    Having moved from a different directory platform where the package comparison page was a built-in standard feature, I understand I have to create my own.

    I gather that this is being considered for Geo, it could integrate the various package settings so they surface on the packages page.

    Meanwhile I need to create this page fast. I tried ‘Premium Blocks for Gutenberg’ but I can to a dead end when that seems to want to create just two packages.

    Can anyone recommend the simplest way I can do this, is there a favourite plugin for this.. hopefully as a temporary measure while the Geodirectory version is being developed 🙂

    Hi Matthew,

    Thanks for your post. Have you gone through the instructions here? https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs-v2/addons/compare-listings/#intro .

    Hi Kor, thanks is that only comparing listings (places) as I had presumed. Or does it also allow the advertising packages that I am offering to be compared also?

    So offer 3 packages, Free, Enhanced, and Premium and I need to show what the advertiser gets in some kind of page.

    The attached is roughly the kind of thing I need. But if Geo does this I won’t need to make a page manually, just trying to clarify this as I was surprised (perhaps mis informed) to hear I would have to make my own.

    Hi Matthew,

    Thanks for your reply. You can create the price table manually using 3rd party plugins and insert it into a page. Have you given it a try?

    I have tried, but it order to do this properly I will need to make a spreadsheet of the different package specs, and then craft the comparison page from that, and having to then ensure that any changes to package spec are referenced on the new page.

    This should really be built-in or a paid Geo – add-on

    If it was I could then tweak the package specs and see the changes live on the Package Comparison page. This is how it worked on the previous software I had used.

    It is not a feature of GD. If you need help to create it you can contact an expert here:

    I have created one now after trying a few plugins. It took a few hours. But I wasn’t expecting to have to invest my time in creating this.

    This feature is missing from Geo, which as I say was a surprise, so I would recommend this as a future add-on.
