    So I am planing to start using this for one of my new website but have these doubts and questions before finalizing it

    1) URL Structure
    I see in the Permalink Setting (GeoDirectory) I can change the Listing URL Prefix is it possible to not have a slug there?? instead of
    http://*******/<<your slug>>/united-states/new-york/rittenhouse-square/
    i want the url to be like
    http://*******/united-states/new-york/rittenhouse-square/

    2) Replace “Place” and “Places” with something else
    In the clowndirectory demo i see that the word “Places” is replaced by “Clown” how and where do I find that setting? I changed the Permalink name but i still see “Places”. I should be able to change that in the Breadcrumb too..

    3) If I purchase the addon “Prices and Payments”?
    Can it allow/disallow special custom fields for paid vs free listing. Limit number of Images etc.

    4) Confusion with Categories
    The listings on my website would be of a single main category just like the “Clowns” example. Similarly it may have subcategories like “Male” and “Female” so do I have to create a main category and then add the sub categories to it? or Should I just add “Male” and “Female” ?

    5) Is it possible to Customize the Add Listing Page?
    Say if I want to change the labels of some default fields like “Listing Title” etc where do i change it?

    6) Default Location
    I want it to allow me to choose any location from the United States, I entered New York as the default city and region, but now it does not allow me to choose any location outside New York, this is not what I want..

    1. No, you always will have at least site.com/places(or similar)/listing-name

    2. That is possible with the Custom Post Type addon, or by using the translation files.
    https://wpgeodirectory.com/addons/custom-post-types/

    3. Yes

    4. All listings need to be in a Custom Post Type (places) and at least one category (male or female).
    Have a look here: https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/places-categories-and-listings/

    5. Some you change with the translation files, but most you change at GD > Place settings > Custom fields.

    6. You need the Location Manager (aka Multilocation) addon for that.

    Thanks @guust for the quick response..

    Understood the 1 , 3 and 6 !!!

    About the question 2 and 4
    So if I use the Custom Post Type addon, and I change the “Places” to something else it will change the Text everywhere right to be precise
    A) Everywhere in The Breadcrumbs
    B) On the Listing Details : where it says “Place Category: ” and “Place Tags:”
    C) On the Location Page : Where it says “Places in <<City Name>>” in the title and on the page content.

    Also Where do I find the translation files?

    One more thing in the breadcrumbs for the listing
    “Home > Places > United States > New York > Rittenhouse Square”
    If the user clicks on “New York” or “United States” it takes him to a Location page where only the listing in those regions are displayed.. Is there a way to add descriptions to those pages? for example If I want to add description to “New York” can I do it?

    2+4: Yes, it will change everywhere.

    https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/category/translation/

    Description in location pages are added this way: https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/location-manager-widgets/#desc [still need to fix the pics again 🙁 ]

    So the Location Description will only work with the Multi-location add-on!!

    What does that table on the page mean?

    Widget name Can be used on these pages:

    does it have to do anything with the description being displayed?

    The location description will only show on the home/location pages, not on the category or detail pages.

    As a follow up to the issue of renaming the Places Post Type, I notices the Post Type is not editable but everything else is. Can I rename Places here (replacing every reference to “Place” with for example “Concert Halls”) or do I also have to edit the .po file as well? Does it matter that the post type is different from every other Listing Slug and Label?

    Basically I want to use Places but call it something different. I am not 100% clear on this.

    Thanks and Happy New Year!

    @justmark This was exactly my next question, I activated purchased a 4 month membership on this site so that I start using the plugins and test them out..

    There are a few things which have now come up…
    the first thing is posted
    “Disable the Places when I have a new Custom Post Type created”
    https://wpgeodirectory.com/support/topic/want-to-disable-places/

    which I think will answer your question too since “Place” taxonomy is set as readonly i dont think it will be possible to update and change the name to something else even if you change the Title’s etc the search term displays “gd_places” which creates confusion..

    Hi,

    if you rename the Place custom post type via Custom Post Types add-on, the only thing that will not change is the gd_place part in the url of the add listing page and in the search URLs:

    yoursite.com/add-listing/?listing_type=gd_place
    yoursite.com/?geodir_search=1&stype=gd_place&s=+&snear=&sgd_placecategory[]=&sgeo_lat=&sgeo_lon=

    If you need to use a different post type, just create and delete all listing from the default post type. disable it from the map and navigation in GeoDirectory >> Design >> Map and GeoDirectory >> Design >> Navigation and it will not appear anywhere, but the back end.

    Thanks
