    Hi,

    We’re in the process of migrating our GeoTheme site over to GeoDirectory and it’s quite challenging due to all the differences.

    We currently are using a We Recommend Widget on our homepage on GeoTheme and wanted to find out what we can use in GD to accomplish the same results?

    Please explain.

    Thank you,
    Robert

    That is replaced with the GD Listing Slider widget.

    Instead of adding URL and image url, it pulls them from listings directly.

    Let us know if that helps.

    Thanks

    Hi Paolo,

    Thank you for your reply.

    Hi, we were using the We Recommend widget to display images and links over to our Daily Deals site, not for showing featured listings. Will we still be able to do this?

    Please explain.

    Thank you,
    Robert

    No, but I’ve flagged this for Stiofan, he said he can add the we recommend widget very quickly.

    He’ll let you know asap.

    Thanks

    Hi Robert,

    That widget is basically the same as this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/nivo-image-slider/

    Hi Stiofan,

    Thank you! I just installed it on our test site and activated the plugin but i’m not seeing it as an option in the Widgets Homepage section to set it up.

    How is it supposed to work in the Widgets area?

    Thank you,
    Robert

    Hi Robert,

    There is a video tutorila on the bottom of the plugin page on how to create a slider, i am not sure if it lets u add it diret as a widget but if not you can add the shortcode to a text widget and if it does not work just add this line to your theme functions to enable shortcodes in text widgets.

    
    
    // Enable shortcodes in widgets
    add_filter('widget_text', 'do_shortcode');

    Thanks,

    Stiofan
