hey,
i set radius for 400km, but it still gives me results only for the town in search.
for example, when i search for tel aviv, i only get tel aviv, and not results within 400km radius.
also – “near me” gives error. can’t locate me.http://outofsite.biz/yoga/directory/
thanks!

I do get a result about 100kms away from Tel Aviv: http://outofsite.biz/yoga/?geodir_search=1&stype=gd_place&s=+&snear=tel+aviv&sgeo_lat=32.066158&sgeo_lon=34.77781900000002
Thanks
May 14, 2017 at 9:06 am #378258i don’t want ssl
i only get ONE result, where i should be getting many.
the only result i’m getting is the one ACTUALLY in TLV. i’m not getting ANY results from results within radius.
thanks.May 14, 2017 at 9:12 am #378260ok – it works only i don’t choose the city from the dropdown list.
for example oif you type “תל אביב” (tel aviv in hebrew), the city appears in the dropdown, and when i choose it, only results in tel aviv appears.May 14, 2017 at 10:32 am #378263any ideas?
May 14, 2017 at 11:55 am #378268Please review https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/gd-search/ especially point 4.
Searching IN Tel Aviv [selecting a suggestion – that is why the suggestion says “IN”] is not the same as NEAR THE CENTER of Tel Aviv [not choosing a selection].May 14, 2017 at 12:11 pm #378269thanks.
but it’s confusing.
because on one hand if i type a city which is not present (hence not seen in the dropdown) i will get zero results.
but on the other hand, if i choose from a dropdown it will give me only resutls within the city.
how can a client even begin to understand that?
i can’t explain: “search for a city. if it appears in the dropdown and you want to search in the city itself – select the dropdown. if you want to search within a radius of the city – don’t select the dropdown. if you search for a city and it doesn’t appear in the dropdown, it does OR doesn’t exist, who knows, just try a million times until something happens”.May 14, 2017 at 12:25 pm #378272You can turn off the auto-suggestion in the Advanced Search settings, if you don’t like them.
ThanksMay 14, 2017 at 12:33 pm #378275but if i turn them off, and clients would search a non existing city – i get no results.
and again, on the other hand, if i keep it on, it gives me only results in the city and not in radius.
please try to understand the difficulty:a client searches “תל אביב” (tel aviv in hebrew). a dropdown appears even after he tyoed 3 letters. he obviously chooses the word from the dropdown. it doesn’t give him results from a radius, like he thinks it might.
May 14, 2017 at 12:57 pm #378277Why would they think they choose a radius if the select “IN: Tel Aviv”?
You can change the text in the field to something that explains it better. Or add an explanation below it.
What else do you suggest?May 14, 2017 at 1:05 pm #378278how do the know they chose “in” or “radius” of a place they type?
it would only seem normal that if there’s a radius, it would search within the radius. no?
if a client want to search within 100km of tel aviv, and he types “tel aviv”, and a dropdown appears – how would he know that selecting it would cause it to appear not in radius?
there should be a more distinct differentiation between when you search within a radius, or IN a city. currently there isn’t such.
the whole point of not making the search geo-driven was that if you use the geosearch engine, you can get a lot of empty results. this is why when you type a city, only if it exists – it shows.May 14, 2017 at 3:51 pm #378283and one other thing – how do i get near me to work? right now i’m getting “Permission denied in finding your location.”
thanks.May 15, 2017 at 5:32 am #378314You will need an SSL cerificate, see https://wpgeodirectory.com/adding-a-ssl-certificate-to-your-website/
They will know that they are searching “IN” because their selection will say “IN: Tel Aviv”.
