Search Function

Can I set uploads to update existing listings based on first and last name instead of ID number?

When you upload a CSV file to update it will overwrite everything of the existing listing. Databases only have one identification key for a record which is the post ID, so that is the only thing it can compare with your new upload.

I added the images now to https://wpgeodirectory.com/support/topic/search-function-6/page/2/#post-502829
Have a look at the images, they show you how you can change the settings.

(1) WP memory limit: 256 MB — is this adequate to run GD smoothly and snappily?

Yes, that should be enough.

(2) Add listing page: ❌ Page does not contain the shortcode.

That looks like a false report. Your Add Listing page has the correct shortcode and works fine. It is probably related to the fact that I restored it a few days ago because it contained the wrong shortcode at that time.

Shared hosting is not suitable for sites that will have lots of listings and locations, please review https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/server-requirements/

So I’m configuring search page and in the details search I’m trying to configure so that the search bars go as follows: Category, First Name, Last Name, Business Name, City, County, Zip, Skills & Services
However, the page defaults back to County, City, Zip Code, Last Name, etc. each time.
How do I fix this?

Drag and drop the fields you added at Listings > Settings > Search tab

Thanks
