Hi,
hard to tell without having a look at the website. The GD home page is composed of widgets, do you have any widgets in GD > Home Top Section and GD > Home Content Section?
If yes it could be a css issue, you could try:
#gd-wrapper {overflow:visible;}
If you register in our support forum and open a topic about this there, you will be able to provide URL and admin credentials in a private reply that only our staff can read. We will be more than happy to look at it and debug it for you.
Let us know,
Thanks
Thanks very much for your support, that’s what I was not understanding: the content areas are widgets. I presumed the directory page would just be pre-populated initially with the demo content out of the box…content is now showing fine, I did not realize I had to populate the widget areas with GD widgets.
One other quick question: are there any potential significant conflicts with GD if I add these widgets to my own widget areas in a custom template? It looks like I need to do some layout alignment to make things go along / look good with the client’s current template system…putting your widgets in my own custom widget areas should do the trick along with a bit of CSS.
Thanks very much for your time, I appreciate it.

Hi,
when adding dummy data, widgets are normally added too. Strange if it didn’t on your website.
Conflicts with other plugins and scripts are always possible, but our widgets should work in any widget area of your theme, you could also use our shortcodes: https://docs.wpgeodirectory.com/core-shortcodes/
Let us know how you went!
Thank you
Thanks, I did notice you had shortcodes too…could come in handy. It could have been the widgets were not in place because the client deactivated the plugin before we migrated to a different hosting service, because it ran slow on godaddy shared hosting. I wasn’t their webmaster when they activated / deactivated it at godaddy, so I don’t have detailed info related that. I just reactivated it at the new hosting service, after upgrading it.
Thanks again for the support, I think we are all set to build her business directory now. :o) I’ll try and remember to post our results when completed.
Everything went great once I realized the plugin was widget-driven…no need to create any custom theme files at all. The only thing I did encounter was an issue with breadcrumbs on inner pages, since we are NOT using the site homepage for the main directory page. I read your docs, and came up with a snippet to add to the theme functions.php file that fixed that for me:
add_filter('geodir_breadcrumb','geodir_breadcrumb_remove',10,2);
function geodir_breadcrumb_remove($breadcrumb, $separator){
return preg_replace("/mydomain.com\"\>Home/i", "mydomain.com/directory\">Directory", $breadcrumb);
}

Awesome, thanks for letting us know! 🙂
I am also having a slight issue with the plugin which i feel is the best i have come across so far. I think its something to do with theme compatibility. Some of the listings are partially hidden when i access them from one of the widgets.
E.g http://www.kikuyuward.com/places/local-business/
The user registration fields are also not fully visible. Would appreciate if i got some assistance on this. Would be interested in paying for the addons once its fully operational
