I see that, a change location item is added to the main menu if I select that from Geodirectory settings. The theme I use right now displays the main menu slightly different and the item doesn’t show.

Is it possible, via functions, or something like that to display it somewhere else? Let’s say in my site header?

Thank you.

hi,

you can add it anywhere via shortcode: https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/location-manager-shortcodes/

Let us know how you went,

Thanks

Tried the shortcode in a post and with do_shortcode to add it in the header( layers uses action hooks and stuff) and it looks like this http://goo.gl/4B9BN7

Despite the fact it doesn’t work, conflicting maybe with something… I was hoping to get the link as in the menu so I could click on it and get the dropdown.

That is not possible, the shortcode isn’t a menu item. Why don’t you add it as a menu item to the top menu where you have this links?

Well I thinked of something, on how to do it. First of all I was using the wrong shortcode. Needed this one [gd_location_tab_switcher] and used the other one.

I want to keep it on the ehader, not the top menu because the header sticks to the top on scrolling and it will be always visible to the user. A while ago I found a tutorial on how to make a link with popup but I forgot the link 🙁

I didn’t managed to make a pop-up or a dropdown that worked but I added another menu position after the site logo. Unfortunatelly checked GD settings and I only have the option to show location switcher in the main menu only.

The location switcher can be added to any menu you select at GD > design > navigation.

I noticed only Main Navigation Settings > Show location switcher in menu

Used your suggestion added that to the menu. Right now, on the newly addeed menu I don’t have dropdowns working but after fixing those, everything should be ok, I guess.

Thanks.
