    What are the shortcode options? I can’t find them anywhere. The shortcode builder only has an option for “are you interested” and the calendar.

    I managed to figure out how to display the events in a grid but the images don’t show up. Your documentation has NOTHING about shortcodes which is kinda the most important part no? No idea who put this together.

    I can’t even accomplish the simpliest thing so far i think you guys are terrible i hope i’m wrong

    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.

    Look for the shortcode builder. It has all the params defined and will build the shortcodes for you based on your preferences.

    I am using the events add on and in the shortcode builder, there are only 2 options there.

    Even in your link Kor there are only 2 options. I feel like the events add on has more options than these two options
    geodir_event_calendar
    geodir_event_ayi

    So is there somewhere else that has documentation on how to use this plugin?

    Also let’s change the status away from “resolved” because this is FAR from resolved

    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,

    Stiofan

    All I want to do is have a shortcode that shows featured listings (thumbnail and title)

    And another one with regular listings

    Both in grid mode 4 columns.

    You can see my frustration you said yourself that you only posted 2.

    I’m very confused on how adding a shortcode for the regular listings will work for the events. I need events and places to be different

    what on earth does this even mean

    GD > Listings” shortcode/widget/block

    I’m guessing you’re trying to tell me to look under the geo directory tab in my dashboard then to “listings” which doesn’t exist.

    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
