Users cannot add listings

Hi Paolo,

I’m in a bit of a quandary.

I swapped to shared hosting very briefly and because of the issues I had with go daddy not backing up the site (long story!!!!) I got a refund for the year and am currently on managed wordpress again for a couple of weeks until I decide what to do.

I read your article properly tonight and I’ve been researching my options.

In the article it says Geodirectory doesn’t work well on shared hosting or managed wordpress and you recommend Cloud Hosting.

I had a look at Cloud Ways but their reviews don’t seem fantastic. Also the research I did suggests there are more security issues with cloud hosting? I am still learning and I think it may be too advanced for me at this stage.

I think a VPS or dedicated server is just too expensive for me / too advanced, given I’m starting up.

My concern is if I dedicate anymore time to GeoD (even if I’m on shared hosting) which may be slightly better than managed, I will run into more problems down the line. For example shared may be much slower as the site grows.

I’m still not sure if the duplicated fields on the add listing page (category, location) is down to being on managed wordpress, as when I switched to shared it was still the same.

If you can make any suggestions, I’d be grateful.

Hi Paolo,

I’ve moved to another company onto shared hosting and my site is up and running.

What details do you need so you can take a look?

Many Thanks,

Emma

Thank you 🙂
