E.g.

http://example.com/united-state/florida/miami-1/

It shows 5 listings in that city, along with a heading of “Popular Places” with a link on the right to “View All”

Only after clicking on this link “View All” can the user actually sort the results, and see all the listings in that city.

How do I change it so that as soon as you are on the city page, you can see all the listings, as well as be able to sort them, without having to “View All”

From here you go to a specific custom post type e.g. places. This logic doesn’t allow for selecting a location and custom post type in one step. So you are stuck with two steps even if your site only has one custom post type.

There might be ways around it?

Even if you had only 1 CPT, one may want to show other things in the Miami home page other then listings.

Recent reviews, city description (widget for it on his way) and so on are just few examples.

Currently there is no way around this other than customizing the plugin to act differently.

Thx

http://www.yelp.com/c/san-diego/solarinstallation

http://www.yelp.com/search?find_desc=Solar+Companies&find_loc=San+Diego%2C+CA

Which is similar, however, I noticed that when I go to “View All” the URL seems session based, so search engines could never index this page. Is this correct?

If so, then this would mean that search engines would only index the Location page that is designed to show only a little bit of the content (E.g. 5 “Popular Places”)

Seems there are only two possible solutions to helping both users and engines, neither of which seem very feasible:

1. Get the Places page to have a URL thats indexable by search engines, since this is the page with the richer content, all listings, reviews, and better UX

2. Somehow get the “Sort by” filters, all listings, paging, etc… to go on the Location page along with all the listings. This method seems more of a hack, but possibly more feasible than messing with permalinks, but I am not a developer

(p.s. on a side note, where can I modify the content that contains the “Popular Places” block on the Location page?)

Like this: http://wpgeo.directory/attractions or http://wpgeo.directory/attractions/chicago/landmark/ ?

Side note: change your widgets at Appearance > Widgets > GD Home (not sure where you have your Popular places widget for the moment: sidebar, content?)

http://wpgeo.directory/location/united-states/illinois/chicago/

and this page:

http://wpgeo.directory/attractions/chicago/landmark/

So, your “Landmarks” page is different than mine. Yours has a URL, whereas mine does not. When I click the “View All” near “All Places” box, it changes the URL to example.com/places/

I understand that “attractions” portion of the URL represents “Place Categories” and Chicago is a “Place”, but not sure what your “Landmarks” section represents

thanks

Landmark is a category of CPT attraction which is selected via the widget.

If you don’t select any category it will display them all under the CPT page /place in your case.

Let me know if this is still not clear.

Thx

My other part of the question is:

When I am on a URL of a location page,
E.g. /united-states/california/los-angeles,

And I click “View all” to the right of “All Places” to see all Places at that location (a.k.a. city), the url then reads:

example.com/places/

It does not matter what location you just were looking at, the url is generic (using session info to know to display the correct contents).

which means search engines cannot index places “View All” section.

Is this correct? and by design? if so, why is that so?
