wpapps GeoDirectory Options
3. Basic Setup
By default, the GeoDirectory submit button always reads “Submit”, regardless of context. Enabling this option makes the process more user-friendly and descriptive, especially on sites with multiple Custom Post Types (CPTs). It helps users quickly recognize the current action and prevents confusion when managing listings.
4. Enabling the Setting
To enable this feature:
-
Navigate to wpapps → GeoDirectory → General Settings
-
Enable the option:
“Change Submit Button Label on Add/Edit Listing Page”. Once enabled, the label will automatically adjust according to the page type and CPT setup.
5. Add Listing Page
This is the frontend view when adding a new listing.
The submit button will display either:
-
“Add Listing”, or “Add CPT Single Listing”, depending on your CPT configuration. This ensures that the button label aligns with the type of content being created.
6. Edit Listing Page
This is the frontend view when editing an existing listing. The submit button label dynamically changes to “Update Listing”, indicating that the listing already exists and is currently being modified.
- This distinction provides users with clear visual feedback about the editing state of their content.
Summary :
The GeoDirectory Options – Customize Submit Button Label feature improves frontend clarity by changing the default “Submit” button text to match the user’s action. Instead of a generic label, the button updates based on whether a user is adding or editing a listing and according to the Custom Post Type (CPT).
With wpapps Press and wpapps GeoDirectory Options enabled, administrators can activate this setting in General Settings. The Add Listing page will show labels like “Add Listing” (or CPT-specific variations), while the Edit Listing page displays “Update Listing.”
This setup makes the submission process clearer, reduces user confusion, and provides better visual feedback during listing creation and editing.
