    Hi

    Please could anyone confirm, do I have to have the layout shown at http://wpgeo.directory/ as my homepage? Because I’m trying to avoid that. I already have an existing site, so I’d rather create a new page ie something like thehouseofdog.co.uk/accommodationlistings to add this sort of layout to. I’m a bit scared of installing the plugin just in case it wipes my existing homepage out!

    I don’t mind having the layout shown at that link on the thehouseofdog.co.uk/accommodationlistings url, although I’m not actually sure how to use this layout instead of my usual template just on this page?

    Any advice would be great! Smile

    Thanks

    Sally

    Thanks Vikas

    One thing, I can’t seem to find where the alternative page is? I mean with all the geodirectory map, listings and search bars on?

    All I can find is places and location, but these don’t actually appear to be real pages? I tried making a new page and adding the [widget id=”geodir_map_v3_home_map-1″] shortcode I found in the widget, but that doesn’t display anything.

    I can’t seem to find a tutorial or documentation anywhere on this.

    Please can you help?

    Best wishes

    Sally

    Thanks Guust, but won’t changing my homepage to static destroy everything I currently have on the homepage? I don’t want to alter the homepage at all.. at the moment it is set to display latest posts as it’s also a doggie news site? Hence wanting a totally separate page for this directory with just a link to it on the homepage

    What the post says is that your directory page is here:
    http://www.thehouseofdog.co.uk/location/
    and that you can link to it from your home page.
