    Hi – can you please write out the widget changes from GT to GD?

    Here are some I use now – how do we accomplish the same in GD?
    1) In the Neighborhood
    2) Footer RSS feed
    3) Footer Latest news
    4) Different sidebars/widgets for Places vs Events? Mine are very different…

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    1) We never created that for GD, it was too heavy in queeries and was a bottleneck for page loading time.

    2) Any rss feed plugin available on wordpress

    3) That’s a normal WP widget. Latest posts or you can use one of the many plugin available on wordpress.org for that.

    4) you can use widget logic with this as logics:

    places: ‘gd_place’ == get_post_type()
    events: ‘gd_event’ == get_post_type()

    Thanks

    Thank you…wasn’t subscribed to replies.

    It seems there’s a lot less focus on places/events in this plug in vs. GT. Nearby locations is gone. The link between events/places gone in conversion. The Event Venue is a tiny little link anyway…

    Can you explain this more? I don’t understand how to get different widgets on a place vs an event. There seems to be only sidebar for all GD listings?

    Hi,

    you can use this plugin called widget logic: https://wordpress.org/plugins/widget-logic/

    It adds a field in each widget, where you can add a condition to tell if the widget should appear or not.

    Adding:

    'gd_place' == get_post_type()

    to that field, will tell the widget to appear only when visiting the Places listings page. While adding

    'gd_event' == get_post_type()

    , will tell the widget to appear only when visiting the Events listings page.

    Thanks

    For anything that you feel it is missing in GD compared to GT, please add feature requests here: https://wpgeodirectory.com/requests/

    If many other members will vote for your ideas, we will definitely consider them.

    Thanks

    OK. I’ll save the widget info for when the conversion tool is fixed (????!!!!!??????).

    The feature request is useless. Any new request will go on page 7 of requests. No one is scrolling that far to vote. You’ll have to start implementing or removing some of the features already voted on to make the list useful from this point forward.
