    Hi There

    I have been testing out geo directory with x pro theme by Themco and all good so far. However I have a few questions before buying membership which I hope you can answer. I Have read the documentation and looked through the forum but some of the answers may be blocked off as I do not have the paid membership yet.

    My client’s website will be a directory of alternative therapists who run their own businesses.

    Questions are:
    1. We want any potential client to add their own listing which looks fine with payment manager BUT we would like the listings to be approved by admin before going live (even if it is only the free ones) – is this possible?
    2. When I create a place, as if I were a new business adding myself to the website:
    a. The opening times are all on one line.
    b. There is nowhere to add a Business logo that I can see for the top of the listing.
    c. When I add a description or any text etc there are no editing tools so I cannot change colour add any formatting, make bold, make sub headings etc. This only seems to be available directly on the post from the admin area which the client will not have access to. Obviously clients want to make their space look good so how can this be included.
    3. Looking at several bits of documentation you say that geo directory relies heavily on the plugin Posts 2 Posts. However the only plugin I can find called that, has not been updated in 2 years and says it may not be compatible with the latest version of wordpress. If this is not the plugin could you please give the the url of the one I would need.
    4. There are no “hints” on the listing page to tell the potential client what size images to upload.
    5. I intend to use my own home page but would like to have a geo directory search and a geo directory featured image section. Do you have shortcodes that would allow these to be put in different areas of the home page. I have not been able to find those so far.
    6. I also read in the documentation that you cannot use flexslider on the same page as geo directory. Can they be used on other pages and could revolution slider be used or any other slider?
    7. I need to use a large menu system – will geo directory work with mega menu?
    8. I have looked at payment manager but there is not image of the invoice. Do you have one and can the format be changed ie logo put on etc.
    9. I want listers to be able to upload their terms and conditions etc which will be viewable for searchers. I understand that this can be done when customising the listing but can more than one file be added?

    I think thats about it – sorry its a long list.

    Thanks

    Hi Eileen,

    Thanks for your thorough explanation. Ok, I’ll try to cut this short.

    #1 You can set “New listing default status:” as mentioned in this section of the documentation

    #2 A) you can use this plugin https://wpgeodirectory.com/downloads/gd-business-hours-2/
    B) Go to Appearance > Customize > Site identity.

    #3 Post to Pasts is required only for the GD list manager addon.

    #4 You can set the file size limit at GD > General Settings

    #5 Check this out https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/core-shortcodes/

    #6 Which part of the doc that mentions this?

    #7 Yes

    #8 Not sure what you mean, could you elaborate?

    #9 You can only display a single T&C page

    Thanks!

    Wow Kor – thanks for your quick replies. I managed to find a whole load of youtube videos as well which were great.

    The bits that were not clear.

    1. The logo was actually for the listings not the main website – so that individual businesses can put a copy of their logo at the top of the business or underneath the image before the text etc.

    2. Flexslider – its here https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/known-issues/#flex
    However it does give a script to put in functions file to get round it so now not an issue.

    3. Number 8 – I take it that payment manager creates an invoice both for the subscriber and for the website owner? If so where is it as no image in the documentation and can it be styled.

    4. Number 9 – The file upload would be for info to searchers once they had selected the business page they wanted. It would be the t & c of the listed business not of the website. I take it that files can be uploaded to the listing area by subscribers and that these files can be seen by searchers if they wish?

    I found the editing tools as this required a setting before it was shown so thats great for the Description.

    Thanks very much this has really helped.

    Kind regards

    Hi Eileen,

    Thanks for your reply and I’m sorry for the late response. Let me try to answer your remaining questions.

    #1 Do you mean the listing featured image? If not, you can try creating a custom field and insert a custom logo for the business logo.

    #2 ok great.

    #3 That invoice is created depends on with payment service you use. For paypal, you should be able to customize the invoice. As for others, you can check with them.

    #4 This can be achieved using custom fields. Check out this section of the documentation https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/core-place-settings/#custom

    Thanks!
