This is great!
Just wondering if it’s also possible to use the widget to filter Places by categories?
Let’s say when a site have a hundred categories, you don’t want to see any shoe repair services when looking for wine and dine in a certain place.
Cheers,
Ronald
HI Ronald,
Your idea is good and I will discuss with Team and try to add filter for better user experience if any easy and good solution.
Thanks
I did not find any information about how works your plugin. I installed, activated but then what I supposed to do? It is any video?
Under Listings is the Geo Places Plugin and I added 2 pages listing places and places details using the short codes and then?? Thanks
hi jackye,
would you like to get guide on demo site please?
http://wpwebs.com/demo/vantage4/geo-places-guide-for-vantage-appthemes/
Also get installation guide from readme.txt file inside plugin and screen images.
Thanks
Hi
Is there a way to remove the widget from the results page?
Hi Vipul,
I purchased the plugin and was just wondering how I get the ‘Country’ and ‘State’ pages looking the same.
You’ll see in your layout on the two pages is slightly different.
http://www.wpwebs.com/demo/vantage4/country/china/
http://www.wpwebs.com/demo/vantage4/states/beijing/
The country page has all the listings, map etc sitting in a white box and is slightly thinner width wise. The states page is on a transparent background and sits the full width of the site.
I’d like to have the country page the same as the state page. How do I do this?
Thanks.
Richard.
Hi richfinch,
Yes it was problem and we have solved in the next version.
Thanks
Hi
just after buing this plugin i’ve seen that my Vantage is 3.0.7
Is there any way to adopt this plugin to it?
Hi masteroll,
It will work similar as working for 4.0, I am not sure right now but it should work and if you feel problem we will update plugin for you sure.
i very hope to your help. it now installed. But not active.
I used your manual and now when i activate plugin whole site stops working
Hi masteroll,
You don’t worry please send your theme version and wordpress version, and give us 24 hrs so our team will check and confirm the problems.
Thanks
Hi masteroll,, we are still checking the problem, there is no problem for installation but problem created on display pages, we are also improving user guide so it will easy for users to use and plugin setup.
Thanks
Hi Vipul)
What email to send theme and Wp version?
hi masteroll, Please get updated plugin version which is working ok with vantage older version also.
Thanks
Vipul, I Installed new version of plugin. But i can’t understand from manual, where Geo places get data (list of countries or states for example).
I tried different combinations according manual, but still not won
Hi masteroll,
while you go to wp-admin >> plugin settings, we have added details about how to user shortcode and user it. you should user shortcode & create page for country, state & city.
And another page for detail listings. Make sure you have properly set settings and then you should reset permalink settings. and it start working.
To add in menu, you should insert created pages for country, state & city to header menu.
It still getting problem in create page and settings, send me wp-admin temporary login details and url so i will set it for you.
Thanks
Vipul, i’m sorry if it seems to trolling, i try ask another way:
1) I make different pages each one with listings (one for countries, second for states, third for cities)
2) How to connect countries to states and after states to countries?
Let’s says I choose from countries UK, how the i resieve list of cities in UK , and after choosing city from UK cities, how i recieve places in this city?
Thanks for patience
Hi masteroll,
1)Yes 3 different pages one for countries, second for states, third for cities
2) There is no connectivity to get countries to states and after states to countries
We directly display related listings.
Thanks
Hello,
I am interested in this Plugin. Is it possible to charge the listing owner for being featured in a region (instead of the categories)?
Currently Im thinking that I will add the continent->country->city to the categories section so that I can charge the owner if they want to be featured in their city.
If it is possible to charge owners for categories and regions (with your plugin), would be a worthwhile idea to think about.
Thanks
Hi Stephan,
Don’t get what you want with plugin would you like to mention with some example please?
Thanks
Good Morning!
Can I add 200 cities? Will fields from these cities be opened in the form for posts?
No actually the city will display as per listing added address . Not like you add city and display on post form.
When user types in their city and state will your plugin interact with it and show the plugin city? Or plugin is only used with mega menu dropdown.
Thank you,
Russ
Hi Russ,
YES, the plugin will find all the city & states added with published listings and display accordingly to listings & mega menu.
Thanks
Hi Russ Barsalona,
YES, the plugin will find all the city & states added with published listings and display accordingly to listings & mega menu.
Thanks
Ok so I will have to make a separate page for each city? Can I have the resulting listing come up with the city and state together?
Because there are multiple duplicate cities in the US. Brooklyn NY, Brooklyn CT, Brooklyn MI and also Portland ME, Portland OR and numerous others.
