I want the archive page to default layout to a grid layout of my choosing but can’t find that option anywhere. Done searches in the forum but still nothing. How do I change it to default to a grid and also keep people from being able to change the format?

To control the gd loop layout you can take several actions.

First, you can set the value for the layout in the gd_loop shortcode on the archive template.
```
[gd_loop layout="3"]
```
You can then proceed to hide the view select field on the archive page with CSS:
```
.geodir-list-view-select {
    display: none;
}
```
You can also remove some view choices from that select, as shown here:

Hi, I’m having a similar issue.

I am trying to get a two column design on the listing page. I have tried changing theme templates, as well as adjusting the short-code
[gd-loop layout=”2″] variable. However it always displays at full width with only a single column.

Current Short-code output on GD Archive:

[gd_notifications]
[gd_category_description]
[gd_search]
[gd_loop_actions]
[gd_loop layout=”2″]
[gd_loop_paging]

Any ideas?
