 * Hi akhilmr!
 * If you do have the MembershipWorks plugin installed and active, then most likely
   the error is because you’re calling the function before the plugins have loaded.
   You need to run your function after plugins_loaded hook or later.

 * Hi mtporter!
 * It is not possible to show more than 1 profile. In this case the close button
   does not work since the shortcode indicates that only 1 profile is to be displayed,
   so there is nothing to show if the profile is closed.

 * Hi mtporter!
 * The event list widget does not contain any CSS in order to allow developers to
   style it as they see fit. As a courtesy, here are the CSS rules to introduce 
   a break between image and title and to remove the bullet points:
 * img.event-thumb{display:block}
    ul.sf_widget_event_list{list-style-type:none}

 * Hi Jason Hsu!
 * To help with diagnosis we’d need some tools/access:
 * 1. A WordPress admin login so we can check/disable other plugins as necessary,
   as well as fix some HTML structure issues on your website (which can cause indexing
   issues).
 * 2. Add us as a user to the Google Search console for [http://www.gwboardoftrade.com](http://www.gwboardoftrade.com)
   so we can fetch the links as Google. We cannot use the “fetch as Google” feature
   without being a user on the domain’s search console.
 * You can remove the WP admin and Google Search Console users as soon as we’ve 
   completed the diagnosis. Please send the access credentials to us at [info@membershipworks.com](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sourcefound/replies/page/3/info@membershipworks.com?output_format=md).

 * Hi Jason Hsu!
 * There is no way to automatically generate a sitemap but a sitemap would not fix
   the issue here – as you mentioned that you tried to fetch a URL manually using
   Google Search Console it said the “URL is available to Google.”. So even if Google
   is provided with all the URLs (through a sitemap), it is unable to index those
   pages.

 * Hi Jason Hsu!
 * Perhaps a different example with one of our customers would be clearer. If you
   type “site:wtagc.org biz” into Google search box, you will see many indexed pages
   with the “Ajax” URLs (eg. [https://wtagc.org/directory/#!biz/id/51ba5ef9316de6df46909ef9](https://wtagc.org/directory/#!biz/id/51ba5ef9316de6df46909ef9))
   with the member’s name, city/state and short description.
 * So Google is capable of indexing our Ajax pages, and our system has been designed
   from the start to support Google’s Ajax crawling. Please refer to these articles
   as confirmation:
 * [https://developers.google.com/search/docs/ajax-crawling/docs/learn-more](https://developers.google.com/search/docs/ajax-crawling/docs/learn-more)
   
   [https://webmasters.googleblog.com/2017/12/rendering-ajax-crawling-pages.html](https://webmasters.googleblog.com/2017/12/rendering-ajax-crawling-pages.html)
   [https://searchengineland.com/google-can-crawl-ajax-just-fine-322254](https://searchengineland.com/google-can-crawl-ajax-just-fine-322254)
 * In this case something is blocking Google from indexing your directory profile
   pages. If you are using WP Engine please see the linked article on how to disable
   the robot redirect behavior.

 * Hi Jason Hsu!
 * Google does index MembershipWorks pages using Ajax crawling. For example, if 
   you enter the following into the Google search box:
 * site:[https://www.gwboardoftrade.com/](https://www.gwboardoftrade.com/) greens
   Kelowna
 * you will see that the description indicates:
 * “Search Clear. Search by location. Search by category. 19 Greens Kelowna Corp.
   19 Okanagan Grill + Bar. 1st Class Auto Glass & Upholstery Ltd. 3BP Solutions.”
 * All the information in the description is generated by MW, so it is only possible
   if Google executes the Ajax and reads the HTML.
 * The issue may be your website host. Some hosting providers will alter the page
   behavior with robots. For example, WP Engine will redirect all URLs to the parent
   page (ie. the Business Directory page) and you have to disable that behavior 
   manually:
 * [https://wpengine.com/support/redirecting-bots-how-this-benefits-you/](https://wpengine.com/support/redirecting-bots-how-this-benefits-you/)
 * If you are not using WP Engine, please check with your hosting provider as well
   as any plugins that may be causing this issue. I noticed that your web page does
   not load if I change my user agent to googlebot, so there is something unusual
   occurring there.

 * Hi mtporter!
 * At this time we do not track the number of profile hits. Note that each member
   profile has a unique URL, so if you have Google Analytics installed on your website
   then GA can track the page traffic.

 * Hi mtporter!
 * You can pull up a member’s profile by using the shortcode:
 * [mw open=”!biz/id/xxx”]
 * where xxx is the member account ID. However the profile would contain a “Close”
   navigation button that if clicked on would pull up the entire directory.
 * Also note that you can only use one [mw open=”…”] shortcode per page.

 * Hi mtporter!
 * Unfortunately at this time it is not possible to add a user to a folder automatically
   based on an add-on. If you are using the directory shortcode to display a featured
   directory, you can re-configure the shortcode to use labels instead – ie. you
   can use a shortcode that displays only members with Gold or Add On only.
 * If you are using the Member/Folder widget, it is not possible to pull from 2 
   levels/add-ons at the same time, but you may consider using 2 widgets instead–
   ie. 1 for the Gold and 1 for the Add-On.

 * Hi RM!
 * You can display the information on the cards, and the information does respect
   the privacy settings. However if you want to display information on the cards
   and block it from non-members the only option is to make the entire directory
   restricted to members only. It is not possible to display more/less information
   on the card depending on whether the user is a logged in member.
