    Hi

    I have installed GeoDirectory V2 on an existing site running Uncode as template.

    I don’t want GD to be my frontpage but as a part of the website. I want the “GD Home” page to be a separat page – and I want to customize the look on the page. I just can’t find a way to do so!

    I have tried adding shortcodes to a page but most shortcodes just ends up displaying the shortcode text and not the functionality that I expected.

    I have also tried to add shortcodes on the search page but I can’t remove the default shortcodes (check it out here https://www.screencast.com/t/FsKdtKu4M ). I am really confused on how to customize this plugin. I don’t want to change the Theme on my website to a GeoDirectory theem – because GeoDirectory will only be a part of my website.

    Can i somehow customize a GD Homepage where I can add search fields, text and more. Customize a search result page where I get the different places shown in 2 columns and a map in a third column.

    The GD Homepage could looke something like this https://wpgeo.directory/supreme-directory/location/united-states/new-york/poughkeepsie/ and the result could look something like the search result on that page.

    I am fully capable in CSS, JavaScript, custom coding in PHP and more – but don’t know where to start.

    – Thanks

    Please post your URL and WP admin details and we will have a quick look.
    If you went through the setup wizard, then everything should be working as you want.
    GD V2 does not use a homepage for your website, you can create that yourself, adding widgets, blocks or shortcodes, depending on your setup.

    Your website homepage will be a WP page where you can add those things.
    The directory homepage is usually the /location/ page, which should already have your requirements on it, but you can customise at GD > Settings > Pages.

    You can use any theme you like, there is no need to use a GD theme.

    Let us know. Thanks

    Hi

    Thanks a lot for the helpt – it helped a lot.

    I still have a couple of issues though.

    1. If I use “WPBakery Page Builder” on the page called “Find Angstbehandler” and add a row which wrappes my shortcode as the following code:
    [vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_wp_text][gd_notifications]
    [gd_search]
    [gd_loop_actions]
    [gd_loop layout=2]
    [gd_loop_paging][/vc_wp_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
    Then I get two set of content on my page. One working and one which doesn’t (check screencast https://www.screencast.com/t/fEv9ooxmm2)
    But the shortcodes is only set once on the page. Is there a way to use WPBakery Page Builder with GeoDirectory – it would make styling a lot more flexible.

    2. If I try to use a short code for map instead of widget – it doesn’t seem to work.
    I have tried the following
    [gd_homepage_map width=100% height=300 scrollwheel=false] and [gd_listing_map width=100% height=300 scrollwheel=false] they only show the shortcode text. It could be very convenient as a short code, because then I could integrate it directly in my design setup on the page (Find angstbehandler
    – https://slipangsten.dk/find-angstbehandler/?geodir_search=1&stype=gd_place&s=+&snear=&sgeo_lat=&sgeo_lon=#/)

    Regards
    Peter

    1. I am not familiar with WPbakery, I’ll get someone else to have a look at that question.

    2. Those are not V2 shortcodes. Use the shortcode builder in classic mode to find the correct shortcode.
