    Merry Christmas!

    Is working on a testpage with the new GDV2 installed/updated from GDV1. How do you remove comments link (and icon) from listings? I have checked the remove stars. But you have to leave the comments under this selection.

    There is no design/scripts page for css custom codes in GDV2 it seems. Where do you place custom codes that is not predefined with selectable shortcodes?

    You can use the Customizer or use a CSS plugin.
    See https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs-v2/faq/common-examples/#faq

    Thanks

    Thank you. Yes I have unchecked the allow people to post comments. But it does not make a difference for the GDV2 comments. I also tried to place the code mentioned in this string, in the customizer for my KLEO theme. But that does not remove it.

    Then I installed a css plugin and placed the code in the css as written underneath:
    .single-gd_event .dt-btn,.single-gd_event .geodir-pcomments {
    display:none!important;
    }

    But it still does not remove the comment link in listings.

    What code should be placed to remove comments?

    Additional information to previous post:

    I also installed a plugin that should remove comments alltogether but that does now work eather. There must be some way to remove the link and bubble-icon.

    I have attached a photo of where it is placed in listings.

    Yes I have unchecked the allow people to post comments.
    Did you do that before or after you added the listings?
    Do you still get comments on new listings?

    You need to edit the archive item template to remove the “no comments”

    1. In reference to your kind reply above:
    – I tried to make a new post and I still see the “no comment + icon” link. So it is not only in old posts I see the link, so going in archives will not make a difference.

    At this time also the following issues prevents me from being able to use the GDV2 version.

    2. I search for posts near aarhus for example (a danish city). Then when you have looked at a post that is in that city the name of the city gets stuck in the URL. No matter if I use the “all places” link, it only shows the ones that are in that particular city. Even if I erase the city in the search field for locations the URL keeps being stuck at the particular city. I have to click on the home button all together to get away from that city. It will prevent users from using the site properly.

    3. I would like to be able to remove the “near me location” link that is part of the location finder search bar in GDV2. I am sure it can be a good feature in the future but I do no want my site to ask permission to set peoples address location to find posts in their geographical area. Is there any way the location manager can function the way it does in GDV1 without the “near me location” link?

    1. In reference to subject 1 again.
    About the “no comment” link. I see at your page that archive is a template. Sorry. But what do I need to “take away/edit” in that template to avoid the ” no comment” link?

    Please see my question 2 and 3 as well above.

    I really appreciate you help. There are just a few issues with GDV2 (at my test site) but they are important.

    1. Something like: [gd_post_rating alignment=’left’ ]
    2. There are options for removing the location filter from URLs on the Archive and Details page at:
    GD, Settings, Locations, Show Advanced, Archive urls, and Archive urls on details page
    3. Removing the “Near Me” link from the near search / location switcher – there isn’t an option for this. I am not sure there is any point to removing it either, because the field works for ‘any’ location. It uses the Map API to lookup a location lat/lon and uses that lat/lon to search in your database for nearby listings. Hiding Near Me as an option would not stop users from searching for a place near their own location. Nonetheless I will flag your question for the developers in case they might have an idea about how to go about it.

    2. Have a look at the image. Hovering over the marker icon allows you to clear the location in the search bar.

    Hello Henriette,

    You can remove “Near Me” from location switcher via style.

    You following css snippet:

    

    .gdlm-location-suggestions .gdlmls-near li.gd-near-me {
    display: none !important
}
    

    Thanks,
    
Kiran

    Guust: 2. In reference to the answer: Hovering over to remove the field. Thank you, yes I do this. But even if it is cleared, it still gets stuck on the city even if I choose a different listing. 
    

    Kiran: Thank you. I am still unsure of how to best place css styles in GDV2. I am not sure if placing scripts under my template (KLEO) is the best way to go. Do you recommend installing a CSS plugin to place scripts? And will that work with GDV2 I wonder?

    2. It clears the search field for a new search, if you click on another listing then you activate the same location again.
    
Alex’s suggestions should solve your issue.
