Add Zip Code Search

### 1. **Enable Location Settings**
Make sure you have enabled location settings in GeoDirectory. You can do this by going to:

**WordPress Dashboard** > **GeoDirectory** > **Settings** > **General** > **Location Manager**:
– Ensure **Post Code** is enabled in the "Address Fields" section.

### 2. **Modify the Search Bar**
To include zip code in the search bar, you'll need to adjust the settings of the main search form:

**WordPress Dashboard** > **GeoDirectory** > **Design** > **Search** > **Search Form**:
– Here, you can add or customize fields to the search bar.
– Add a **Custom Field** for the zip code if it's not already present.

### 3. **Customize the Search Behavior**
If you need to tweak the functionality further, such as ensuring the zip code field is searchable, you can do this via custom code.

Add the following code snippet to your **theme's `functions.php`** file or via a custom plugin:

add_filter('geodir_search_fields', 'gd_add_zipcode_search_field');
function gd_add_zipcode_search_field($search_fields) {
    $search_fields['gd_postcode'] = array(
        'title' => __('Zip Code', 'geodirectory'),
        'type' => 'text',
        'field' => 'gd_postcode',
        'compare' => 'LIKE',
    );
    return $search_fields;
}

### 4. **Update the GeoDirectory Search Template (Optional)**
If the zip code search field is not showing up, you may need to customize the search template file.

– Go to your active theme directory: `/wp-content/themes/your-theme/`
– Locate the `geodirectory/search.php` file. If it doesn't exist, copy it from the GeoDirectory plugin folder: `/wp-content/plugins/geodirectory/templates/search.php`.
– Edit the file and include the zip code search field:

<input type="text" name="s" placeholder="<?php esc_attr_e('Enter zip code', 'geodirectory'); ?>" />

### 5. **Clear Cache & Test**
– Clear your website and browser cache.
– Test the main search bar to ensure it is correctly filtering by zip code.

This approach should allow your GeoDirectory search bar to include and search by zip code effectively.

### Here's how you can enable and use search by zip code:

#### 1. **Install the GeoDirectory Location Manager Add-On**
You need to install the **Location Manager** add-on to use zip code searches:

– Go to **WordPress Dashboard** > **Plugins** > **Add New**.
– Search for "GeoDirectory Location Manager".
– If you have a license, download the add-on from the [GeoDirectory website](https://wpgeodirectory.com/downloads/location-manager/) and upload it.
– Click **Install Now**, then **Activate**.

#### 2. **Configure Location Manager**
Once installed, configure the settings:

– Go to **WordPress Dashboard** > **GeoDirectory** > **Location Manager**.
– Under the **Address Fields** section, make sure the **Post Code** (Zip Code) field is enabled.
– Save the changes.

#### 3. **Enable Zip Code Search in the Search Form**
You may need to adjust the search form settings:

– Navigate to **WordPress Dashboard** > **GeoDirectory** > **Design** > **Search** > **Search Form**.
– Add a new field for **Zip Code** if it's not already present:
– Choose **Post Code** as the field type.
– Set up the placeholder text, such as "Enter Zip Code".
– Save the changes.

#### 4. **Test the Search Feature**
– Clear any caching if you have a caching plugin enabled.
– Test the search bar on the front end to ensure it accepts zip codes and displays relevant results.

### If You Don't Have the Add-On
If you do not have access to the **Location Manager** add-on, you can use a workaround by adding a custom field for the zip code and modifying your search template. However, the built-in zip code functionality requires the add-on for accurate geolocation-based searches.
