    We’re using V2 and are using fixed widgets to keep the right information in view on listing pages, with the map widget and location widget in the sidebar.

    However, although every other widget seems to work fine with a fixed position, the location widget moves out to the right as you scroll down the page.
    You can see this behaviour at http://www.carsuk.net/places/united-kingdom/kent/east-peckham/car-service-repair/rcv-land-rover-specialists/

    Also, on the same page, we’re using code to not show Jetpack related posts on the custom post type and have tried ‘place’ ‘gd_place’ and more but we can’t get it to work. What’s the correct CPT to enter?

    Hi John,

    Thanks for your reply. Could you try inserting the custom CSS code below and see if it helps? 

    .single-gd_place .geodir-output-location {
    display: block!important;  
}

    Thanks Kor – that worked!

    I appreciated Jetpack issues aren’t your problem, but are we using the right CPT name?

    Hi John Overend,

    Thanks for your reply and I’m glad that helped. As for the Jetpack related CPT, sorry, I’m not sure how it works.

    Thanks!

    Okay. I just wanted to know that we’re using the right CPT name to exclude GD CPTs from displaying Jetpack related posts.

    The CPT name is listed in the add listing URL or on the post types settings page. On your site at that link it is gd_place, yes. See ss attached

    Thanks Alex – above and beyond!

    Sadly, we’ve tried that and it doesn’t work. Jetppack isn’t your problem but, oddly, if we remove the related posts altogether it screws up the listings pages layout!

    OhMy I see what you mean. Why are you using that, then? 😉

    Do you mean the related posts? It drives traffic round the regular site, but we don’t want it on the listings pages.

    Looks like they have workarounds: https://jetpack.com/support/related-posts/customize-related-posts/

    Yes, we tried the code to remove related posts altogether (and add them back in on normal posts in the template instead) after the code we found to remove it just on a CPT failed to work (hence asking earlier about the right name). But if we do add the code it does odd things to the listings layout.

    After doing an internal link audit we’ve decided, for now at least, to remove the related posts from the site.

    Switching it off works fine on all normal posts, but it messes with the layout of listings by overlaying what should be after the listing across the middle of it. Any ideas?

    What happens if you disable the sticky sidebar?

    Good suggestion – but it made no difference!

    On the profile section everything below the actual listing content – including the footer – renders in the middle of the profile content, but works fine on other tabs.

    This is an issue with your theme and JP integration, then. Try to contact the theme author for support.
