Firstly, the issue of GD Dashboard.
I installed most of GD addons yesterday and found that GD Dashboard(left bar menu Dashboard->GeoDirectory) cannot be correctly shown and only has the following messages (see attached):
“The site is experiencing technical difficulties. Please check your site admin email inbox for instructions.”
However, I did receive any emails. I also notice the messages from GD Dashboard webpage (https://wpgeodirectory.com/downloads/gd-dashboard/):
“This product is no longer for sale, it may no longer be supported or retired.”
Does it mean that I do not need the GD Dashboard any more and may directly uninstall it now?
Secondly, the security of shortcodes.
GeoDirectory uses tons of shortcodes and any users can use them anywhere too (including “reviews”) . How to control users to use them? I am trying to make a white-list for them now. Could you please provide a full list of shortcodes both GD and Addons for me?
Thirdly, regarding to the fees of Google Map API.
Some API services are free but most of them need to pay (https://developers.google.com/maps/billing/understanding-cost-of-use). How to control the GD & addons and minimize to be charged by Google? Also, how to remove “directions” below the map?
Many thanks for your time and help.
