Geodirectory Places Shortcode

The following shortcode is a generic version of a customized snippet/plugin created with the use of ChatGPT to display any kind of listing that has been created using the Geodirectory plugin for WordPress, being used on a multisite installation.

This screenshot is an example of how it is used:

This is an example of the shortcode in use:

It can through the shortcode block display a title with image that links back to the original “listing” created on a main site to a network of sites across a WordPress Multisite installation. The custom version of this is providing classified listing display on several sites and has been tested thoroughly before being released.

This shortcode needs the Register Post Types for Geodirectory must-use plugin.

This snippet was activated using the Code Snippets plugin.

Here’s an example of how it is used:
