    Hiya

    Sorry to trouble you but my search has stopped working. If I tap in London, it pulls up random business all sorts of distances away. Would you mind taking a really quick look please? or suggest what I have done wrong.

    Also is there a way of adding a country dropdown to the search or do I just have to create categories and tag content?

    Many thanks

    Hi Lucy,

    Please look at this: https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/gd-search/

    If you have location manger installed you should add the location switcher which will let you change locations. Locations are not done by cat or tags.

    If you provide a link to your site i will take a look.

    Thanks,

    Stiofan

    1, When I type in a city or town, it returns random places at random distances away.
    Searching NEAR the center of a city, is not the same as searching IN the city, please review https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/searching-and-browsing/

    2, When I search from the main menu -> Find a Veterinary Chiropractor …. if I search a specific zone all the pins show up but when I go to Global Search which includes all chiropractors, lots of pins are missing.
    Those are not searches, but a link to a page that lists all listings with a particular tag.

    3, I followed documentation for adding a ‘location switcher’ to the search bar so people can search via country but I can’t get this to show.
    I added it now, you did not select a menu at GD > Design > Navigation
    https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/multilocations/#main

    Make sure you have selected a menu to be used for your GeoDirectory links at GD > Design > Navigation

    4, Your locations do not follow the recommended format, see https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/definitions/#location
    For example you have these 2 countries: “Norway” and “Norway,USA”.
    Please review
    https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/manage-location/#edit
    https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/faqs/how-do-i-merge-locations/

    Thanks
