 * I’ve been actively working on this for the last few days, so it’s changing rapidly.
   This link demonstrates how I solved it by using the shortcodes plugin to create
   custom fields and then hooking those into GoogleMapsCP. I’m trying to create 
   hooks so that when we are on the trail (and away from computers), we can use 
   our satellite communicators to automatically update our location for our families
   back home.
 * As far as geolocation, I think I got this one licked. Now I’m working on extracting
   EXIF data from pictures so that they can be geolocated as well. Do you have any
   facilities in Postie that will read EXIF data from posted pics?

 * Actually, it does work as described with one issue – not able to display the 
   post_title as the link text. I found the problem was that I was calling the_title()
   rather than get_the_title(). Here’s the working function:
 *     ```
       add_shortcode( 'return_controls', 'build_controls');
   
       function build_controls($atts, $content = null, $tag = '') {
           $family = shortcode_atts( array(
       		'family' => 'Default Family'
       	), $atts);
   
           //return $family['family'];
   
       	$control_query_params = array(
       		'post_type' => 'control',
       		'orderby' => 'control_identifier',
       		'order' => 'ASC',
       		'tax_query' => array(
       			array(
       				'taxonomy' => 'control-group',
       				'field' => 'slug',
       				'terms' => $family
       			)
       		)
       	);
   
       	//return $control_query_params;
       	$query = new WP_Query( $control_query_params );
   
       	$output = '<ul>';
       	if ($query->have_posts()) {
       		while ($query->have_posts()) {
       			$query->the_post();
       			// do something
       			$mytitle = get_the_title() . ' (' . rwmb_get_value( 'control_identifier' ) .')';
       			$output .= the_shortlink($mytitle, $mytitle, '<li>', '</li>' );
       		}
       	} else {
       		// no posts found
       		$output .= 'No controls found.';
       	}
   
       	$output .= '</ul>';
           return $output;
       }
       ```

 * Hmm. The homepage is a custom homepage that is edited with widgets that came 
   with the theme and I don’t think it is “owned” by anyone, since it’s technically
   not a page. Is there a workaround? I could make another page the “homepage” of
   the site, but wouldn’t have the nifty features of the theme I paid for.
 * Is there a way to disable author checking?

 * I have a slightly different problem, but it may be related to this. On my site,
   I’ve embedded the shortcode:
 * `[tsmap id=3]`
 * In a page:
 * [http://nwes.rocks/wheres-adaptiman/](http://nwes.rocks/wheres-adaptiman/)
 * and it works fine. The same shortcode is embedded on the homepage:
 * [http://nwes.rocks/](http://nwes.rocks/)
 * and a map displays, but it’s a map of Europe, not the track specified. So it 
   looks like the maps are loading, but the track isn’t.
 * Any ideas why this would happen?

 * [@scribu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scribu/):
 * Yes, county is a meta taxonomy term and Houston is a value entered for that taxonomy
   term in a post, so the search URL
 * [http://domain.tld/?county=Houston](http://domain.tld/?county=Houston)
 * should pull up at least that post.
 * Incidentally, if you enter:
 * [http://domain.tld/?s=Houston](http://domain.tld/?s=Houston)
 * which is the standard search URL, it returns the posts that have ‘Houston’ in
   them. In other words, the standard search format works.

 * I’m trying to patch the importer to work with WPMU. The only obvious change that
   I can see in the code is to change the name of the postmeta table to follow the
   WPMU naming convention. So in the file, wherever I see
 * $wpdb->postmeta
 * I’ve changed it to
 * $wpdb->wp_1_postmeta
 * This is a quick hack that would only run the script for the first blog, but it
   should work. When I run it, I get the error:
 * Successfully imported 0 podcasts.
 * Does anyone else see any other changes that are necessary to get the importer
   to work with WPMU?

 * I found a solution to this. If you go the db interface and reset the password
   for your user using an MD5 hashing function. You’ll be able to login with the
   password. The system will automagically do it’s thing to transform the MD5 password
   into the WP2.5.1 munged version the first time you login, however that happens.
