How can I get the location switcher to show in the menu like is on the demo at http://wpgeo.directory/? I have checked it in the MAIN NAVIGATION SETTINGS of the MultiLocations page. However, it still does not appear. I changed between List drilled-down Regions, Cities and List all Countries, Regions, Cities, but neither made a difference.I have also deactivated all plugins except the GeoDirectory plugins. Still no difference.

My site is located here:

Thanks,
Mike

You might need to create a custom menu and specify that GD uses that menu.

Using the Avada theme with the GD Avada Child theme I can’t get the location switcher to appear either. There isn’t a setting in menus to allow you to designate a menu to GD. I can’t find a way of allowing users to choose a location at all!

OK, I was looking in Appearance>Menu for a way to assign a menu to GD. I’ve since realised it’s under GD>Design>Navigation, and now the local switcher appears in the menu.

Exactly, you need first to create a menu in Appeareance/Menu and then in Geodirectory/Design/Navigation you should assign it.

Thanks KWH. That’s exactly what I was looking for.

More for interest, but can the multilocation function be added to a widget as opposed to being in the menu bar? It’s just I would like to put this function else where on the site

It can goakes, you need to put the following in functions.php to allow shortcodes to be used in text-widgets:
```
add_filter('widget_text', 'do_shortcode');
```
Then just create a text-widget with the following shortcode:
```
[geodir_location_tab_switcher autoredirect="1"]
```
enjoy 🙂

Me again

Not sure if a coincidence, some time after adding this, I noticed I was unable to update the details for a listing. I then noticed when I selected the geodirectory Design tab that I just get white space. This does not happen on any of the other tabs.

Any ideas what could be wrong?

I have removed the location widget.
