Restricting Search Criteria

In that case you will need:

.sd.home .featured-area .ac_input, .sd.home .featured-area .near-compass {
    display: none;
}

The only way to add a link below the search form is to edit this function: sd_homepage_featured_content which uses this action:

sd_homepage_content

.

This is how I would do it.

// we remove everything from the home page
remove_action('sd_homepage_content','sd_homepage_featured_content');

// we copy the function sd_homepage_featured_content rename it and edit it
function my_sd_homepage_featured_content(){

                if (is_singular() && $location = do_shortcode('[gd_current_location_name]')) { ?>
                    <h1 class="entry-title"><?php echo $location; ?></h1>
                <?php } else { ?>
                    <h1 class="entry-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
                <?php }

                $sub_title = get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'subtitle', true);

                if (geodir_is_page('location') && defined('GEODIRLOCATION_VERSION')) {
                    $loc = geodir_get_current_location_terms();
                    $location_type = geodir_what_is_current_location();
                    $country_slug = '';
                    $region_slug = '';
                    if ($location_type == 'city') {
                        $slug = $loc['gd_city'];
                        $region_slug = $loc['gd_region'];
                        $country_slug = $loc['gd_country'];

                    } else if ($location_type == 'region') {
                        $slug = $loc['gd_region'];
                        $country_slug = $loc['gd_country'];
                    } elseif($location_type == 'country') {
                        $slug = $loc['gd_country'];
                        $country_slug = $loc['gd_country'];
                    }
                    else {
                        $slug = '';

                    }
                    $seo = geodir_location_seo_by_slug($slug, $location_type, $country_slug, $region_slug);
                    $tagline = (isset($seo->seo_image_tagline)) ? $seo->seo_image_tagline : '';
                    if ($tagline) {
                        $sub_title = stripslashes($tagline);
                    }

                }
                if (isset($sub_title)) {
                    echo '<div class="entry-subtitle">' . $sub_title . '</div>';
                }

            echo do_shortcode('[gd_advanced_search]');
// we comment out the popular category shortcode completely.
            //echo do_shortcode('[gd_popular_post_category category_limit=5]');
// we add the link needed before the chevron
            echo '<a href="YOUR_URL">YOUR_ANCHOR_TEXT</a>';
            echo '<div class="home-more" id="sd-home-scroll"><a href="#sd-home-scroll" ><i class="fa fa-chevron-down"></i></a></div>';

}

// we add everything back on the home page
add_action('sd_homepage_content','my_sd_homepage_featured_content');

Remember to change echo ‘YOUR_ANCHOR_TEXT‘; and add your url and anchor text.

The best way would be to use code snippet plugin to make this changes so that future updates will not wipe them out.https://wordpress.org/plugins/code-snippets/

If you want to remove the 2 fields from every form change the css I’ve given you with this:

.ac_input, .near-compass, .sd.home .featured-area .sd.home .featured-area .geodir-category-list-in  {
    display: none;
}

For the near me page I’ll need a link, images cannot be inspected.

Thanks

p.s. if you are enjoying GD and our support, please consider leaving a nice review here: https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/geodirectory/reviews/

We would really appreciate it… 🙂

My bad, I mixed up the css:

.ac_input, .near-compass, ..sd.home .featured-area .geodir-category-list-in  {
    display: none;
}

This will work. Let me know when you fixed this so that I check the near me page.

Thanks

Hi,

please create an admin user for me and I will check the CSS part.

Let me know,

Thanks
