Hi Wilson & Mark,

1. should a listing have more than one category assigned to it?

Yes, you can assign more then one categories to the listing.

2. if a category assigned to a listing is not on the 5 popular categories listed on the homepage is that a good idea to do for any reason? In other words a pizzeria that is also a restaurant – should it have FOOD as main popular assigned home page category but also have pizza and restaurant as 2 additional categories assigned to it? Is there a reason to create more sub categories or should we just clean up all the categories and have each listing fall under one of the 5 main home page categories?

It depends on you whether you want sub-categories or not. If you don’t want to use sub-categories then first un-assign those subcategories from listings and once all sub-categories found un-assigned form listings you can cleanup those sub-categories.
BTW you can edit no of categories displayed in Popular Categories under home page featured area. In file /wp-content/themes/supreme-directory/inc/geodirectory-compatibility.php there is a shortcode

[gd_popular_post_category category_limit=5 category_restrict=1]

, you can increase/decrease value for category_limit here.

Thanks,

Hi,

As far as the main image in the place listing can we change that at all or does the listing always have to have one large image?

Main image(featured image) is used within entire site for that listing. Rest of images are used in image gallery or slide show for that listing. So you can upload main image that fit to your template design.

Sometimes it is blurry – what is the best size for that image if it has to stay there and we must use it?

This depends on your template design, but recommended size for the image is 780×330.

Also, any way to add a video section in the front of the homepage or listings page since we had videos there before and customers paying for that spot?

You can create Videos category and add listings under this category. Via widget you can displays this video listings at front end. Is this same that you talking about?

If the directory is only for CT or NY what should the map settings be then?

Go to GeoDirectory > Multilocations > Enable selected regions settings and select CT & NY from the list and save.
