    Good Morning
    I direct my visitors to a page where they can filter places by Category. Please see example page https://www.attractionsnearme.co.uk/places/landmarks/ when the filter is applied only pins are displayed on the map that relate to the initial 8 results. This is fine but the header reads “All Landmarks” which may cause confusion. At the bottom of the page are the pagination buttons. Is it possible to duplicate these buttons at the top of the page or have an alternative way of making it clear to visitors that they are only viewing a limited set of results with more results on additional pages.
    Many Thanks Dan

    Hello Dan,

    Thanks for writing in today. There are a couple things you can do to make the Listing page fit your needs. I will list them out here and you can write back and let us know how it goes.

    1# Increase posts per page the WP way (Applies to Listing Pages, like categories)
    Visit WP > Reading and raise the number of posts shown on each page.
    https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/faqs/how-do-i-change-the-number-of-listings-per-page/

    2# Add the advanced pagination customization (Screenshot attached)
    This customization will add some of the pagination details to the top of the page. Carrying it out requires a PHP Snippet, Custom CSS, and configuring setting.
    2A# Add Snippet –

    add_action('geodir_before_listing', 'geodir_pagination',100);

    2B# Add Custom CSS –

    .Navi.gd-navi {display: initial !important;}

    2C# Settings – Go to GD > Design > Search > Show advanced pagination details choose to show it ‘After’.

    3# ServerAdmin Resource Intensive Override (Caution! Applies to Listing and Search Pages)
    This Member snippet will override WP settings and show lots of listings. It is not recommended but, it works, and should be used with great caution and with the knowledge that is may increase load times or make your server catch fire.

    4# Inform your visitors with custom text using translation
    You can use translation to change text that you see in the GD content areas. Follow the translation instructions at the link to find text strings, and rewrite them to give your users more information about what they are seeing
    https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/translate-core/

    I hope these options get you where you want to go, but if they don’t please write back and let us know what we can do!

    If you have a different question, please feel free to make a new ticket

    Thanks! And write back to let us know how it goes!

    Hi Alex

    Many thanks for making som many helpful suggestions. For the short term, I have taken the easy option and increased the number of blogs to display. No doubt this could have a detrimental effect on my site so long term I will look at implementing one of the other options. When I get this done, I will let you know how I get on.

    Many Thanks
