Summary :
The GeoDirectory Options – More Linked Posts feature allows listing owners to quickly create related listings from their existing listing detail page. It adds a direct link that opens the Add Listing form with the Linked Post field automatically pre-filled, making it ideal for connections like businesses adding events, offers, or other related content.
With wpapps Press and wpapps GeoDirectory Options enabled, administrators can activate this feature and add the Additional Link Posts custom field within CPT settings. The field appears on frontend Add and Edit Listing forms, allowing linked content to be managed easily.
The system also supports multiple shortcode-based widgets—such as Additional Linked Posts, Perks Post Meta, Single Category, and Location Meta widgets—so linked data, post metadata, categories, and location details can be displayed dynamically across the site.
This setup improves content linking, streamlines listing creation for owners, and enhances directory structure by connecting related posts in a simple, automated way.
