Hi, I have set up a site using GD Supreme v1 and another from scratch using GD Supreme v2. I have been reading the documentation but can’t find how to set some layouts so they are the same as v1.

1. Home Page – Place Details

a) In V1 the listing description is not displayed. In V2 the description is displayed. How do I remove the description. Category settings – “Show in extra output location ” is blank.

b) is it possible to display just the city or neighbourhood of the Place address on this page?

2. Listing Details Page

a) In V1 Category, address, cost are shown in the Sidebar. In V2, the GD Sidebar has the GD > Listings widget which shows the image, reviews and description. I want to customise the sidebar to display other “Place” fields and remove description and image. How can this be done?

3. Home Page Category Buttons

In V1, the width of the buttons remains the same but the height adjusts to fit the category description.
In V2, the height of the button remains the same but the width adjusts. Is it possible to have the width remain constant and height adjust as in V1.

1. See https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs-v2/faq/common-examples/#post_content
2. See the info here about the GD > Output location widget. https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs-v2/geodirectory/getting-started/#sidebar – You will need to add this to the sidebar
3. I think you mean the gd_categories widget in the feature area, but I am not sure. Please say more about that and send a link to the V2 page. Right now we are collecting feedback about the use of the gd_categories feature on the V2 Supreme home page. What you describe sounds possible with CSS. We can give it a try if you send a link.

a) In V1 the listing description is not displayed. In V2 the description is displayed. How do I remove the description. Category settings – “Show in extra output location ” is blank.
Remove this from the Archive Item Templatee:
```
[gd_post_meta key='post_content' show='value-strip']
```

b) is it possible to display just the city or neighbourhood of the Place address on this page?
This should work in both V1 and V2:

2. Listing Details Page
a) In V1 Category, address, cost are shown in the Sidebar. In V2, the GD Sidebar has the GD > Listings widget which shows the image, reviews and description. I want to customise the sidebar to display other “Place” fields and remove description and image. How can this be done?
Use the GD > Output Location widget.

3. Home Page Category Buttons
In V1, the width of the buttons remains the same but the height adjusts to fit the category description.

Can you post the URL of both pages so we can inspect the code for you. You can do that in a private reply.

Thanks

Try this CSS, it will need some fine-tuning, see https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/customizing-your-style/
```
header .featured-area .geodir-categories-container .gd-cptcat-rows ul li .gd-cptcat-cat-right a {

}

header .featured-area .geodir-categories-container .gd-cptcat-rows ul {
    width: 100px;
}

.geodir-categories-container ul li .gd-cptcat-cat-right a {
    overflow: initial;
    white-space: initial;
    line-height: 20px;
}
```
Thanks
