GeoDirectory Alphabetical Order

### 1. **Use a Code Snippet**
You can modify the query used by GeoDirectory using the `geodir_filter_widget_listings_args` or `geodir_filter_archive_args` filter. Add the following code to your theme's `functions.php` file or a custom plugin:

function custom_geodir_alphabetical_order($query_args) {
    if (is_search() || geodir_is_page('search')) { 
        $query_args['orderby'] = 'title'; 
        $query_args['order'] = 'ASC'; 
    }
    return $query_args;
}
add_filter('geodir_filter_widget_listings_args', 'custom_geodir_alphabetical_order');
add_filter('geodir_filter_archive_args', 'custom_geodir_alphabetical_order');

### 2. **Explanation of the Code**
– `is_search()`: Checks if the current page is a search results page.
– `geodir_is_page('search')`: Ensures that this applies to GeoDirectory search results.
– `orderby`: Orders the results by the title of the posts (default is post title).
– `order`: Sets the order to ascending (`ASC`).

### 3. **Test the Results**
– Perform a search using GeoDirectory and confirm that the results are ordered alphabetically by the title.

### 4. **Adjust for Specific Widgets or Pages (Optional)**
If you need this for specific widgets or templates only, you can further customize the conditions in the function. For example, add checks for specific widget IDs or template files.

### **Option 1: Enable GeoDirectory Map on the Search Page via Settings**
1. Go to your WordPress Dashboard.
2. Navigate to **GeoDirectory > Settings > General**.
3. Locate the **Map Settings** section.
4. Ensure the option **Show Map on Search Page** is enabled (or similar, depending on your version).
5. Save the changes.

—

### **Option 2: Add the Map Manually to the Search Page Template**
If the map is not displaying, you can add it manually to the search page template.

1. Locate your theme's search results template. It may be named something like `search.php`, `archive.php`, or a GeoDirectory-specific template like `archive-geodir.php`.
2. Add the GeoDirectory map shortcode or function.

#### Using Shortcode:
Add the following shortcode where you want the map to appear:

<?php echo do_shortcode('[gd_map]'); ?>

#### Using GeoDirectory Map Function:
If you're customizing a PHP template, use this function:

if (function_exists('geodir_show_map')) {
    echo geodir_show_map();
}

### **Option 3: Display the Map via a Widget**
You can also use the GeoDirectory map widget to add a map to the sidebar or a widgetized area.

1. Go to **Appearance > Widgets** in your WordPress Dashboard.
2. Look for a widget named **GeoDirectory Map**.
3. Drag it to the desired widget area (e.g., "Search Page Sidebar").
4. Configure the widget settings and save.

—

### **Option 4: Customize the Page with a Page Builder**
If you're using a page builder (e.g., Elementor, Divi, or WPBakery), you can:
1. Add a new section or widget to the search results page layout.
2. Insert the GeoDirectory map shortcode `[gd_map]` or use the builder’s GeoDirectory map module (if available).

### **Additional Notes:**
– If the map does not display after following these steps, ensure that GeoDirectory's map scripts are being loaded. Check for conflicts with other plugins or themes.
– If using a caching plugin, clear the cache to ensure changes take effect.
– Customize the map settings (like zoom level or filters) in **GeoDirectory > Settings > Map Settings**.
