Hi @bosskland

I’m sorry to hear that you ran into issues with this!

This looks like it may be a conflict or cache issue. I see two errors on that page — one from autooptimize and one from your theme.

We recommend clearing the server cache if you have one (which is found either in your hosting settings or on your plugin settings for things like WP Super Cache and W3TC if you have them installed), as well as your client browser cache.

The best way to get uncached data on your browser is to use a Private Browsing window or Incognito mode (depending on your browser). That ensures you’re seeing the latest, correct data.

If that doesn’t resolve the issue, will you check if you have the same issue under these conditions?
– all other plugins deactivated
– any custom code removed
– WP 2020 theme active
– running the current version of Business Directory Plugin 
– running the current version of WordPress
– all site, server, and browser caches cleared

If you do have the same issue under those conditions, please let me know.

Please try that and let me know what you find.

Hi @elodie66

Thank you for posting here! I can help you here, no problem.

Please go to Directory > Settings > Listings > Categories and be sure that this setting is UN-checked: Show only parent categories in category list?

Please try that and let me know if you run into more issues.

Hi @joeknife

Thanks for your patience on this while I was checking with our developer to see if this was possible.

It looks like it would be possible with this hook that isn’t yet documented: wpbdp_listing_search_parse_request.

Since this is a common request, we may be able to add an example in the docs to get you started. Is that something that would be helpful for you?

Thanks for that @sjf Can you tell me how you hacked the plugin to make that happen? It has always been a requirement of the plugin that a category be selected.

Hi @renato11165

Thanks for your question.

If you do to Classified Ads > Categories you can get the hyperlinks by clicking on the category names there.

I hope that helps!

Hola @ renato11165

Gracias por tu pregunta

Si lo hace en Anuncios clasificados> Categorías, puede obtener los hipervínculos haciendo clic en los nombres de las categorías allí.

¡Espero que eso ayude!

Thanks so much for your kind words here @reneyoung We appreciate great customers like you! 🙂

Hi @rajeevbagra2025

Sorry to hear that you ran into issues with this! I went to the site but got a 404 error. Did you take it down?

Please let me know if you’d like further assistance here.

Hi @robbiepress

Thanks for your question.

We removed location as a field over a year ago because it was not supposed to be there, and because it was causing a lot of confusion and errors, unfortunately.

If you’d like to have location data on your ads, you have a few options:

1. Use the Free plugin: Add text to the Ad Details field to explain to users that they should include location information in their ads.

2. Purchase the Regions Module, as it was built specifically for adding location data to ads, and will give you the most flexibility. You can learn more about that module here: https://awpcp.com/downloads/regions-module/

3. Purchase the Extra Fields Module and add any region-type data you’d like. Although this does not offer as many options for sorting listings by location as the Regions Module does, this would allow you to create a field and include the location data you’d like, and would also allow you to add other types of fields that are specific to your site. You can learn more about that module here: https://awpcp.com/downloads/extra-fields-module/

I hope that helps. Please let me know if you have any other questions or issues!
