    HI Guys
    I’m having a lot of difficulty with V2 and I sold a directory based on understanding how the old version worked. I want to build in the old version until the kinks get worked out.
    How long will the original plugin and addons be supported?

    I want to help you test and move to V2 but it isn’t proving simpler to use yet, and it took me long enough to learn v1 that it’s counter productive to move to it yet.

    Sorry to say that, but I gave it the old college try and found too many frustrations until the kinks get worked out.

    Hi Mark,

    more than kinks to be worked out, I think it’s a matter of understanding how things are done with V2 as opposed to V1.

    If you list what’s stopping you from updating, we can probably help you overcome them all.

    Otherwise, we’ll provide maintenance and security patches for V1 till the end of the year at least.

    Thanks

    Hi Mark,

    GDV2 uses elements that are available as shortcodes, widgets, or gutenberg blocks.

    As an example, if one is editing a page with the classic editor, choose the shortcode editor button and configure the options.

    As another example, use the gutenberg block editor and choose a GD Map block. Click the block and view the properties to see all the settings.

    No matter which one is used, block, widget, or shortcode, in each one the options are visible along with some explanation of what the options do.

    Map zoom level is also one of the options. If the shortcode is already there, then open a shortcode builder and replace that shortcode with a new one that has the options you want.

    A good place to start is by reading through 2 or three of the doc pages that can give you an overview:
    https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs-v2/geodirectory/getting-started/
    https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs-v2/geodirectory/personalize/ (video!)
    https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs-v2/geodirectory/page-design/

    SiteOrigin has an option to add widget inside the page. Do that. When you do all the options will be right there in front of you. If there aren’t write back with WP Admin and we will fix it.

    We have some builder notes here: https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs-v2/integrations/builders/

    I will read all the new documentation etc. Just on a deadline this weekend.

    Do you have any ideas why the extensions are generating errors?

    Do I need to manually load them from the Geodirectory members area?

    Post your URL and WP admin and we will have a look.
    If you added your membership license at
    GD > Extensions > Membership tab,
    then you should be able to add the addons from
    GD > Extensions > Addons tab

    Do you have previous versions installed?
    You can also delete any old ones using FTP and then upload the new ones. Make sure to delete first if you do it that way.

    Yes I actually deactivated the license. Re entered the license and re activated it. Thought that might burp it.

    I’ll send login
