    Thank you Alex.

    I completely understand what you’re saying. I do, however, have no idea how to implement the changes or how to set it to my preferred sorting field on the other pages?

    Thanks for your help Alex! I really appreciate it.

    I stumbled across similar posts in Support and figured it out after trial and error.

    I still have not managed to change it to Membership on the Search Results page? And what determines the Relevance in which it is currently sorted?

    There isn’t a feature to sort on the search results page, exactly. It should be done with the advanced search filters. Results are always sorted by relevance (for keyword searches, based on points for the keyword appearing in the title, less for the description, tags, and categories) and distance (for near searches).

    Thanks Alex. Slow progress but progress nonetheless.

    On the GD Pages, location and places etc you will notice I have added the right sidebar.

    Another two different questions please:

    1 – I have added the Gallery widget to the right sidebar on GD Pages. Currently when you click the Image it enlarges it. Is it possible to hyperlink the Image with the current widget? Or would you be able to indicate another way to do it?
    2 – I have added recently viewed to the sidebar too. I watched the video on your Youtube channel (GD Basic Setup) to remove the Description as it all takes up too much space on the page. Unfortunately this video is a little outdated and I cannot figure out another way to remove the Description only from the sidebar?

    1. Hyperlink with current widget? Not getting it, can you say more?

    2. You would need to hide it with CSS. Use the class of the sidebar to target your custom CSS.

    If you would like an example pleas re-share login, the credentials are no longer valid.

    GD Post Images has an option to link to the post, please try that.

    https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs-v2/design/images/

    I have added an example for hiding post content in a sidebar:

    https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs-v2/design/gd_post_content/#customizing

    

    
.sd-sidebar.sd-sidebar-right .geodir-post-content-container {
    display: none;
}

    1. Can you provide more information? A link, and a screenshot would help.
    

    3. CSS can be added to the customizer:

    Hi Alex
    

    I have been attempting to add CSS but the results are not working at all. I will leave my progress on the CSS unchanged. You will see that number 12 and 13 is the CSS that I added.
    

    I am trying to change the colour of the buttons. I have added an explanation in the attached.
    

    If you could please assist in CSS? Or give an indication of what I am doing wrong?

    You are using the GeoDirectory Single for the GD Details template. It includes that header area, and those buttons have inline styles that cannot be easily overridden, that are hard-coded in the theme.
    

    You can use a Full Width or default template on the GD Details page and then you will be able to add those items and change the colors for them.
    

    Otherwise that area requires customization with PHP:

    Thanks Alex.
    

    I have added another attachment, which would be my last question, as I am happy with the general look and feel of the site at this point.

    They are all hardcoded in the sense that our themes are offered as-is. 
    

    We have many examples of CSS on these pages:
    

    https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs-v2/themes/supreme/
    
https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs-v2/faq/common-examples/
    

    Especially here are all the wrapper classes for the GD Single detail info area:
    

    https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs-v2/themes/supreme/#css-single
    

    

    
#ds-container > div.fullwidth-sidebar-container.sd-details-top-section > div > div > div > div.sd-detail-cta > div.gd-badge-meta.gd-badge-large.gd-badge-aligncenter.gd-write-a-review-badge.gd-badge-meta-write-a-review > a > div {
    background-color: #000!important;
}
