    Hi, I have started using the homepage map on my /location page.

    When I search a location ‘Lincoln’ for example it does not show all listings in that area, or any at all in some situations.

    This should clarify the location search:
    https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/gd-search/#near
    https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/search-filters-overview/#near

    You can search for listings AROUND THE CENTER of Lincoln or listings IN Lincoln.

    Thanks

    OK so now i’m really confused, what search bar do people use to search the homepage map without it moving to the search page?

    Does the fact i don’t have it set as my WP front page affect it’s function?

    All search results will always be presented on the search page.
    But the NEAR field can be used to search IN a location that is in the database (like a city or region), or NEAR the calculated geolocation of a landmark or the center of a city.

    If you get no results when searching near the center of Lincoln, you can change the search radius.

    If you post your WP admin details I will be able to show you the difference between a NEAR and an IN search.

    Thanks

    I understand that part and my search and listings pages work fine.

    I’m referring to the location page and the gd homepage map.

    How do people display a location on that?

    Does it have it’s own search bar or do the need to do the url them self.

    I can’t get it working is all, I search ‘Lincoln’ where is says title and it says I have no vets or days out and only 2 petshops for example.

    I know that’s wrong, or is that search ‘in’ and not ‘near?’

    I found the location switcher and that works fine for Lincolnshire/Orkney but when I search other areas it shows as no categories.

    Hi Amy,

    Thanks for your reply. Could you elaborate a little bit more? Perhaps you can list the steps to replicate it?

    Thanks!

    I enter Nottingham as the location on the Locaction switcher and it returns no listing found (I know there is.)

    The listing/search page work fine, it’s the location page with the homepage map that shows no results

    If I enter Lincoln or Lincolnshire it shows everything in that area. It’s strange and only happens on the homepage map.

    I tried Nottinghamshire Nottingham and Derbyshire (then gave up as it’s clearly not working correctly)

    Thanks for the reply.

    Do I need to keep that new page or can I now delete it?
