On a similar note, is there a way to remove the “read more” completely? I have my posts set to display in their entirety, so there is no need for a “read more” link.
Thanks,
Paul
Thanks for the suggestion Angelo; I’d previously tried that misleadingly-named plugin; it should be called “Search Most Things”! Plus a couple of others, without success.
I successfully did my “Thai” search in phpMyAdmin and found it in
post_contentinwp_em_locations. You wouldn’t happen to know of an easy way to add this row to the scope of what gets searched for, would you?I’ll try to convince the clients that they don’t really need a search feature at all, otherwise it looks like my only option will be to write a PHP shortcode to directly search the MySQL database (and hope that none of the associated security risks come to anything!).

Thanks for the suggestion, but that made no difference. Neither the WordPress search nor the Events Manager search finds anything on the Locations pages. I can successfully do an advanced search to find events within a range of dates, etc, but if I search for a word on one of the locations pages, it returns no results at all.
I’ve tried a couple of “search everything” plugins which claim to search the entire site, but these do not find anything on the locations pages either. It’s like the text on these pages is hidden away from everything.
If you care to see this in action, go to http://paulroper.com/ccfm09 scroll down a little and click on Hammersmith – this loads that market’s location page. One of the unique words on that page is “Thai”. If you go back to the home page, and search for the word Thai in the search box under the calendar, it does not find the Hammersmith page. There’s also a standard search in the menu bar; this doesn’t work either.
I went ahead and uninstalled this plugin and found something online that I adapted for my needs; it creates a shortcode called
[newestpost]:function wp_recentpost($atts, $content=null){ $getpost = get_posts( array('number' => 1) ); $getpost = $getpost[0]; $return = "<h1>" . $getpost->post_title . "</h1>" . $getpost->post_content . "…"; $return .= "<br /><a href='" . get_permalink($getpost->ID) . "'><em>read more →</em></a>"; return $return; } add_shortcode('newestpost', 'wp_recentpost');– Paul

In reply to: [Openstrap] Menu problems on iPad MiniAnother update:
I’ve tried adding somez-index:(with various values) in the style.css (of my child theme) to:.navbar-inverse .navbar-nav > li > a {... .navbar {... .dropdown-menu {...…but with no effect.
Should I ignore these; does the theme look at the CSS within the
@media (max-width: 767px)section when the window is 767 pixels wide or less? I’ve tried adding variousz-indexes in here too, but again , with no effect. The problem seems to be that in all non-iOS browsers, the remaining menu text gets shifted down, out of the way, when the dropdown menu appears. But on the iPad, the other menu items remain fixed, clashing with the dropdown text.– Paul

In reply to: [Openstrap] Menu problems on iPad MiniUpdate:
I made the menu background opaque, but it made no difference. The drop down menu text appears BEHIND the main menu bar text on the iPad. Weird.Is there a way I can force the z-depth of the drop down menu to be above the main menu bar?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Thanks! I think I’ll take on that PHP challenge tomorrow…I’m sure I’ll be back here with some questions!

Huh! Simple! Why didn’t I spot that before?!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Hmmm….is there any kind of official “feature request” system for the Events Manager plugin? It seems like this might be something useful to add in future.
– Paul
Thanks for that suggestion, but I’d already tried that method without success. That adds an event, for example, every 3 weeks, not on the 3rd Sunday of the month (so, currently we’d have something happening on Sunday 1st June AND Sunday 22nd June, 3 weeks later). What I need is for the event to happen only on Sunday 18th June (the 3rd Sunday in the month).
I’m fairly sure this isn’t possible with the plugin as it stands, but maybe it’s something that could be included in a future release?
Alternatively, does anyone out there know if it would be possible to write a bit of PHP code (I know some rudimentary PHP) to do this, and where it would go?
No ideas or suggestions, anyone?
I figured it out – I used the Events widget on my front page to show the next x upcoming events.
It would be cool if that widget could display the next x days’ of events (eg. I could list all the events happening in the next 7 days).

Hello,
If I’ve got an even in, say, London on 30th April, and a user clicks that date in the calendar, they’re taken to that event’s page, which is great. But if they then click on the word “London” under Location, they then get a list of all the upcoming events in London.Instead of listing the London events, I’d like the link to take them to my specific “all about London” page, which is completely separate and nothing to do with the Events Manager plugin.
I managed to get rid of the comments thing by setting everything to be a “page” instead of a “post”. Disabling the comments under those settings had no effect when it was set to “post”.
Thanks,

In reply to: WordPress loading non-existent CSS fileTHANK YOU Esmi – my host did indeed have caching on, which I’ve now switched off, and it’s all working perfectly now, even on lousy old IE.
You saved the day!

In reply to: WordPress loading non-existent CSS fileI haven’t asked my host about web caching. I’ll do that now. Thanks for the suggestion!
I also re-uploaded my site to a new directory and it’s working perfectly now.
