 * 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,

 * 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_content`
   in `wp_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](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');
       ```

 * Another update:
    I’ve tried adding some `z-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 various `z-index`es 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.

 * Update:
    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!

   plugin? It seems like this might be something useful to add in future.

 * 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?

 * 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,
    Paul

 * I also re-uploaded my site to a new directory and it’s working perfectly now.
