    Hi, I just created a new post (payroll) that I’d like to be considered as a whole new directory from my current one (brokers) because they’re for different audiences). Do you know how I can separate everything so they don’t show up on each other’s pages?

    A few extra questions:
    1. Do they share the same directory pages? (author etc.)
    2. Both post types are showing on the same login dashboard. Do you know if it’s possible to separate them so they don’t have the same login? (see screenshot showing “Brokers” and “Payroll,” which are my 2 post types)
    3. Any other tips you might have to make sure my directories are totally separate?

    Thank you!

    Hello,

    good question. For profiles I cannot think of a way to do that.

    Location page – use for one CPT only or not at all

    Archives – these can be split, could have a different header/sidebar

    Search – if you remove the CPT select from Search bars, then you could show results on the page without any other indication, but, the search page will be the same for either CPT.

    Details – Can use different header/sidebar

    Hi, I’ve had some time to review your suggestions. Can you explain how I would create 2 separate details and archive pages? Can I just clone the existing details and archive pages? But then how would I have my new CPT connect to those pages?

    And can you explain how the Search page would work for 2 separate CPTs?

    Is there documentation on how to have 2 separate directories?

    Thanks for your help!

    The new template is ‘set’ in the CPT settings.

    On this page it shows the settings for one CPT places, at the bottom of the image it shows where you can choose a new Details or Archive template.

    https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs-v2/places/general/

    The search page returns results for one CPT at a time.

    We do not call it 2 different directories, just, having more than one CPT

    Thanks! I was able to figure out the details page and the archive pages, but you said something earlier about being able to remove the CPT select from search bars. Can you tell me how I can do that? Right now it’s showing the ability to select which CPT to search under, and I don’t think I want to do that.

    Thanks!

    It can only be removed with CSS on the search page.

    https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs-v2/faq/common-examples/#gd_search

    On other pages you can use the shortcode builder to adjust the options

    Thanks! Those tips worked great for me.

    I am having another issue with my new CPT though. When I click on a listing to read more it takes me to a 400 Bad Request page. https://www.bernieportal.com/payroll/united-states/tennessee/nashville-1/%category%/payroll-test/

    Did I not set something up properly to view the listing details?

    Thanks for your help!

    Sometimes changes to settings will effect permalinks and you will need to resave permalinks.

    Please try re-saving permalinks:

    1. Open the settings at: WordPress – Settings – Permalinks

    2. Choose a different setting for your GeoDirectory permalinks, then save.

    3. On reload, switch back to the setting you had before, and save again.

    4. Check the page to see if the issue persists.

    Re-Save the Permalinks by adjusting, saving, then restoring and saving again.

    GeoDirectory uses custom permalinks and when changes are made to plugins or settings, in some cases you may need to re-save the permalinks to apply the new patterns to the URLs for your listings.
