Using the popular post view widget to display listings from different categories on the home page.

I’m using the widget twice in the home-middle widget area.

1. When I click on the “view all” link on one of them the page displays the list view by default but it looks like it’s leaving room on the right for a sidebar which I don’t want. Even when I switch through the different grid views it still seems that everything is floating left.
1a. How do I set this page to full width?
2a. Also, it adds pagination to the bottom to go to a second page for more results but there’s only 1 or 2 more listings there (only 8 total entries in this category). Is it possible to increase/decrease the number of listings shown on this page?

2. When I click the “view all” link on the other widget it only shows 1 listing/place and we have about 20-25 listings in various categories. What am I missing that they aren’t all displaying?

Thanks for the help. As I’ve said before great work….After reading through the forums I see mention of more thorough documentation and even video tutorials….any time frame on those yet? That would definitely help as there are a lot of variables…

Thanks Again!!!

1a. Remove the sidebar at GD > design > listings https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/core-design/#listings

2a. https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/faqs/how-do-i-change-the-number-of-listings-per-page/

2. I guess you might have navigated to a particular location.
Without seeing the site it is difficult to comment on that one.

1a. is resolved.

1b. is also resolved but just to make it easier for anyone else having the same issue… In order to remove the right sidebar from the listings page DON’T uncheck the box that says “Show the right section of listing page”. Instead…
1. Leave “Show the right section of listing page” checked
2. Decrease the “Width of listing right section” to 0%
3. In crease the “Width of listing content section” to 100%

Guust,

In regards to being able to select multiple categories using the popular post view widget…

You can select multiple categories by holding down the control key. It works because there are multiple categories being displayed on the home page now using this method (either Paolo or Simone told me this). The problem is that the view all link doesn’t display all the categories I have selected…which it should.

If I choose “All” under the categories drop-down in the widget and then click the “view all” link it shows all the listings beautifully. I wish this would work but there is 1 category (expert panel media members) that I don’t want showing up in this section as they are premium members.

On Genesis featured post/page widgets like this you have a field that allows you to include/exclude page/posts/categories using their id’s. This would allow me to click the “All” option while excluding the 1 category I don’t want included.

Is it possible to have this fixed so it works as it should? If I’m allowed to choose multiple categories it should show those categories on the listings page don’t you think?

I’ve purchased a 1 year subscription to all extensions and support and I’ve even given you guys a 5 star rating:-) I guess I’m somewhat begging here but please see what you can do.

Again, I really do appreciate your help.

Guust is correct, there is no way to present a category page with listings from selected categories (unless you show the CPT page which shows listings from all categories) so in that case for the view all it picks up the 1st only.

Thanks

Thanks for the quick response.

Just thought it would be possible as I do this type of thing often with Studiopress/Genesis featured post widget. You can show post from all categories and exclude 1 (or more categories) as you see fit.

Oh well, maybe something I don’t understand….we’ll work around it.

Thanks again for the help.

Thanks Guust!

Yesterday when I changed the settings as I stated above it worked perfectly.

After I updated to v1.4.8 all the content went back to the left leaving room for the right sidebar.

Listing top and right sections are checked on and the width of the right section is set to 0%. The width of the content section is set to 100% and the left section is checked off and it’s width is set to 0%. Still, not full width.

Any thoughts? This is causing the grid views to not render properly.

Feel free to log in and take a look. credentials are above.

Thanks guys!!

some themes override GD design settings and GeoTravel is one of them.

Adding this to GD >> design >> script >> custom css

.post-type-archive-gd_place .content {
    width: 100%;
} 

.post-type-archive-gd_place .geodir_category_list_view li .geodir-content {
    float: left;
    margin-right: 0;
    width: 70%;
}

Will solve it.

Thanks
