    Hello GD Support,

    I have several questions, which I can break out into several support questions if you prefer.

    1. I want to build a sample home page that only uses the GD home page map and search at the top, but with other elements in the main content section, right sidebar and footer. Is it best to add widgets to the GD home page sections or set another (Avada) page as the home page and add the GD home page map widget to the top?

    2. How can I customize the listings pages with additional text above the listings and images or sliders?

    3. Can the listings pages be added to the menu?

    4. When and how is the location page used? Can it also have other elements added to it?

    5. When and where is the location description used?

    6. What is location neighborhood and how and when is it used?

    Those are enough questions to get me in trouble for now. 🙂 Thanks for your help.

    Hello again,

    Please ignore questions #2 and #3, which you answered previously for me.

    Thanks!

    After doing more poking around:

    Re question #1:
    How would I set a non-GD page, an (Avada) portfolio page, as the home page and add the GD main main map and search at the top?

    Thanks again!

    Hello Marsha, you can se the homepage using WordPress (Settings/Reading) then in Geodirectory/Design untick “Geodirectory home page”.
    Then in the page you decided to use as homepage, you can use shortcodes to display map and search in your case [gd_homepage_map] and gd_advanced_search] ,more info here http://docs.wpgeodirectory.com/core-shortcodes/ ).
    If your theme has already a widget area at the top, you can use he GD widgets

    Thanks, Simone. I guessed it was something like that. 🙂

    Can you educate me on these questions also:

    4. When and how is the location page used? Can it also have other elements added to it?

    5. When and where is the location description used?

    6. What is location neighborhood and how and when is it used?

    Thanks for your kind help.

    Hi Marsha,

    4- The location (virtual) page will show the listings based on the location (it could be “Everywhere” or any other selected city). You can add widgets in the GD Listings sidebar and top area.

    5- Location description is displayed if you add the GD > Location Description widget

    6- Location Neighborhood will show a list of neighborhoods for that location
