Shortcodes

Hi launchpad,

Thanks for your post. Kindly refer to this section of the documentation https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs-v2/geodirectory/design-elements/ that explains more about the shortcodes. If you need assistance, share your Website WP admin access here in private reply and we’ll check this out for you.

Hello,

If you let me know what you are trying to achieve i will point you in the right direction.

The two widgets you mention are the only ones events adds but that does not mean its the only ones for events, most others will work with events, for example if you want to display events you can use the “GD > Listings” shortcode/widget/block.

If you can post a link to your site i will check if there is an issue with images, by default we load images via AJAX which helps with load times but if you have a JS error on your page this can cause it to fail in some cases.

Thanks,

I can see you are getting frustrated, we have all been there, hopefully i can help you make sense of things 🙂

Let me list a few points:

1. All our content can be output either as a shortcode, a widget or a Gutenberg block (the new WP editor). So when i say “shortcode/widget/block” it was stating that you can do this in those 3 ways.

2. The “GD > Listings” is the name of the said shortcode/widget/block that you want to use. If you go to the widgets page you will see it named exactly that, and in blocks.

3. The settings inside the shortcode/widget/block determine what is shown, so its in the setting you tell it what you want it to output. You simply select the post type to gd_event and set the view, featured only etc.

I hope those points make it clear, if not just let me know.

Thanks,

Stiofan
