Hi.

I have placed the listing shortcode in a page, but the excerpt is only showing a few characters.

http://mapmyway.co.za/secret-spots-route/

I have changed the setting in the plugin’s options to display more but this does not seem to be working.

Is it possible to show more characters in the list view shortcode?

Thank you.

Hello!

You can also take a look here to see how settings can change what fields are displayed in which areas.

I am guessing you are using the [gd_listings] shortcode or the [gd_popular_post_view] shortcode.
You can add the character_count parameter, see
https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/core-shortcodes/#listings
https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/core-shortcodes/#poppost

Let us know if that was it.

Hi everyone,

Thanks so much. Yes, got it working nicely using the “character_count” in the shortcode.

Hello!

I have another question relating to the [gd_listings] shortcode. I would like to display the address details in the shortcode as well.

Here is a link: http://mapmyway.co.za/routes/womans-walk-talk/

So essentially it would be the title, image and excerpt, then below that the place location.

Is this possible?

Thanks so much.

The shortcode should display whatever your settings are at GD > Place Settings > Custom Fields.
If you add the address field to show in “Listings page”, it will show in your gd_listings shortcode.
