    Hi, sorry to ask what may seem another stupid question, but I’m trying to sort our my Featured listings, and apart from the complications of having edit the package separate to adding the package_id to the category afterwards (if I understand correctly), I find things in the instructions that don’t appear to be in my advanced settings
    Specifically in https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs-v2/places/packages/ it states that packages can be set to appear only on specific price packages, but I don’t have that particular check box.
    Please see attached images to see what I’m talking about.

    It states that CUSTOM FIELDS [not packages] can be set to appear only on specific price packages, and you need to look at the CUSTOM FIELDS settings for that.

    Look for the Custom field tab, to the left of the packages tab.
    Then “open” any of the fields and select “show advanced” to find the packages setting for the custom field.

    Let us know.

    Ok, this is a bit frustrating, and I’m probably going about things the wrong way. I want to show phone numbers and emails and website only on Featured and premium listings, but cannot work out how to show details on one package type but not all of them.
    Please advise, the documentation really isn’t clear to me at all.

    Visit each package in turn, show advanced settings, and select each field you want excluded.

    Thanks, that sounds really easy, except there is no option to exclude anything but Business Hours, Special Offers, Featured and Images…

    That sounds very much like any other custom field has been set to inactive.
    There are 2 ways to include/exclude fields per package: from the package or from the custom field.
    Make sure the field is active, see image.
    If we need to check your settings, please post your URL and WP admin details in a private reply.
    Thanks

    Now that you have full access, please have a look at https://clarensnews.co.za/guesthouses/south-africa-1/free-state-1/clarens-1/bb-2/278-on-main/ if you go into edit, there is no MARK LISTING AS FEATURED option. You mentioned that you were finding options in some listings but not others, this is another discrep…

    And now I can’t add listings, it pops up an invalid package settings (cheating huh?) warning… Is this something I have done or are you working on settings?

    My apologies, just made packages custom field active, and able to add again. Sadly I still can’t find a SHOW ONLY ON THESE PRICE PACKAGES option box for phone or email, which has been an issue for a while now…

    I’m sorry, has there been any development on this? Still just trying to set phone and email to show on specific price packages, no hugely complicated thing I hope. Just that it’s the only difference between paid and free listings on my site, and I am trying to get people to buy in…
