Theme Installation
Like any other child theme, Cityguide can also be installed using three ways.
1) Easy Install (Recommended)
2) Traditional Install
3) Installing Cityguide with FTP
Method 1 : Easy Install
The easy install is the simplest and recommended way to install and activate the theme. You can install the theme with just few clicks.
- Download the Cityguide Easy Install file from the member’s area by logging into your account.
- From your WordPress dashboard, navigate to Appearance ⇒ Themes ⇒ Add New ⇒Upload. Upload the .zip file you just downloaded.
- Activate the Cityguide theme and NOT the directory theme once the installation process is done.
Activating the theme
- You can activate the theme directly after installing it. Remember : For using the child theme you don’t have to activate the Directory theme. Just install it. Activate only the child theme “Cityguide”.
- Or you can navigate to Appearance ⇒ Themes and Activate the Cityguide theme.
- Once the theme is activated, you will be asked for the verification key. The verification key can be found from the members’ area from where you download the theme. screenshot.
Installing Dummy data
Dummy data is the sample data that is available with the theme file. On getting the theme activated, you will be asked whether you want to populate the site with the dummy data. This data will populate the theme with sample data to make it appear just like the Theme Demo.
Deleting the sample data
The sample data that you install on the theme activation can be deleted. Do not edit the dummy data because in case you delete it, your modifications will be lost. Always insert fresh data.
Method 2: Traditional Install
Installing City Guide theme
Because the Cityguide child theme is powered by Directory, you will have to install Directory in order to use the child theme. For Directory installation instructions watch the video below.
Quick note: The video will instruct you to activate Directory as the last step of installation process. Feel free to skip that part (just install Directory, don’t activate it).
Installing Cityguide

Method 3: FTP install
To install the Cityguide using FTP, follow the steps given below:

Setting up permalinks
Permalinks are the permanent URLs for your webpages. With Directory theme, you can easily manage the permalink structure of your web-pages. In this section, steps for setting up permalinks are shown.

Users Management
For any website, user registration is one of the main modules. In this section we will see how we can manage the registration and users on our website. The registered users will be the ones to post listings on your website. So let’s see how you can manage them.
Enable disable registration
To allow or disallow registration, Navigate to Wp-admin ⇨ Settings ⇨ General settings ⇨ Membership. Checkmark “Anyone can register” to enable front-end registration on your website. If unchecked, the website will not allow users to register on the frontend.

When the registration link is clicked, a pop-up will appear that will show the fields to enter the username and the email address. the password to login will be sent to the submitted username. To manage the User profile custom fields, navigate to Tevolution ⇨ Custom fields ⇨ User Profile fields.

Location Management
The listings added to the Cityguide website will be based on the location. Therefore, before we proceed with adding and managing listings, these are few location related settings.
Countries and States
To add and manage countries and states, navigate to “Countries” and “States” tabs inside the Tevolution ⇨ Manage Locations section. Probably, you’ll find the country in the preloaded countries but if you don’t you can create a new country easily. Similarly at Tevolution ⇨ Manage Locations ⇨ States, you can add the states to the country.
Add a city
Unless you add the cities, the listings won’t be submitted. Therefore, before we proceed on how to add and manage listings, we need to add the cities. Three default cities are provided with the Location Manager, but you can add as many cities as you want. To add cities navigate to Tevolution ⇨ Manage Locations ⇨ Cities. Before adding cities, don’t miss adding the Country and the state to which the city belongs. Click here to set up the cities.

Bulk upload cities
If you do not wish to add the cities one by one, use the bulk upload option. Using the bulk upload feature, you will be able to insert a number of cities together using a CSV file.
Single-city mode
If you plan on using Cityguide for a single city only, deactivate the location manager plugin from wp-admin ⇨ plugins ⇨ Installed plugins. Don’t forget to replace your map widgets with “single city” map widgets. Without the Tevolution – Location Manager plugin, your URLs won’t have the /city/city_name slug within them.
If you do not require to display the listings of multiple cities and only want to maintain a single city listings guide, then disable the Location Manager plugin. This will enhance the performance and fetch noticeably faster results.

Frequently Asked Questions specific to City Guide
How to change the custom post type detail page layout to look like the CityGuide detail page?
By default, Directory will load the parent theme’s layout for all new custom post types (more specifically, their detail pages). To change this behavior, i.e. to use the layout of your child theme follow these steps:
- Connect to your server and navigate to /wp-content/themes/CityGuide
- From that folder download these two files to your hard drive: single-listing.php and directory-listing-single-content.php.
- On your hard drive rename the files to single-SLUG.php and directory-SLUG-single-content.php.SLUG = the slug you set while creating the new post type. Screenshot.
For example, if you set the post type slug to be testimonial, the file names should be single-testimonial.php and directory-testimonial-single-content.php. - Upload the two renamed files to the same folder where you downloaded them from – /wp-content/themes/CityGuide. Do not delete the existing single-listing.php and directory-listing-single-content.php files.
How to setup City Guide so it looks like the demo site?
The quickest way to do this is to load the sample data from Appearance ⇨ Themes. Click on the big blue Insert sample data button to load the sample content. The content added to your site consists not only of listings, post and pages, but also widgets. Once you click on that sample data button your homepage should transform into one that looks very close to our demo.
Can’t load sample data?
If for some reason you can’t rely on sample data to populate the homepage with widgets, here’s a list widgets and widget areas that make up the homepage.
| Widget area | Widgets placed inside it |
|---|---|
| Header | T – Search by Address |
| Mega Menu Navigation | jQuery Mega Menu (click here for details) |
| Homepage Slider | T – Homepage map – multi city |
| Home Page Content – Left | T – Homepage Display Posts |
| Home Page Content – Right | T – Homepage Slider |

| Homepage Sidebar | T – Advertisements, Categories, T – Popular Posts |
| Footer One Column | Text |
| Footer 2 Column | Categories (x2) |

How to set a custom background?
The background in City Guide can be changed from the Appearance ⇨ Customize section. When you open the section, expand the Background Settings area, click on No Image and then on the select a file link. Locate an image on your hard drive and upload it. Once the upload is done tweak the available options (repeat, position, etc) and hit the Save & Publish button at the top.
Quick Tip: Use FullHD images (width = 1920px) for the background image. An image of that size should look good on the majority of screen sizes.
Why aren’t colors in my theme showing up as they do on the demo?
Theme activation process can mess up the colors a bit on certain servers (we’re not sure why). If your theme colors don’t look normal (for example, the header is purple instead of white) follow these steps to fix the issue
- Connect to your server via FTP
- Navigate to /wp-content/themes/Directory/library/css and open the admin_style.css file
- Delete all contents of that file
- Save the progress and upload the file
If that doesn’t help please submit a thread inside the contact us, we’ll take a closer look.
How to change the purple “FEATURED” stripe?
That mark on all featured listings is an image. The best way to change the stripe is to replace it with an image of your own. To make the replacement connect to your server and navigate to /wp-content/themes/cityguide/images. The image name is featured-tag-img.png. Now you need to upload your own image with exactly the same name (including the extension) onto the server and overwrite the existing one.
