    Hi

    I thought I was imagining this, but now realise I’m not. When I visit a category on my directory, for instance ‘Events’, within a few seconds I end up redirected to dogfriendly/me/ (main directory page). This doesn’t happen every time, but occasionally. It’s very weird. I’ll paste the site details below.

    Hello, if it is redirecting to /me it means you have allowed to share your location (a popup will appear) and so it is redirecting you to the closest city where you are located. You can switch it off in the Advanced search settings

    Ok, I do want people to be able to locate themselves on the site so they can see where they are on the map and find their local results, but I can’t see any use for them being redirected to /me, because it just seems to show every listing in the directory in every category. It could lead to people thinking the site is broken and forgetting what they were trying to look at.

    This is the settings I have at the moment, Is this correct?

    Will people still be able to gelocate themselves easily?
