I would like to modify the detail page to reflect the design in the attached screenshot and I just need to guidance if possible on how best to go about this.

It’s probably best to take one step at a time so starting with the about section which is the information part from the listing. What is the best way to move that into the main content area? and to the right of the image gallery?

Following that, as you can see, I would like the additional information from the listing to be displayed to the right of information. For some reason, The extra information and custom fields that I created are not showing up in the sidebar, nor is any of the contact information. Could I be missing a setting somewhere?

My understanding is that all of the positioning works around hooks (which I am not really familiar with using yet) is this the best approach to moving the various elements around?

I have copied all the template files into my child theme but not clear if editing these alone is sufficient for what I need but I also understand that if I make changes to the templates in the plugin directory, any updates will overwrite my changes?

Many thanks

Mike

It was actually designed by my wife. I’ll be happy when it’s been transformed from an image into a working site!

I’ll pass on your positive comment though and hope this thread can help others as well 🙂

Cheers

it is indeed a nice design and given that you will needs few functions to create it, it is considered a customization.

Therer are several posts already on the forum discussing how to move elements around with hooks and filter.

Just search for “remove_action” and you will find plenty of exmaple that could be useful for what you want to do.

I’m 99% sure that you could accomplish that , without having to move anything in your child theme. Just functions in your child theme functions.php file.

The only support question here is why your custom fields are not showing up and for that we would need a link and wp admin credentials.

Let us know,

Thanks

Thanks for the reply and comment on the design 🙂 Sent message and will look at other posts around the topic of moving elements. Am a bit new to hooks and filters but need to get my head around them 🙂

The support policy is linked in the sidebar of every page:
https://wpgeodirectory.com/support-policy/

Scroll down a bit to see what the difference is between support and customization.

Thanks for the reply and checking out the site. With regards to the conflict, I have the Genesis compatibility plugin installed, is this not meant to deal with theme related issues?

If everything is configured correctly in the Geodirectory settings then I will go through and try disabling plugins. So are there some widget areas missing as well as I thought there should be more for the details page?

Thanks for the url relating to support. I am a bit confused though as I have seen other examples of the developers giving specific advice and code snippets to people who want to do very similar things to what I am trying to achieve. Here is a perfect example thread:

https://wpgeodirectory.com/support/topic/details-page-how-to-move-rating-stars-from-sidebar-to-content-area/

I would also offer the hopefully constructive criticism that if it is policy not to provide assistance then the developer documentation needs to be much more comprehensive and complete

The widget area is showing, it is called GD Detail Sidebar, but it is not showing on the frontend.
Let’s wait for Paolo, he understands Genesis better than me.

Point taken and I do understand that people can’t expect to essentially have a theme completely customised for them for free which is what I want. just pointers in the right direction 🙂 because as I said the documentation is not great at the moment (although I understand this is a new product and that will grow over time) so even once you have got your head around hooks, actions and filters etc, it is a bit difficult to be self sufficient without knowing which hooks and orders of preference etc you should be targeting.

Unless there is documentation for this somewhere that I am missing? In which case I will be more than happy to go and read it and learn how to do what I need 🙂

Thanks again with regards to the sidebar issue, knowing that it is at least not a configuration issue within the plugin then I can look at disabling plugins and any further thoughts Paolo can give regarding Genesis would be much appreciated 🙂

Cheers

Mike
