 * Hi,
 * Thanks again for your follow up. I’ve been in communication with Pitney Bowes
   support and it sounds like it may require an eCommerce PitneyShip account in 
   order for this to work, but the support from them hasn’t been great, so I don’t
   feel confident in that. Do you happen to know if that is the case? I was finally
   put in touch with the account manager for my client so I’m hoping he’ll be able
   to provide more information.
 * Ultimately, the client is actually more interested in having all WooCommerce 
   transactions sent to their PitneyShip account and printing labels from there 
   vs. the WP admin, in addition to getting the correct PitneyShip live rates for
   customers at checkout. Does your plugin also send Woo transactions to PitneyShip
   such that they could print from there if they’d prefer?
 * While working on this, we also came across [https://www.pitneybowes.com/us/support/article/000089540/connecting-your-woocommerce-store-to-pitneyship.html](https://www.pitneybowes.com/us/support/article/000089540/connecting-your-woocommerce-store-to-pitneyship.html)
   which details a way to connect Woo and PitneyShip such that: “Connecting your
   WooCommerce store to the PitneyShip allows you to manage data between both platforms.”
   which of course is very vague and provides no further details on what that means.
   There was no “add store” option anywhere on the client PitneyShip account which
   is where I was told that an “eCommerce level” account was needed in order to 
   enable that, but no solid information on what that connection using their method
   actually achieves.
 * Thanks again for all of your help. Please let me know if you have any more information
   to share based on the above.

 * Thanks for your reply. I set up an account using that link yet when I click on
   the “login” link in the PB Ship Admin I get a message after logging in of:
 * Your login attempt failed.
   The user is not authorized to access Merchant Portal.
 * Is there some kind of additional step I need to take? Also, it’s not clear to
   me how I’d link the client PB account to the developer account to. In general
   I’m a bit confused about the steps to set this all up. Do you have any documentation
   available?
 * The query being echoed is the following, the first is after activating the plugin,
   and the second is on the admin page for the plugin:
 * First:
 *     ```wp-block-code

       ,d.meta_value delivery_est
       ,IFNULL(IFNULL((SELECT meta_value FROM wp_postmeta WHERE meta_key='_shipping_first_name' AND post_id=o.ID LIMIT 1),(SELECT meta_value FROM wp_postmeta WHERE meta_key='_billing_first_name' AND post_id=o.ID LIMIT 1)),'')fname
       ,(SELECT 1 FROM wp_postmeta JOIN wp_options ON option_name=CONCAT('sms_sb_',meta_value) WHERE meta_key='_billing_phone' AND post_id=o.ID LIMIT 1)subscribe

       ,IFNULL(m.meta_key,'')label
       ,IFNULL(m.meta_value,'')label_meta
       FROM wp_posts o
       JOIN wp_postmeta s ON s.post_id=o.ID AND s.meta_key='_last_shipped' AND s.meta_value&gt;=NOW()-INTERVAL 30 DAY
       LEFT JOIN wp_postmeta d ON d.post_id=o.ID AND d.meta_key='delivery_est' AND DATE_FORMAT(d.meta_value,'%Y-%m-%d')&gt;DATE_FORMAT(s.meta_value,'%Y-%m-%d')
       JOIN wp_postmeta m ON m.post_id=o.ID AND m.meta_key LIKE '_pb_label_meta%' AND m.meta_value NOT LIKE '%inbound%' AND m.meta_value NOT LIKE '%cancel%' AND m.meta_value NOT LIKE '%returnToSender%' AND m.meta_value NOT LIKE '%delivered,%'
       WHERE o.post_type IN ('import_order','shop_order')
       AND (LENGTH('0')&gt;1 OR (d.post_id IS NULL OR DATE_FORMAT(d.meta_value,'%Y-%m-%d') BETWEEN DATE_FORMAT(NOW()-INTERVAL 3 DAY,'%Y-%m-%d') AND DATE_FORMAT(NOW()+INTERVAL 10 DAY,'%Y-%m-%d')))
       AND o.post_status NOT IN ('wc-cancelled','trash')
   
   
       ORDER BY m.meta_id DESC
       LIMIT 50;
       ```
   
 * Second:
 * SELECT n.option_value store_name
   ,(SELECT option_value FROM wp_options WHERE 
   option_name=’woocommerce_store_address’)address,(SELECT option_value FROM wp_options
   WHERE option_name=’woocommerce_store_address_2′)address_2,(SELECT option_value

   You’ll see events specifically for Aug 1 and Aug 2 that are not showing on the
   ICS calendar preview. For example, the following shows on the html version, but
   not the ICS preview:

 * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/location-submission-form-and-custom-taxonomy/#post-4013797)
 * Thanks for chiming in Marcus. I’ve already created the custom taxonomy, and have
   applied it to the search forms successfully. What I need to do is have the taxonomy
   show up on the locations submission form, so that users can choose this taxonomy
   when creating a location. It shows up on the backend create location form and
   works great, it just doesn’t show up as an option on the front end location submission
   form. Any way to enable this? What file controls this form, and what would I 
   need to add to show the custom taxonomy as an option? Thanks so much for your
   help.

 * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/location-submission-form-and-custom-taxonomy/#post-4013744)
 * I need locations to be able to be assigned to more than one of these taxonomies
   and am using these for custom taxonomy archive pages and searching, so custom
   location attributes would not meet my needs. I wouldn’t imagine that adding this
   custom taxonomy as an option on the Location Submission form is that complicated(
   it already shows on the backend add/edit location page). Any ideas?
 * Also, any ideas for my other question regarding enabling approval status for 
   locations?

 * I am still struggling with this, and any help would be appreciated. I added in
   the slug rewrite:
 *     ```
       'rewrite' => array(
                       'slug' => 'supplier',
                       'with_front' => false,
                       'hierarchical' => true
                   ),
       ```
   
 * and also added in a custom taxonomy to ‘posts’ just to see if it was specific
   to EM. It is, because I see the archive page at mysite.com/test/tesing , “test”
   being the cust. tax. name, and “testing” being one of the terms.
 * Why is this not working for the locations taxonomy? It certainly is possible,
   as event categories are a custom taxonomy for a custom post (events), and are
   able to display pages by event category. What needs to be done to enable this
   same thing for my custom taxonomy on locations?

 * Thanks for that. I added it, and of course that added the events categories to
   locations. If that’s the only solution, though not ideal, I could work with that-
   however using the shortcode simply displays all the locations. I tried location_category
   =”Cat Name” , location_category=”2″ and location_category=2 . All show every 
   location. Also, when I go to mysite.com/locations/cat-slug nothing shows. Likewise
   with mysite.com/cat-slug. What do I have to do to get either the shortcode working,
   or the url showing a category archive page. I would really prefer to use the 
   custom taxonomy that I already created for locations, and display a taxonomy 
   archive page for that. For example mysite.com/locations/cust-tax-slug/

 * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/searching-multiple-categories/#post-3603682)
 * This is development work for a client, so unfortunately I can’t freely give out
   the development link (plus it’s currently restricted by ip address). I am referring
   to events-search.php. I have searched the forums extensively, and the only solution
   I saw suggested adding a multi-select, or replacing the select with a checkbox
   group, but I am still not sure how and where I’d modify the corresponding sql
   statement. The function wp_dropdown_categories could perhaps be replaced with
   wp_category_checklist but I’m not quite sure how to implement that effectively,
   and more importantly, what else I’d need to modify in events manager to make 
   it work. From events-search.php:
 *     ```
       <?php if( get_option('dbem_search_form_categories') ): ?>
       		<!-- START Category Search -->
       			<?php
       				$selected = !empty($_REQUEST['category']) ? $_REQUEST['category'] : 0;
       				EM_Object::ms_global_switch(); //in case in global tables mode of MultiSite, grabs main site categories, if not using MS Global, nothing happens
       				wp_dropdown_categories(array( 'hide_empty' => 0, 'orderby' =>'name', 'name' => 'category', 'hierarchical' => true, 'taxonomy' => EM_TAXONOMY_CATEGORY, 'selected' => $selected, 'show_option_none' => get_option('dbem_search_form_categories_label'), 'class'=>'em-events-search-category'));
       				EM_Object::ms_global_switch_back(); //if switched above, switch back
       			?>
       		<!-- END Category Search -->
       		<?php endif; ?>
       ```
   
 * I really appreciate any ideas on this one. I currently have a number of categories
   that need to have the capability to be multi-selected and displayed with the 
   search (ie, show all posts that match any of the selected categories).

   purchasing multiple tickets at once.
