Love is explanation ❤. But is there a way to create custom archive template to display those business by type and location instead of using Facet plugin?

This was a great tutorial thanks. I'm using a similar recipe: Blocksy, ACF, Formidable Forms, Generate Blocks, FacetWP. What do you think of that combo? One thing that's vexing right now is Generate Blocks isn't listing my custom fields in the dynamic content selector. However I am able to enter the id in the post meta field menu. I wonder if there's some way for it to load all my fields into the dropdown so I don't have to copy-paste.

Hi Paul. Great video. I worked my way through it but I get stuck on the Elementor Shortcode or Facet WP. It doesn't work. It shows blank on the page. Is this a compatibility issue or something I missed in your video?

This is awesome, thank you! However, quick question: We are building a directory and would like to bullet point / list services available at each organisation. Is there a way to dynamically for Elementor to change the organisation page according to the data? Ie: Counselling is available at organisation - so "chat" icon and word "counselling" appears? Then in our data we can list many different services, and if in csv file says "yes", then the system knows what to show? Similar to what Airbnb and hotel sites do, to show services at location. Also having an issue with, services near me search, but this question is already long enough lol Many thanks

wow! this is so helpful! thank you!

Hi Paul C. I wonder if there's an update to this tutorial given that it's 3 years old and FacetWP and WPUF must be different now. I'm following your tutorials but thought there may be a newer, better way of achieving the same result. Appreciate your work and I look forward to your reply.

You are awesome. Thanks a lot!

Is there a way you can charge businesses on a subscription for being part of the website with woocommerce and then they have there own account where they can edit the info like pictures etc?

Life saver!!! Thank you!!!

This is great! thanks for this perfect tutorial, all I need !

Very nice.

Hey Paul, is there a way to add an „Open now“ filter for the business with facetWP?

Thnx Paul for this Great Tut, i have a Question: how can i make the Form a Multi Steps form?

Hi, I have carefully followed the tutorial and I have found that when I create a form to insert advertisements from the front end with User Frontend, the Taxonomies fields do not appear, so I cannot associate the advertisement to the right category.
Where did I go wrong?

Hi, very interesting tutorial thank you for sharing it.
There is a less expensive solution for a search plugin in custom fields; Searchwp is very expensive

Do you have a video about creating city pages with E Pro and something else (free versions)?

Buens tardes disculpa la pregunat como puedo hacer en frontend para agregar usuarios, editarlo y que solo el administrador pueda ver una lista de todos los usuarios para editarlo

Hey Paul, does facets can be used for proximity search? If, can you show how? Cheers, Denis

Thank you so much for sharing this valuable insight. I have a question related to site speed. For the amount of plugins installed, do you think it will make the site slower?

Hi WP Tuts! How does Geodirectoy compare to ACF and Jet Engine? I currently have the license for Geodirectory and find it very confusing. Thank you!

Brilliant! - yet again, this is exactly what I am trying to build and your pace and delivery is perfect for following along. There is stuff here I wanted to do but crucially, there are ideas and approaches I never thought of. Thanks again Paul for your unwavering dedication to sharing your expertise.

hi Paul WP User Frontend Pro or ACF Frontend better? both recommended by u

Dear Sir,

I thank you from bottom of my heart for creating such wonderful tutorials.

It has really helped me in creating my websites.

But please, I do request you to make videos on :

1. Piotnet Addons For Elementor ( PAFE ) and it's integration with Elementor and Elementor Pro.

2. Use of PODS plugin in creating Custom Post Types, Custom Fields and it's integration with Piotnet Addons For Elementor ( PAFE ) , Elementor and Elementor Pro.

These all plugins when combined will indeed help me in creating advance websites.

Hope to see more videos from you.

Stay Safe,

With warm regards,

Vivek Kumar

Thanks for the tutorial Paul, is pure gold. I have a question. I am designing a web for a local business association, and I have several custom posts types: businesses, posts (of the blog) and discount coupons. Each of them have a custom design (ele custom skin). The thing is that when a user search the web, I can´t show each of the elements with the custom skin. Do you know how to do this?

I need to show a page where the posts that are close to the location of a visitor are shown, I have a cpt with services and in them I have a location field, it is a field made with acf, so I want it to show all the posts but organized by those closest to the customer’s location, What plugin do you recommend for it?, do you have any video where you do something similar?

Can we get a HUGE update on this? It seems a LOT of things and plugins in here aren't the same way nowadays as they were when you made this.

can i sort the listings by taxonomy? i'm making a car website and the client wants the results shows like this: 1. Vehicles 2.Vans 3.Trucks 4. Pickups ¿is that possible?

hats off! bowed down! huge respect to you sir!!!
I just got a job as a wordpress developer when in reality i'm a laravel developer.
I didn't know nothing about wordpress but somehow got the job.
I was struggling through wordpress it was like cutting a piece of a cake with a sword and was beginning to hate it when i couldn't find any useful help on the internet. whatever problem i used to search it just used to tell me to pay for plugins.
You just cleared almost every confusions i had.
Thanks a lot.

Hi there, im struggling with something to create a custom home page that displays some information about the logged in user with both Elementor Pro and ACF Pro, the thing is that I am adding ACF to a specific user roles and I want that a single page (the home page) displays the custom field depending on the user, for example if the custom field is favorite color i can show the favorite color of the user in the home page, but it does not display anything, can you help me out?

Thank you so much! Was following some older tutorials which no longer work with Elementor 3.1.1 and this was the actual way to do it!

Hi how can we integrate payment on this listing? thank you

Would you be able to include ratings/reviews for the listings, and if so do you have a recommendation for that? Thank you!

Hi Paul. Great video. I worked my way through it but I get stuck on the Elementor Shortcode or Facet WP. It doesn't work. It shows blank on the page. Is this a compatibility issue or something I missed in your video?

Hello! I tried to create a loop with some business listings with elementor custom skin plugin, and define the related title in the first place. When the template first opened, this title appeared at the beginning of the template I created!
How can I remove it and be invisible? I tried to hide it by going to bottom left and press the icon but it does not give a hide title option.
In addition, for some reason when I edit the sections and columns I create, elementor shows me below the blank section (and above the footer), in preview, the loop template itself that I created, for 4 more times. 🤔😔 It's like shows you your template in your video, below of your design, again 4 times repeatedly in a row side by side.
I have defined in settings of my column background image, repeat no repeat, but it keeps showing me this issue. Don't know why. Is this the way it should be or appear? :)
Thanks for your time.

After I created the loop it won't let me tweak the page... where did you tweak it also on elementor publish settings conditions there is no entire site option?

is the only user to add the listings is the administrator? how about customers who wants to list their stores, do they have the power to edit the information or once submitted it is already fixed? thanks

Also, can business owners, who listed their business, adit the listing afterward?

This tutorial is amazing! It helps me a lot! Thank you!
Is WP user frontend pro personal (49€ a year) or professional (89€ a year) necessary?

Is FacetWP a paid plugin now? It looks like it might be? If so, do you still recommend it as the chosen solution for the filters?

Hello Guys, Not able to create new Single

Hello Paul, I'm a big fan of your Tuts (in France, so sorry for my language) !!!
Your videos help me all days for my project, thank you very much 😃😉😇
I am blocked in my wp dev because i need to add woocommerce products in my business listing (my business partners sell their products in my website). How can i link products with business listing ? Have you got an other tutorial for that or some advices ?

Thanks for such enlightening video (as every one I have seen so far from your channel). Does ACF Front End Pro allows to granularly control the access to certain types of businesses depending on the logged in type of user?. Can it prevent the access to the listing to not logged users?
