    Thag is not possible just with GD, but maybe can be achieved with a third party plugin.

    What kind of plug in would do the trick? Can you recommend something?

    Many thanks

    Came across this – don’t have time to test it, but it may be worth a look?

    Selected to limit gd_post s tried a few different user types but still allows to post more than the limit I have set.

    It could be working and I might be doing something wrong but cant get it right just yet.

    I am assuming you will need to specify the post-type, and if you do, you will need to make sure it matches exactly e.g.: gd_place?

    hey John, I tried but still nothing.

    I might found out why though, sorry I am new to WP or coding so not sure if I understand it correctly.

    Here the developer talks about how to use it on front end forms:
    https://wordpress.org/plugins/bainternet-posts-creation-limits/faq/
    https://wordpress.org/support/topic/user-frontend-limit?replies=6

    Is the Geodirectory add listing page would be classed as a frontend form?

    If yes than I should add a code to the front end, something like this:

    [IN_LIMIT type=”CUSTOM_POST_TYPE_NAME”][wpuf_form id = “X”][/IN_LIMIT]

    where custom-post_type_name is gd_place and the second half [wpuf_form id = “X”] is a shortcode for adding a listing?

    What do you think?

    What will stop a user registering another user account and submitting another listing?

    I am thinking of attempting something like this on a personal project i am building.
    I want to restrict posting events to people who have paid for a place listing (free place users can’t post events)
    My initial thoughts are to maybe try and integrate Restrict Content Pro, and give paid members a different user role – then use RCP to stop free users adding events……?

    If i decide i need to do it (and manage to implement it) i will post my solution 🙂
