    Hello, I need some informations about GeoDirectory.
    I install GD and all addons that I need on my website (under construction) but I do not have a search result page like I want.
    1) I read that Sort By options can’t be view on WP pages but only in CPT pages, this is real?
    2) I have 2 pages: a CPT page, named “Hotel-1”, where I view all my places, divided by category, and a WP page, named “Hotel”, that do the same thing with shortcode on page; my problems are that in “Hotel-1” page I can’t view search bar like in “Hotel” page and in “Hotel” page I can’t insert Sort By options like in “Hotel-1” page: how can I solve?
    3) My Sort By options labels are very little (91px X 28px): can I customize them (i.e. 150px X 28px)?
    4) in my “Hotel-1” page I view only 10 result per page: how can I view 12?
    5) I would like to get Sort By option default on “distance” AND “featured”, is it possible or just for one of it?
    If You want to see what I explain I send You my WP admin user and password to login in my website.
    Thanks in advance for Your support.

    You are using GDV1. You should really start your site with GDV2. It is much improved!

    1) I read that Sort By options can’t be view on WP pages but only in CPT pages, this is real?

    Yes, sorting options in the CPT settings applies to the archive pages only.

    2) I have 2 pages: a CPT page, named “Hotel-1”, where I view all my places, divided by category, and a WP page, named “Hotel”, that do the same thing with shortcode on page; my problems are that in “Hotel-1” page I can’t view search bar like in “Hotel” page and in “Hotel” page I can’t insert Sort By options like in “Hotel-1” page: how can I solve?

    Hotel-1 is an archive page like /places/ ? Then add a search widget to the listing page sidebar (GD Listings Sidebar, top, etc).
    https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/layout/

    On a WP Page you can use a shortcode and each shortcode has basic sorting options.

    3) My Sort By options labels are very little (91px X 28px): can I customize them (i.e. 150px X 28px)?

    Share the URL of the page and we can see if we can help with that. You might want to start a new topic for that specific issue.

    4) in my “Hotel-1” page I view only 10 result per page: how can I view 12?

    You can adjust this in WP settings – WP – Settings – Reading – Posts per page

    5) I would like to get Sort By option default on “distance” AND “featured”, is it possible or just for one of it?

    Distance is the default sort on Near search results. If the search is not a Near search, then there is no distance to be sorted. Featured can be set as the default sort in sorting options, but, near searches are always sorted by distance.

    Hello Alex, thanks for Your answers.
    I just start with GDV2 but some plugins like Advanced Search and Custom Post Type do not works on installation, make a white blank page on my backend..so I decided to install GDV1.
    So if I create an archive page like “places”, or “event”, I add a search bar on it? I just add it like widget in sidebars or on top of results too?
    I add a shortcode in my WP page but sorting options dropdown do not appear.
    So if I set “featured” default sorting options my results will be always sorted by distance too, right?
    Thanks for Your support.

    Hi Vincenzo Pezzella,

    Thanks for your reply. GDV2 supports Advanced Search and Custom Post Type Addon as mentioned here https://wpgeodirectory.com/try-geodirectory-v2/ . Maybe you did not install the correct version of the plugin?

    Hello Kor, I install the only plugins version that I found for GDV2.
    There are more versions of GDV2 plugins?
