On your marketplace, location can be present in multiple steps and features. Location is present in the listings page, home, and search page, etc
However, your marketplace may not need these. For example, if your website is about products that will always be shipped, about services online, or about digital transactions, the location of the listing or members is not relevant. You can disable all the location features listed above from your Admin panel
Go to Admin-> Site Setup
Open the “Search Preference” under the Listing Settings.
Make the toggle Off for the following setting “Allow users to add a location to their profile and listings, and show a map view on the search page”
That’s it, All the location features will be disabled
The location will no longer be asked when creating a listing
The map view will no longer be visible on listing pages
The map view will no longer be possible
The location search will be disabled and the keyword search will then be enabled.
