    I have a question. Where can I find instructions on setting up a GD directory? With all due respect, I am not new to web development but I’ve tried so many different themes to get the look I am looking for with much disappointment due to the learning curve.

    1) How can I remove the board from the search box? I notice that it doesn’t show on when using the Listimia. I am currently using the Astra theme.

    2) How do I upload/multiple maps icon? I tried uploading the place categories including the hyperlink to my maps like the sample described but they don’t show up?

    Hi Richard,

    Thanks for your post. You can refer to this section of the documentation https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs-v2/geodirectory/installation/ that explains more about this.

    1. Which “board” are you referring to? Could you provide some screenshots?

    2. Map markers are actually category icons and you can add it here https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs-v2/places/categories/#settings .

    Hello,

    let me try to respond to the issues you have mentioned:

    Map not loading on add listing page

    There are a couple of errors on the page. You should probably try disabling non-GD addons or switching theme to see if the map will show. We can do this for you if you have a staging site or you can provide FTP for this site.

    Package Category limit

    Packages all have a setting to limit the number of categories. If you want to charge $1 for each additional category you will need to make a package for each category count like Package A – 2 categories, Package b – 3 categories etc.

    Search Category

    If you use the Category select dropdown, it will only show categories that have listings. If you mean the autocomplete dropdown from the search near field, that will show all categories. We have a task to look at improving that. In the meantime you can disable autocomplete for categories in the Advanced Search tab.

    1. Which “board” are you referring to? Could you provide some screenshots?

    2) How do I upload/multiple maps icon?

    You should be able to export the categories to see the exact format for how to load the icon as a file. When you do your import format it the same way.

    For real estate and events, I plan to offer users the ability to list to purchase listing plans that include various amounts of listings per year from one to unlimited.

    We plan to add a feature like this in the future, but for now some members have been using a simple workaround. If, for example, there is a free package for 1 event, then a paid package for unlimited events, for the unlimited events these could be added using the Franchise Manager addon. Enable franchises for the package and set the count for unlimited and the cost to 0.

    Add Listing page sidebar

    It looks like you have fixed this, as the GD Dashboard is showing on the sidebar.

    Map came back after I disabled elementor. I may have to switch themes to DIVI.

    Sorry, I missed that.

    With Elementor, on the add listing page, and all pages, use shortcodes. Not widgets. Try that and it should work.

    I have cleared GD Booster and deactivated it, it should only be used with GDV2.

    Any modern cache plugin will work with GD.
