Hi team, I searched, but could not find the answer. I suspect this is a common enough question. I only have one post type under GD — “schools”. Is it possible to default the links in the User Dashboard Widget to that post type? I am referring to the Dashboard that shows up on the sidebar of individual listings. Maybe there’s a way to show regular links rather than the “Chosen” multi-select dropdown box? Thanks in advance!

If you only have one CPT, then there should be no other links showing, but only your default CPT?
The links in the dashboard widget are controlled at GD > Design > Navigation: https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/core-design/#userlinks

Thanks

Hello!

There isn’t a setting for that, so it isn’t possible without a customization. You can give it a try yourself or hire a dev, and if you run into trouble post your code back here for review.

Are you using UsersWP?

If you are, that link will be static and point to the author page like:

https://mysite.com/profile/myaccountnickname/

You might want to just make a ‘logged in users’ text widget with some pretty links like that.

Let us know

Yep, I ended up coding a shortcode that echoes out the links when a user is logged on. It would be a welcome feature it did it by default if there’s only one CPT. Thanks!

Sure, here’s what I did:
```
add_shortcode('geo-action-links', 'geo_action_links');

function geo_action_links() {
	if (is_user_logged_in()) {
		global $current_user;
		get_currentuserinfo();
		ob_start(); ?> 
		<div class="lwh-action-links">
			<a class="lwh-action-link" href="<?php echo get_author_posts_url($current_user->ID); ?>?geodir_dashbord=true&stype=gd_place">Manage My School(s)</a>
			<a class="lwh-action-link" href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/add-listing/?listing_type=gd_place">Add New School</a>
			<a class="lwh-action-link" href="<?php echo get_author_posts_url($current_user->ID); ?>?geodir_dashbord=true&stype=gd_place&list=favourite">My Saved Schools</a>
		</div>
	<?php
		return ob_get_clean();
	}
}
```
