    Hi,

    In trying to reduce the prominence of the map, I managed to turn it off. I also somehow added a second, unnecessary set of search windows identical to the ones on the home page. (Right below the first ones if you scroll down).

    I would like to, if possible, delete that second set of search windows and turn the map back on but just have it be one of those windows you can click on in the detailed version of the listings:
    Profile/Map/Related Views, etc.

    I basically want people to input the name of a place, and go right there, since I am only using one category of place. I’m trying to get as simple-looking of an interface as needed; no extra icons, categories, etc. I want people to focus on the reviews. I tried and failed to get rid of “popular categories” completely; it shows up after you search for a place.

    Also I don’t think I need a location page because I already have the home page; can I remove it?

    Thank you for all your help; I’m a happy customer but very new to WordPress.

    ps: I”m intentionally using the Open Street Map option.

    Hello,

    In trying to reduce the prominence of the map, I managed to turn it off. I also somehow added a second, unnecessary set of search windows identical to the ones on the home page. (Right below the first ones if you scroll down).

    I would like to, if possible, delete that second set of search windows and turn the map back on but just have it be one of those windows you can click on in the detailed version of the listings:
    Profile/Map/Related Views, etc.

    Maps on Home, Listing, and Location pages are controlled with Widgets, unless you are using Supreme in which case it is built into the theme and cannot be turned off. If you want to tun it back on, add the Hoe Map Widget to a Hoe widget area or a Listing map to a Listing or Search widget area. If you have disabled the map or categories you might need to enable them in GeoDirectory – Design – Map

    I basically want people to input the name of a place, and go right there, since I am only using one category of place. I’m trying to get as simple-looking of an interface as needed; no extra icons, categories, etc. I want people to focus on the reviews. I tried and failed to get rid of “popular categories” completely; it shows up after you search for a place.

    To hide popular categories see: https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/faqs/how-do-i-remove-the-popular-categories-section-from-the-home-page/
    To hide search fields try: https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/common-styling-examples/#search-field

    Also I don’t think I need a location page because I already have the home page; can I remove it?

    The Location pages cannot be turned off; perhaps just don’t create additional links to them.

    If there are specifics here, we would be happy to check your settings. It often works best to try these one at a time. Feel free to make a private reply with your site URL and admin credentials. Tell us which issues you still need help with and we will keep at it until you get where you want to go.
