I’m a new WP user and I’ve added the Geo directory to a child theme of Customizr. It seems to have installed okay, but I’m not sure how to begin working with the sample files. I tried to create a new category, but it didn’t show up anywhere that I could find. What I want to do is create a page that will list some farms with a map on the top and two search buttons, one to search for location and one to search by name. Can you tell me how view the listings on the menu and create a new page with a new category?

once you create the new category, a virtual page is created for it.

Example if you create a new category for Places, let’s say Farms, it will appear when visiting the following URL:

yoursite.com/places/farms

You can add a link to the menu in WordPress dashboard via

Appearance >> Menus.

If you click on screen option (top right) you will see all GD elements that can be added to your custom menu.

To add a map to the top of your category page, go to

Appearance >> Widgets

Now simply add the “GD > GMap – Listing page” widget to the “GD Listing Top Section” widget area. Set width and height and make sure Map Sticky(should stick to the right of screen) ? is disabled.

The same you can do for the search by adding the GD > Search widget above or below the Map.

Let us know if you still have issues.

Thanks,

Difficul to help on assumptions…

the directory is installed and running and looks perfectly compatible with your theme.

just visit this page: youriste.com/location/

The only reason why icons are not showing in the map is because somehow dummy categories icons are missing.

I’ve created a new category test and you can see it here:

yoursite.com/wp-admin/edit-tags.php?taxonomy=gd_placecategory&post_type=gd_place

Thanks

to work with a greater area you will need to install the multilocation addon.

To get the icons back, I’d delete dummy data and re-upload it. Something probably went wrong while downloading them from our server.

Thx
