GeoTheme is the perfect WordPress Business Directory Script with Geolocation capabilities!
Hello, I’m looking to use your theme for a new series of directories. There are a lot of websites as well as physical stores I’d like to include. Location isn’t a required field is it? Will they still be categorized like the other listings just without a spot on the map?
Also, is there any adsense integration?
Thanks.
Peter
GeoTheme totally relies on addresses and locations… It’s a Geo Theme!
…but is there Adsense integration?
of course!
I am also interested in a Geo Theme without the Geo. More like a directory but without the map. Any plans for something like that?
Thanks,
Andres
Map is a widget. You just remove it!
Hello,
I like what I see so far with this. Great work. Quick question: is there a bulk import feature. I’d like to be able to quickly import many business listings.
Thanks
Rob
Hi Rob, thanks for your interest!
Gald to confirm that a bulk upload system is available.
Best,

Do you have a demo or trial we can sign into to play with it. Also Im really confused about the add ons? Also do you currently have or will have in the near future like iphone apps?
Hi,
you can see a demo here : demo.geotheme.com
If you register, you can open your own playground to test all admin features and yes we will soon have iOs App.
Should be very very soon.
Thanks
Is this open source? Can I change the name to my domain name?
Yes!
1. Do calendar listings allow for multiple categories (per listing)?
2. Can I include my own ads, as opposed to Adsense ads?
Thanks!
Susan
HI Susan,
answer is yes o both questions.
Thanks,
Paolo
Hi, Would you consider adding sagepay to that list of payment gateways? They accept all the major cards AND paypal included. Would make it tons easier for us who use Sage for our accounts to integrate payments in to our software.
We consider adding anything, only if requested by the majority of the users.
Else you can request a group addon on themetailors and see if anyone is also interested.
Thanks,
Paolo
I notice there is only one year of updates included with the purchase. Is there an option for lifetime updates? Things can change a lot in 2 or 3 years.
Hi, extra years of updates and support are charged 69$.
Thanks,
Paolo
Would you consider adding openstreetmaps?
When you say its open source, is it under gpl, apache, etc?
Are you looking to add a local deal feature?
If it will be ever needed we would consider adding openstreetmaps, but now looks like it’s not needed.
It is 100% open source gpl.
We are not looking to add local deal feature, but the developers within the community are discussing that.
Thanks,
Paolo
Can subscription payments from businesses be set up via Paypal on the theme?
Hi,
yes you can!
So I’m excited about your site, something I’ve been wanting to add to my existing content based site for years. Is it easy for dummies like me to use?
Here is what I want, does your site do this –
- members sign up for free, can post reviews and pictures (videos?)
- any general user can also see the reviews without signing in, also each business has its own page that can be possibly found via organic search engines
- adsense available to click to both of these types of visitors
Thanks so much, I’m re-imagining my old stale website now.
Hi,
thanks for your interest.
The answer is yes to all questions!
Cheers,
Paolo
How is Geotheme’s SEO? I haven’t seen any mention of it.
There are basic options for SEO, but any wp plugin for SEO would work just fine, so you can outrank any site if you know how to.
if i want to add products, movies review, is it possible? for product and movie, cannot add address, it will be for worldwide. for buddypress plugin, can i just install plugin or do i need to buy addon?
Not without modifying the main theme. GeoTheme is made for phisical places. Although some f our members modified the theme to list website, which would be more or less the same thing you want to do.
We do not provide customization services, but they do… Once a member you can ask them how they did it.
business owner can add coupons and it will show under description, can i also show all the coupons under one category? user can click that category and see all the coupons from all the business.
Business owner cannot add coupons without the GT Voucher plugin. Even with that I don’t think vouchers can be listed indipendetly by category, but you hsould ask to the voucher plugin developer: http://jeffrose.themetailors.com/store/products/gt-vouchers/
what is the url look like? can the business have url with their business name, like name.mysite.com or mysite.com/name or its that something that i can modify?
URL of places can be whatever you like…
example: http://demo.geotheme.com/city/philadelphia/restaurants/buddakan/
can it be like a subdomain?
username.mysite.com ?
yes of course…
Can the businesses listed in the directory set up their own individual PayPal so they can be paid directly from the directory?
No they can’t… There is no cart integrated.
Paid for what by the way?
For the making money theme, can a shopping cart and a affiliate program be added in with word press plugins? If yes, which plugins will work or do you recommend? I need everything you offer, but also need to sell my clients products and services on the website (not just feature them), plus add and an affiliate program for paid advertisers referrals. Also need video and audio. Is all of this possible?
Hi, the theme is compatible with most plugins, so audio video and ecommerce shouldn’t be a problem, but there is no affiliate module for listings referral. You woud have to customize one to make it work.
Is the theme compatible with UK location settings? Does it accept UK 6/7 digit post codes, or only 5 digit zip codes? Can I change wording like “State” to “County”? I’ve encountered these problems before with other location based services, and they’ve ended up unusable to UK users.
Yes to all questions
Will you be integrating openstreetmaps, as alternative to google maps?
no we will not, unless it becomes strictly necessary
Hi, I like what I see so far.
Can the theme cater for Custom Offline Payment Method (I don’t use Paypal here).
So when a subscriber paid for his listing – they will transfer by bank account transfer. Essentially, the subscriber will separately transfer to my bank account AND inform me that they have made payment – only then the subscription is fully paid.
Hi,
yes it can.
It will set the listing to draft until you receive the payment, than you can set it to go live.
Thanks,
Paolo
Can users add a printable coupon to a directory listing
With this addon : http://jeffrose.themetailors.com/store/products/gt-vouchers/
Hi there
Can you put adds just related to the current city or the adds are just for all the cities. I mean if anybody puts and add about an event in Manchester,would that be seen if I am checking event s in London or just by user who choose Mancherster?
Regards
HI,
there is an addon called “Ad Manager” available on theme tailors, which provides excactly that functionality.
Thx
Hi,
Can I create my own custom post type to use with the theme? And how well does it integrate with Buddypress? I’m looking at bringing in social and community features.
I will be buying the theme on the 6th of next month but have a quick question. Where would I add affiliate merchant tracking codes? ie: after purchaces what is the default ” thank you ” landing page and how much can I edit said page. Thanks
Hi,
thanks for your interest. That can be easily changed in language.php file. A file in the theme that allows to change /translate various text troughout the theme…
Thanks – What is the default thank you landing page? After someone signs up for say a featured listing for 1 month what page do they get after paypal payment? Or do I have to set up a landing page with timed redirection, maybe a sub folder or sub domain?
Another question I have is about the RSS feed. Will the feed include all new listings or just blog posts? (seo)
Sorry for the questions but I need to know what other useful plugins to get before buying your theme.
Cheers
ACtually I forgot about it, but you can modify the success messages from notification serttings within wordpress.
For paying member default is:
Your payment received successfully and your information is published.
View your submitted information ยป
Thank you for becoming a member at [#site_name#].
RSS feed are available for every type of post, blog, places, events and even comments…
Thanks for your help.
Hi, Do u have another language version ?
If not what would be the best way to translate the whole theme ?
hi,
theme can be fully translated in any language following wordpress standard localization procedure. http://codex.wordpress.org/Translating_WordPress
Is there a fly-out menu available for the categories, such as used here…
http://www.thenorthernbeaches.com.au
Not built in, but I believe there are various plugins for wordpress that would make that possible….
at the listing detail page, can i add more custom fields, i’m making restaurant review website, so i want to add information like alcohol serve or not, wheel chair accessible or not, how many seats in the restaurant. i try the play ground site and after i put the custom fields, i dont know where it show.
Please see this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=GSU-3xiD9ZI&noredirect=1
Hi,
I plan to buy your theme, but i have a question before : i need to create custom field and make them required. It is possible to make a custom field required?
Thanks !
not by default, you would have to add few lines of code in validation js file.
Thanks for your response, but how can i do this if i don’t know coding? If i buy your theme, i won’t be able to do that…
You will have to ask a coder to help you make it work as you prefer, we don’t provide customizations.
A few questions:
1. my directory site is going to be hyperlocal – can I set the map on the front to open up on a certain area with a 10 mile radius?
2. Can I add a square logo at the top of the site?
3. Can I change the colours?
4. I don’t want reviews on the site – can this be set as a default (no comments) and the review widget removed?
Hi,
yes to all questions. Change color, for the Child Themes, you must have some css knowledge. There is no wysiwyg editor built in.
Another question! Can I use it on more than one site, or do I have to buy a copy for every directory site I own?
The theme you can use for unlimited sites. For the app you can use it for unlimited personal sites (commercial or not, must be yours). If you intend to resell the app, you need to buy an extra licence for each install.
I am searching for a WP theme suitable for a directory of hosting companies , I wish to know whether your Geotheme will serve my purpose or not.
why not?
Hi,
I tried your demo and I noticed, that there is an “access denied” when I click on “upgrade”, “edit” or “delete” at listings that I added before. Is it supposed to be like that? I’d like my customers to be forwarded on a payment page after clicking on “upgrade” etc…
Cheers
that is how it works. Some Playground features have been restricted.
Hi,
Can I change the language of the theme to dutch?
Hi,
yes it can be translated in any language.
Thx
Awesome theme and love the options.
Can a business owner have more than one special offer?
hi, a plugin made by a community member allows to list vouchers. As many as your advertisers need. http://jeffrose.themetailors.com/store/products/gt-vouchers/
Thx
Awesome! But I’d need to also add a real couponing business system by automatically contacting self-added businesses.
So, is it also possible to use some GROUP COUPONS plugin where you can easily activate a Groupon style business model ?
Thanks for your important reply!
Hi, GeoTheme doesn’t feature a Group coupons system. Probably you could integrate one, but customization isn’t something we offer support for.
Thanks
Is there a way that i can have one single search that covers places-eg place name/town
I would have a directory for places only and geo is not that important-
Hi, you would have to customize how the theme currently work. At present that is not an option.
Thx
Hello, I am interested in buying geotheme, but I need it to translated to the Ukrainian language. I think I ca do it by myself, BUT if I want to upgrade it to the 4-th version will the translation remain or no. If no, what can do, not to translate it once more. And maybe you have got some translation language files?
hi,
translation for v4 and v3 will be similar, but definitely not identical.
I want to know how info is put into the database of this theme. Can I use Yelp API?
Hi,
no, it doesn’t connect to Yelp API at the moment. An extension could be made though. A developer is building all kind of addons to retrieve things from foursquare for example.
Thx
Hi you think that i can use this theme to built a directory in spanish for a big city has Guadalajara, Mexico? in http://www.guadalajara.mx thanks Ruben
absolutely yes.
Thx
I have read most of the questions but still have not noticed what I am asking.
Can the individual business listing be categorized or resulted from a search by a purchase level. I.E. Premium first, then featured, then Standard?
Can this be an option by the business owner when adding their business to the directory? To choose which level they want to purchase?
No, search will return the closer possibile result to user search criteria.
Only category pages can be ordered by featured/ regular listings. But only 2 levels are available (featured / non featured), no matter how many price packages you have.
Thanks
