I just noticed that all the listings I have uploaded the past couple days were set as paid listings, and not free listings. Why did it do this, how do i fix this?

In your price settings, you have set the paid listing as the first one, or the default one.
Before uploading listings, just swap that around temporarily.

For the already imported ones, edit the package in each listing, or change the package ID in the place detial table in the database.

I’m not 100% sure, but I think that you can add 4 extra fields to your CSV at the end after Images.

paid_amount, package_id, alive_days and expire_date

For a free listing you would want:

paid_amount = 0
package_id = 1
alive_days = 0
expire_date = Never

* make sure your free package_id for the desired cpt is actually 1…

Let us know,

Thx

Ok, That last addition seems to work.

But now something new and strange is happening.
On the detail listing page the place tags are not showing up. If you go into admin for listing, they tags did get uploaded and are connected to company, but they do not show on front end with rest of company details.

that should not be an issue, i am using same tags for listings i upload, this already worked with previous upload, and within the tags limit . It is only 91 characters and tag limit is 200 characters.

If I go into each one and press update button from the admin side the tags do appear on the front end, But, the text is not aligned correctly on the page. see attachment.

Doing a manual update from admin for 4000+ listings does not seem like a nice scenario for me. Please help me out with this bug, i have paused uploading listings until I hear back about this

can you please upload a CSV that you uploaded and tags are not showing?

There could be something wrong in it.

If you also provide a URL and wp admin credentials I can actually test seeing what’s happening.

Thx

p.s. the alignment of Tags is right and originally having a 40 chars limit it would work. Having that many tags, you simply need to change its css:
```
.geodir-tags {
    clear: both;
    float: left;
}
```
Thx

yes, next version will include a new admin page called GD tools and a tool to fix faulty tags due to the bugs found today will be included.

Cool,

I just realized another possible bug you might have a look at.

I have a limit on the content description length that free listing users can submit. When they go over that amount it causes the system to have issues it seems.

It will cut the amount written, even in admin area it is cut(thats ok), but the detail page will not load when this scenario occurs. When i delete another character or two and update, the page loads fine.

This has only happened a couple times, and think there might be a pattern, not sure.

Not sure if you can recreate this bug?

Can you provide a link pls and tell us which price has a description limit on your website?

I’m testing in our demo and if you set a description limit, the description text area is enabled to accept the number of characters allowed by the description limit. Not 1 letter more…

Let us know,

Thx
