I’d like to remove two categories that I don’t need. How do I do this? I don’t want to remove the entire category section and I’d like like to keep these categories/places, but not have them show up anywhere.

Thanks,
Cathy

if you simply want to hide from the entire site, make sure there are no links pointing to them. Now I’d have to have a look at your site to tell you where to remove eventual links, because I don’t know where they appear.

If you reply privately with a link I’ll have a look.

Thanks,

Since you do not have any listings in the two categories you’d like to delete, you can just delete them.
Assuming you have not renamed “Places”: In the left hand menu of your WP admin go to “Places” > “Place categories” and delete the two categories that you don’t need anymore (or rename them to what you want).
If you just want to remove the empty categories from how they show above your map, then delete the “Popular post category” widget from your pages.

I did it on your website and it looks sleek. You can add it back anytime.

I also closed comments for each individual listing you already had in the database and closed them for future lisings.

Just so that you know how I did it:

Go to places, select all (checkbox next to Title) >> Bulk Action select edit and Apply. Where it says comments select >> Do Not Allow

Now I need to close comments for future listings and I did it in WordPress Settings >> Discussion >> Untick “Allow people to post comments on new articles”.

Last I added some css to hide elements related to reviews.



#geodir_wrapper dl.geodir-tab-head dd:last-child {
    display: none;
}

#geodir_wrapper dl.geodir-tab-head dd:nth-child(6){
    border-right: 1px solid #E1E1E1;
    }

a.geodir-pcomments {
    display: none !important;
}

						Paolo, your changes really helped. I have no idea how you changed the CSS, but I will learn once strawberry season is over! Now that the popular categories are gone, there is a box on the far right that says ‘Title or Keyword’. Since I only have one category, I’d like that to have four options: Strawberries, Raspberries, Blueberries, and Other berries. I set each of these up as a tag. I’d like people to be able to search for those key words.


I was wondering if I did this incorrectly. Should I have renamed “Places” as “Berry Farms” and then have my categories as the different type of berrries? Ideally if someone wants to pick raspberries they should be able to select those farms that grow them and then find the one closest to them.


Sorry to add extra work.


Cathy

						CSS I added it to GeoDirectory >> Design >> Script


I’d create subcategories instead of Tabs… it would make it a lot easier… and if I may suggest given that I love berries and I’m 100% a potential visitor of your website to actially use berries icons instead of map markers.


You should try to find something like that.

This way your map will display the 4 icons rappresenting your berries instead of just the 1 category and your directory would be better categorized and browsable….


The title and view all bar ther cannot be made full width as your theme container will not allow it.


Thx

						Paolo:

I hear what you’re saying. I do have a ‘farm’ pin that my sister designed for me– can I bulk upload? I was going to wait until later to add because this list needs to be done yesterday. The issue with your suggestion is that many farms grow and sell more than one type of berry. Would this still work with sub categories. How do I make them? (I assume you meant ‘tag’ instead of ‘tab’. I set the berries up as tags.)


Thanks,

Cathy
