Elementor Pro is required to create a theme builder layout for the details page template.

I can check your setup.

Add your WP Admin credentials in a private reply and I will check it out.

You say you want to add previous next links: when you add something to an Elementor layout use the Shortcode module, and inside that you should see a shortcode builder button

I have added a screenshot that shows the shortcode builder button, available when adding a shortcode element. Click into the code area and it will appear.

The details page is now setup correctly and working:

For more information about how to use Elementor please contact the plugin author.

Oh, I forgot the screenshot of the shortcode builder in Elementor, attached.

The GD Details is now setup as a theme builder layout, so, make sure you edit that one in the theme builder settings.

Did you have additional questions about how GD works?

1. I used Elementor to save it from the GD Details wp page and reload it in the layout.

2. A directory map can be built with the shortcode builder. Select GD Map, then click the blue button for advanced options. In map type select “Directory” and then adjust the options to add the post type and category selectors.

3. Looks like a lot of empty categories. As you add them they will appear there.

You can have some control of the layout by altering the GD Categories shortcode to show a limited number of parent or child categories.

4. This looks like a CSS issue. We will take a look and get back to you with a fix.

5. That is the Place Custom Post Type Archive, and the layout is determined by the GD Archive template.

Yours is here: https://www.visitthecariboo.ca/places/

It looks like you have used a builder on the page. If you want to use GD’s built in sorting options you will want to switch in the GD Default content for the Archive template

[gd_loop_actions]
[gd_loop layout=2]
[gd_loop_paging]

GD Loop Actions displays the sorting options. You will probably need to use GD Loop, also, so that the listings respond to the sorting query.

I recommend you at least take a look through each of these, they explain all of the templates, what they are for, and what shortcodes are used on each of them.

GeoDirectory is built to scale, to 5 million listings, a feat that is basically impossible for other WP plugins because of how the data is stored. With GDV2 we have made significant changes to how the template system works. When it starts out at install, you have basic settings for every template in place. From there, it is about making it ‘yours’ using a builder or changing the configuration.

I’d say you have done pretty well for yourself, so far, but, perhaps a review of the templates will help to clarify their purpose, at least.
