    This has been dragging on for months and we can’t seem to get any answers. Two files are attached. The first is new error messages; the second is what we see on every single page or post we edit. Earlier we followed the instructions to downgrade and that resulted in losing our entire directory and we were left with only short codes showing on the home page for the directory.

    We have invested hundreds of hours in creating our Business Directory and we really appreciate any help from anyone.

    Hi ajijictoday,

    Thanks for your post. If you wish to remain in v1, you can safely downgrade. To upgrade, you can follow the instructions here https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs-v2/geodirectory/upgrade-from-gdv1/ . Let us know how it goes.

    After the most recent update the map is not showing correctly. I don’t know where to report this.

    Now we are really confused! For the longest time we had all kinds of serious errors showing up but we thought you had fixed that. Now we are trying to add the same category list that was previously showing on the bottom right of the map but it now appears that none of the short codes are working anymore. All we see on the directory home page are the short codes we are trying to use but they do nothing.

    Another concern is that we appear to have lost our dashboard. Before we saw the standard options such design, set default location and so on, but now none of those options are showing. We are only seeing something completely new that we don’t understand.

    We were just about to start promoting our Business Directory but now everything is on hold.

    Appreciate your help.

    As Kiran said he upgraded feom V1 to V2, the user interface is a bit different, but you’ll be able to do everything you could do with v1 and more. Just need to grt used to it. A developer will che lck what the prpblem is with your map asap.

    Thanks for your patience

    The map seems to be working fine here: https://ajijictoday.com.mx/business-directory/

    I see there is a popular post shortcode showing, that is no longer available with GDV2.

    I replaced it with the GD Categories element.

    Please let us know if you run into any more issue.

    As always before we bother you fine folks we research the issues on your website to death. Is the documentation and help on the site only related to the previous version that we had? Are the short codes different now? The dashboard we have now doesn’t show any of the previous options we had before.

    We were just trying to get back what we had before which was a complete drop down category list showing in the bottom right of the map. What has been added now below the map is just the parent categories with no drop downs showing all the categories and even the numbers aren’t correct. They show like 2 and there’s more than 20. ??

    We also tried creating widgets to show the GD categories but they didn’t work either. It appeared that only the GD Search widget worked. Are all the widgets that were shown for the previous version also changed now?

    Appreciate your help,

    Hello,

    All the documentation for GDV2 is here:
    https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs-v2/

    You can use the shortcode builder described here to add more or less option to GD Categories.

    https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs-v2/geodirectory/shortcode-builder/

    Most of the shortcodes for GDV2 have changed, yes.
