    Hi

    The widgets I see when I installed Geodirectory can only display one CPT at a time. So I am forced to displayed each CPT separately. For example, I have a CPT called Dive Centre and another one called Liveaboard. For now I can only display the listing from each separately but we wish to combine them on the homepage of the directory.
    Is there a way to display listings from multiple CPTs instead of separating them?

    Thanks

    With GD widgets there is not I’m sorry, all have separate custom DB tables. If you use another WP custom post type widget that queries the regular wp tables, in that case you’ll be able to show title and featured images of listings coming from all CPTs, but not any of their custom fields.

    Thanks

    Hello

    Thank you for your response but I do not understand what you mean by – in that case you’ll be able to show title and featured images of listings coming from all CPTs, but not any of their custom fields
    How do I do this?

    Thanks

    Have a look at something like this: https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-post-type-widgets/
    Other WP plugins will not display any GD data except title and featured images as per Paolo’s post.

    PS: You can add more than one Popular Post widget to your homepage, one for each CPT.

    Just to give a feedback that might be helpful to other people.
    I found out that the Custom Post Type widget you recommend can only display one CPT at a time so it did not work for me. However, I found out that Ultimate Posts Widgets allows multiple CPT selection.
    Thanks
