hi, previous to the update, we had a search bar under the map which is now gone. Can you advise how i can get it back? I’ve scoured through all settings.

Before the home page was built with widgets, now with shortcodes or blocks.

You just need to add back the gd_search shortcode in the home page content: https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs-v2/geodirectory/design-elements/

Hope this helps.

Thanks

this helps, but can you identify which short code will bring that search box back?

Hi Paolo/Alex, in the main post image, there is a layer that allowed users to sort by category, any suggestions how i can get that back?
```
[gd_map width="100%" height="400px" zoom="2" map_type="directory" marker_cluster="1"][gd_search]
```
this is what I have right now

Thanks!

What you are using for the map should have category filters. If you provide a link and admin credentials we’ll check what the problem is.

Thanks

I removed the filter as it created an issue on the home page where “recent listings” wouldn’t show, also as per the PM above in blue, it looked really off being a small box in the middle of the map compared to the image that I started this post with:

I just made some changes, but this is what was there before:
```
[gd_map width="100%" height="425px" maptype="ROADMAP" zoom="0" map_type="directory" post_settings="1" cat_filter="1" marker_cluster="1"] [gd_search]
```

Hi there,

Thanks for your reply. Try using the custom CSS code below and see if it helps.
```
.geodir-map-wrap .map-category-listing {
    width:100%!important;
    max-width:100%!important;
}

.map_category {
    width: auto!important;
}
```

Thank you! this worked perfect!

There are 2 issues that have started now after adding cat_filter=”1″

1. recent listings on home page; I now have to refresh the page, sometimes up to 5 times to get the recent listings on the page to show.

2. post_type_filter=’true’ – seems to me that the inverse option to what is shown on the map is highlighted, would be better to have the option thats shown on the map highlighted. How can I fix that?

Thanks again for all your hard work and efforts!

1. Recently viewed uses a sort f browser history, so, yes, you have to view 5 listings before it shows 5 listings.
2. You can adjust the shortcode or visit the custom post types tab to change the order of the post types.
GD – Settings – Post Types – choose one to be last, edit it, set it to 100, repeat with lower numbers counting down to first post type.
