    Have another look at https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/search-filters-overview/#near
    See also image.

    You can delete that test page I set up.

    What type of hosting do you have? It seems to struggle a bit.

    I just noticed you activated near and in on the location switcher. I like the fact you can switch between cpt’s and it saves the location entered.

    Only down side is if a city has several names inside it and the location addresses are those other areas the listings don’t show on the in-city search even though they are part of that city.

    I could merge locations but that would need to be done for the entire country. either that or change all addresses.

    Is it possible to still use the ‘in’ location and have it search an area from that location rather thn just whats in that area.

    That is not possible, but it can search regions.

    Thanks

    I saw that, the part I like the most about it is that you can change cpt’s and it saves the search ‘in’ location.

    If i enter nottingham it saves that search while switching cpt’s, can that be done with postcode searches and near searches?

    Would be very handy as it saves people searching location every time.

    Thanks.

    IN search is only for locations in your database, like cities and regions, not for postcode searches.
    Postcode searches are searches NEAR THE CENTER of the postcode area.

    Thanks

    Yes, what I’m saying is when I use the ‘in’ I’m able to change cpt and it keeps that location in the search field.

    When I search a postcode or a location in ‘near’ and change cpt I have to enter the location in near again as it resets the search.

    Can I make it so it saves the search in ‘near’ when I change cpt the way it does when I select ‘in’ as that would be very useful.

    Thanks for all your help.

    Only IN searches can “lock in” a location, because those locations come from the database.
    NEAR THE CENTER searches do not use locations in your database but are based on latitude and longitude of the geolocation, and therefore cannot be “locked in”.

    Let me know if that’s not clear.
    Thanks

    OK thanks, that’s cleared that up for me now.

    Thanks again for all your help.
