    I purchased the Membership and I am thoroughly enjoying the frustration as I have no idea what I am doing. Please bare with me as I am learning as I go along through your support forum.

    I have added Widgets to the GD Sidebar on the Location page (Supreme Directory) without any issues.

    I am trying to add Widgets to the GD Sidebar as explained in the tutorial videos. Specifically, I am trying to add Output Location and Distance To Post on the Listing Details page. I selected Show On Selected Pages and then selected Listing Details Page. During the preview when clicking on the listing it does not show a sidebar at all. What am I doing wrong? How can I get it where I need it to be?

    I am trying to remove the footer on the GD pages. Again following the steps that I could find on the Support Forum, but again this is not working. What am I missing?

    If possible, can I change the colour of the Menu (Main Menu) on Listing Details page and other GD pages in the same way that I have made it transparent on the Location page?

    Would you please assist?

    1. I changed this setting:
    GD > Settings > Design tab> Details sub-tab > Page template file override > AUTO

    2. Not sure what you are trying to achieve. But to remove the footer
    * activate the footer snippet you created
    * and change 

    echo '© '. date("Y").' My website. All Rights Reserved.';

    to

    echo '';

    https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs-v2/themes/directory-starter/#footer

    3. I added some CSS at Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS.
    Is that what you mean?

    How and where do I edit the below (attached)?

    Please check the attachment, the Profile Pic? The icons and links, ideally looking to add Instagram, LinkedIn and WhatsApp for instance?

    Change profile image on your profile page, see image.

    If you want to add other social links there, then add the custom fields first.
    https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs-v2/places/custom/

    You will need to edit this page to add the custom fields to the header of the detail page:
    /wp-content/themes/supreme-directory/template-parts/header/header-single-top.php

    Thanks

    Hi Guust. Thank you so much for your help thus far. It has been invaluable! I have consolidated all my questions into one post. 1a, b, c and d. 2. Please refer to the attached.

    1. Custom Fields have been set in Place
    a. I have added Custom Fields to each Place (Instagram, WhatsApp, LinkedIn etc), but when creating a new Place it does not give me the option to add the URLs / links to the new Place
    b. How to add (change) to the Icons and links shown here and colours if available
    c. Do I require another Plug In to have more share options (Instagram, LinkedIn etc)
    d. Is it possible to change the button colours from red to whatever I choose?
    2. The menu is transparent as requested. But the User cannot access the filters on the Search Results page

    I had no trouble adding them from the frontend, the result is here:
    …./places/guust-test/

    b. How to add (change) to the Icons and links shown here and colours if available

    You will need to edit this page to add the custom fields to the header of the detail page:
    /wp-content/themes/supreme-directory/template-parts/header/header-single-top.php

    That is not a link but a file location in your file system.
    See image 1.

    c. Do I require another Plug In to have more share options (Instagram, LinkedIn etc)

    You can add the

    d. Is it possible to change the button colours from red to whatever I choose?

    Yes, add this CSS [adjust as required]:

    .sd-cta-favsandshare a, .sd-cta-favsandshare a:visited {color: red;}

    For more CSS, see https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/customizing-your-style/

    2. The menu is transparent as requested. But the User cannot access the filters on the Search Results page

    Edited CSS at Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS
    For more CSS, see https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/customizing-your-style/

    Hi Guust. Thank you for your help thus far. It has truly been invaluable!

    I have another question. Through Places I have chosen to Sort via Membership. I have found that this Sorting option only works on Places and not the Location page.

    Is it possible to have it Sort with Places, Location and Search Results Pages?

    The Location page uses GD Listings.

    When you create a shortcode for the Location page, you can set the sort for any sort you have created on the sorting tab for the CPT.

    Search results are always sorted by relevance; sorting options apply on the Archive page or in GD Listings if selected for the configuration.
