 * Had the same problem. then spoke with itthinx.com (great guys, brilliant service
   and some awsome plugins). They just helped me out.
    the solution to the ‘not 
   searching’ was easy activate the permalinks. I changed mine from defualt to posts
   and it started working. The back link is a bit more difficult so for the momment
   you can add entryback=”” to your shortcode and this should loose the link. you
   users can then defer to the back button or you could add a back html button to
   the template. although i dont know what template. If anyone else figures this
   bit out let me know.

 * The white text is just a css issue can be resolved by opening.
    wp-content/plugins/
   business-directory-plugins/css/wpbusdirmann.css/ search for line #lco .title 
   input and change color: #ffffff to colour:#000000 for black.
 * I am just trying to get the search to actually work does your search actually
   produce results?

 * Problem sorted. The original coding was done using $ commands so i removed all
   of these and substituted them for the standard wordpress coding `<?php query_posts('
   cat=4&showposts=15&paged='.$paged); ?><ul class="latest-posts"><?php if (have_posts()):
   while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>`
    thank you for your assistance alachymyth

 * Hi alchymyth
    When i implimented the change I get a syntex error blank page display
   Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING, expecting ‘)’
   in /home/phat/public_html/wp-content/themes/theme1122/page_home.php on line 30.
   30 is the modified line It is definately the right template as i have been changing
   various elements on it. The site is [http://www.cre8ivdesign.co.uk](http://www.cre8ivdesign.co.uk)
   and the template operates directly on the front page controling the image grid.
