Using BB to style WPGeodirectory Site with / pages / posts / CPT / search result

I’ve gone through the great info available in forum so far.
I hope to describe this correctly so it can be worked on. I should mention that our goal is to use BB Base theme and do everything with BB as a blank canvas with all your tools. We are trying to connect the plugins and have tried both GD themes and BB theme with same result.

GD is a good product. Both GD and BB claim to be pretty friendly to other plugins and themes so given BB is our new design framework, I started here with the question and observations.

> Appears GD has hard coded a limited number of templates in php for GD functions; input/output, displays related to for the CPT “places” (their default), search boxes, options, results, map and such.

When using any WPGeodirectory theme, Framework or Whoop, no BB actions are available for editing any of the theme pages, home page/page/post/CPT. There is no “page” or “post” called GD Home other than Dashboard >Customize > Static Home Page > List. Using the GD docs,

>GD>Design> Geodirectory home page Check Box Geodirectory home page Set geodirectory home page as your home. This setting has been depreciated and will be removed in the next version, instead please set the GD home page in GD>Permalinks and then set this page to the front page under Settings>Reading>Front Page.

While many functions of the home page are available as widgets, the actual home page is not exposed for BB to work its magic so I created a BB Home page and named it in both places. Default GD output is displayed and Cannot change the layout.

There are GD Widgest available. If I use the GD Widgets I cannot style the output in BB, only their placement in Row/Col. Nothing related to CSS.

Am I missing something major in my face? Do I need to hack into calls and css for BB templates?

If you can help connect the dots i would be eternally grateful.

Hi Jerry,

My apologies for not having a look at this one earlier as this particular framework is not familiar to me :slight_smile:

Anyway, had a look on their site, and may I suggest trying one of the Genesis Child themes (Geo 1280 or Geo Bold) as my testing on other Genesis child themes as mentioned in the other topics (DWB and Altitude Pro) were successful :slight_smile:

Cheers!
Lyle

Hey Jerry,

I just wanted to chime in here. GD generates the pages dynamically so BB won’t be able to style the GD elements. I’m not really sure but they may be tapping on the the_content filter like BB does so it’s either BB gets to style the page, or GD gets to generate the page, not both. Sorry I don’t have a better answer for you. We’ve several threads discussing the same, feel free to check them below.

Does GD offer shortcodes? You can use them inside an HTML module. :slight_smile:
