    Hiya .. came across this plug in a while back and in the process of setting up a directory on a business support site , I bought the payments add on , and started building .

    I want the plugin to cover Kent UK and South London areas and I live in a smallish town called Gravesend .
    I dont want there to be seperate loactions for this since most people travel to attend venues and i dont want users to have to click on a particular town or village to see all businesses , so imagined i could put Kent as the place and move map markers to suit businesses. The admin end does not allow me to do this so my directory only works for a tiny part of the area which is basically useless.
    Also issues with changing places to listings .. yes i have seen all the posts on here .. and changing the name of GD home ( i do not want it on the front page.

    On reading it appears this is all deliberate and i would need to buy a membership … if this is the case then please refund monies paid or give me a credit to use against one of the memberships

    Regards

    Hi Rich

    Firstly, all you need extra is the Location Manager addon, but it is your choice if you want a membership that includes all addons.
    This is from https://wordpress.org/plugins/geodirectory/

    Create a local directory, based on a single location, using the GeoDirectory free core plugin. Focus on a street or go as wide as a city. Expand to multiple locations or make a global directory with our MultiLocation premium add-on.

    So nothing hidden, no trickery 🙂

    Also issues with changing places to listings
    Please review https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/faqs/how-do-i-change-place-and-places/
    Nothing new to buy if you use option 2.

    changing the name of GD home ( i do not want it on the front page.
    If you do not want the start page of the directory to be the homepage of your site, you have no need for GD Home.
    See https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/basic-installation/#home

    But if you want to change the name of GD Home, just change the name as you would rename any WP page, see https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/layout/

    In the Pages section of your WP admin dashboard, you can change the title and the slug of the page.

    Thanks

    Thanks for your prompt reply , I shall try and implement the non cost options first .. then consider whether i need other add ons or just the Locations addon, as i am beginning to see the CPT add on may be of use. And will make directory page from shortcodes/widgets etc.

    One more question … will the locations addon allow me to show the whole area ( ie all “cities” i require0 in one list and map without users having to change or select specific locations .

    Again ..Thanks for your time and patience 🙂

    Regards

    That’s how it works.
    You will automatically have a /location/ page, see https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/layout/#home
    that will show all listings. That will be the start page of the directory section of your site.

    Thanks
