I like the fact that many people like ACADP. However, it needs days of typing works to set up all those cities, states, and countries around the world by typing into the form one at a time instead of importing the list file into the plugin or already provided in it. My target market is all over the world since they are internet related businesses. This is what I really have to do as soon as I installed ACADP into my WP?
I am really afraid of starting that kind of long labor. Is there any solution for this?
How to make location to be required?
Thanks
@suksesi Sorry, currently there is no option to make location field required.

– Very sorry. Our current version doesn’t have any tool to bulk import locations.
But, still, there are some third-party plugins in wordpress.org website those helps to import/export custom post types and taxonomies.
“Advanced Classifieds and Directory Pro” strictly follows all the WordPress standards. The plugin uses Custom Post Types and Custom Taxonomies to manage its data.
Listings = acadp_listings (CPT)
Fields = acadp_fields (CPT) linked to categories and loaded as custom fields in the listings form.
Categories = acadp_categories (Taxonomy)
Locations = acadp_locations (Taxonomy)
and SETTINGS API
So, I’m 100% sure there must be a plugin that handles export for these standard WordPress features and I can find some too. But, I haven’t tried any plugin so far. So, It’s hard to suggest any plugin for you.
Thanks
Hi there,
Thank you for your detailed reply.
I have a good suggestion for you to develop an addition or plugin for the locations and charge it. It will be a win-win situation for everyone as there are nearly 200 countries, at least 1,000 states/provinces, at least 2,000 cities, and thousands, if not tens of thousands, of zip/postal codes around the world to type into. Can anyone type in all that..? However, there are list files in many different formats everywhere and the followings are only a few:
– MySQL normalized and ready-to-use tables of Countries, Regions (Provinces/States), Cities —> https://github.com/prograhammer/countries-regions-cities
– Countries and Regions of the World from A to Z —> https://www.nationsonline.org/oneworld/countries_of_the_world.htm

– International Cities and Capitals around the World. —> https://www.nationsonline.org/oneworld/cities.htm
Best.
