The GeoDirectory Location Manager is an add-on that complements the GeoDirectory plugin for WordPress, allowing you to create unlimited locations for your directory listings. While the core GeoDirectory plugin, available on WordPress.org, restricts listings to one location (such as a city, town, or village) after installation, the Location Manager enables you to expand your directory to include listings in multiple areas, both locally and globally.
Key features of the GeoDirectory Location Manager add-on include:
- Unlimited Locations: You can create numerous locations for your directory listings, giving you the flexibility to cover a wider geographic range.
- Dynamic Location Creation: There’s no need to pre-populate all locations in advance. Locations are added as new listings are created, and the Google Maps API assists in this process.
- Widgetized Drill-Down Navigator: You can use a widgetized drill-down navigator to allow users to easily navigate to any part of your website and discover relevant listings.
- Location-Specific Pages: A separate location page is created for each location, ensuring that each area gets its own dedicated page.
- Listing Control: You can specify which locations are available for listing submission. You can control listings for specific countries, regions, cities, or a combination of these.
- Location Filtering: Listings can be filtered by countries, regions, cities, and areas, allowing users to search for listings in specific geographic locations.
- Administration Tools: Admins have the ability to manage, add, moderate, or merge locations from the backend. This simplifies tasks like correcting misspelled locations or merging duplicate entries.
The GeoDirectory Location Manager empowers you to create a comprehensive directory that encompasses a wide range of geographic locations, making it a valuable tool for businesses or websites that need to provide location-specific listings. It can enhance the user experience and help users find the information they need based on their geographic preferences.
Please note that GeoDirectory plugins and add-ons are typically available through the official website or authorized sources, and usage should comply with the licensing and terms of service.
