In reply to: [Post Grid] Question about "Read more" buttonFigured this out! Thanks!!
I figured this out! Actually, you had previously answered my question on this.
To anyone else with this issue you need to paste the shortcode in the Text mode and NOT the Visual mode!!!
Thanks Joe!

In reply to: [Simple Job Board] Where do template files go if I want to customize them?I am still not clear on what you mean.
1) inside the “simple_job_board” folder in my theme do I need to also duplicate your subfolder structure or not? In the files they indicate I do need to have the subfolders.
2) does this work in a child theme or only in the parent theme?

In reply to: [Simple Job Board] Application Will Not SubmitTelling someone they did something wrong and saying they should go fix whatever they did wrong is NOT support! It is the opposite of support! As I said I understand you do not help with customization and that is ok. I get that we cannot expect much support from a plug like this in the WordPress site. Sorry I bothered you.

In reply to: [Simple Job Board] Application Will Not SubmitI understand you do not help with customizations but it just seems a little strange when asked a question to say “you did something wrong” and then immediately mark the question resolved! Nothing resolved about it yet!

In reply to: [Simple Job Board] How to make it use my default templates?Thank you for your kind response! Do you have an estimated schedule for this new release?

In reply to: [Simple Job Board] How to make it use my default templates?It seems like a standard answer you give. And that’s cool. But I am trying to understand why I install this plugin WP Job Manager and it just works instantly exactly like my blog posts with the proper sidebar and background. But your plugin does something completely different. Why is it working so different than most other plugins I have added to my site? Is it defaulting to a different template? Can I tell it to simply use my standard single.php template?

In reply to: [My Calendar - Accessible Event Manager] Could be good, who knowsI have used My Calendar for some time and it is great! It works well out of the box and the built-in documentation is just fine to get it working. Plus, the author is quite helpful and responsive!
And after using the calendar for some time I did buy the documentation to support the author! It is a TINY price to pay for such a great plugin and such great support! Plus it has lots of additional info on how to take the calendar even further!

In reply to: [US Weather Widget - WillyWeather] WillyWeather stopped working after updateWhen you go to their Create a Widget page all of the live examples are failing too. Seems like a server issue on their end.
It is down on their website too. I emailed them. We will be installing an alternate if we don’t get this resolved quickly. Will post again here later.
If you find a solution in the meantime please post!

In reply to: [My Calendar - Accessible Event Manager] Template for Popup?Hi Joe! Just curious if this is a near-term item or a longer-term one. I have turned off the popups because they are not responding to the template but it would be nice to use them. Thanks!

In reply to: [My Calendar - Accessible Event Manager] Map Link Does Not Go To MapOh, that’s too bad. I think most people are just going to assume that changes to a location would be automatically reflected in the event that has that location assigned to it. I guess I will just have to be very careful that all locations are entered perfectly before using them in events. If you ever change this I would really like to get that update!
And regarding the historical accuracy issue, if you do change how this works in the future, it should be pretty straightforward to simply update upcoming events with the updated location info and leave past events with the old info. Even there I’d prefer to let the user decide because I would bet most of the time the correction to a location will apply retroactively as locations do not often change, rather, a data entry error is far more likely and an error should be corrected retroactively I would think!
Regarding the invalid link you can see this easily if you go through the steps I outlined. Or, even simpler,
-create a location with only a name (or any that has an invalid address but leaving out address is the quickest way to see this issue)
-assign that location to an event
-go to that event’s details page and you will see the map link but it does not go to Google Maps (in the code it has a href=”)It would be nice if the link is going to be empty anyway, due to an empty location address or an invalid one or whatever reason, that it simply not be displayed.
Thanks for your support!

In reply to: [My Calendar - Accessible Event Manager] Map Link Does Not Go To MapHi Joe! My site is on a test server so I cannot provide a live link but I did a little investigating today and I think I know why this is happening.
So, the problem is a little different than I thought and perhaps a two-parter. When I give a valid address or include the valid lat/lon and then assign a location to an event it seems to work just fine.
BUT, when I make any change to a location (add lat/lon, correct address, etc.) the events that have that location assigned to them are not changing! They still have the old location information.
To see this do the following,
1) create a location and give it a bogus address with no lat/lon
2) create an event and assign the location from #1 to it
3) look at the event’s details page and you will see the map link now links to the calendar instead of a map. the link does not even contain google maps in it at all.
4) open the location and change the address and/or lat/lon to be a correct location that Google can find and save the location
5) look at the event’s details page and you will still see the old info and a broken map link
6) open the event for editing and you will see in the location dropdown there is nothing assigned there
7) assign the updated location and everything works
So, hopefully there are two things you can look into addressing here,
1) most important is that locations, after editing, should be reflected in the events automatically. It would be quite a lot of work to have to reassign the location to every event whenever info in the location changes!!
2) and it would be best if the map link was not displayed when no valid map link could be created.
