    When searching the directory and not specifying a location it shows all listings. Which is good. However, the map shows the entire world and this looks messy. I would like the map to zoom into London city centre as a default when no location is specified. Can you please advise how I can do this?

    Hello!

    On the search page, the map will always show all the listings shown on the search results, by design, and there isn’t a way to change it except to use the features of GeoDirectory to hide categories or CPTs from the map. These settings are at:

    GeoDirectory – Design – Map

    You can also manually adjust the zoom on that Search Map widget but we recommend leaving it on autozoom.

    Thank you for the reply. I like that it lists them all but the map is too far zoomed out. It is showing the entire world. I would like the map to auto zoom to london and then the user can zoom out if they wish. Can I set the map to show London?

    The search map (and all maps) respond to the listings on page. The map is automatically centered based on the listings on the page.

    If the shortcode you use only calls up listings in London, then the map would center there.

    Thank you but the listings are all over the world. Is there a way I can set the map to just show London?

    I have attached the problem, even if it zooms in more so the grey space goes that would be okay,

    If you want the map to only show London then the site should only have listings in London because the map will always center on the ‘center’ of the listings shown on the page.

    If the site’s default location is set to London there are options to redirect users from the directory home page to the default location page, these settings are under:

    GeoDirectory – Advanced Search – REDIRECT SETTINGS ON FIRST TIME LOAD

    The Supreme theme’s map is set in code, and zoom must be adjusted inside the theme files. See “Change Supreme Directory Listing Page Map Properties” on this page:
    https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/faqs/what-are-some-common-changes-for-the-listings-page-for-the-supreme-directory-theme/

    You could change the zoom that way.
