    Hi guys,
    Need some help here please. We have two issues:

    First: We tried using these codes to create 2 different profile:

    1. [gd_listings layout=”4″ post_number=”5″ show_favorites_only=”1″ favorites_by_user=””]

    2. [gd_listings layout=”4″ post_number=”5″ post_author=”current”]

    The first one works fine (show favorites only) but the second one just keeps showing ALL the listings.

    We have checked through and have not seen what I may be missing.

    Second: We are using the PO/MO Editor plugin for my field edits and it’s working great except for the GD Franchises language files.

    Let us know what’s needed please

    Cheers

    DR

    “current” is not an option, see https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/core-shortcodes/#listings

    post_author – Filter by current_user, current_author or ID (default = unfiltered)
    post_author=”current_user” will filter the listings by author id of the logged in user
    post_author=”current_author” will filter the listings by author id of current viewing post/listing
    post_author=”11″ will filter the listings by author id = 11

    For translation, please use PoEdit:

    Thanks

    Thanks Guust,
    There was a slight error in the submission when we pasted the shortcode. What we meant was that we had actually tried with:
    1. [gd_listings layout=”4″ post_number=”5″ post_author=”current_user”] and
    2. [gd_listings layout=”4″ post_number=”5″ post_author=”current_author”]..
    But it still keeps showing all listings in the profile.

    About the PoEdit. We had in fact used it successfully in previous tries but switched to the MP/MO Editor when thing got a bit loopy. Will try again and feed back.

    Thank you

    1. 

    [gd_listings layout="4" post_number="4" post_author="current_user"]

    Have you tried logging out or logging in as a non-admin?

    2. 

    [gd_listings layout="4" post_number="4" post_author="current_author"]

    Make sure to use straight quotes, not curly quotes.

    We updated https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/core-shortcodes/#listings to clarify the settings.

    Thanks

    Hi Guust..
    Yes, we did login as non-admin.. We logged in as a subscriber. And used the codes just as we pasted here, not curly quotes.

    We also checked the clarified settings and think it maybe this bit:

    [also works on Author pages, but only if you do not use any other plugin that replaces the Author page (for example UsersWP)]

    causing issues. We are posting the shortcode in a page created by another plugin.. But thing is, it works for the ‘my favorite’ shortcode just fine used in a similar manner. Are there any suggestions please?

    Thank you.

    Please post your URL and WP admin details in a private reply, and also the details of the pages where we can find the shortcodes used.

    Thanks

    I think the shortcodes only work on GD pages, other pages generated by other plugins do not have the required GD data to call on.

    I’ll get a developer to confirm that for you.

    Hi Dipe,

    > The second one just keeps showing ALL the listings.
    < Fixed

    FYI post_author=”current_author” OR post_author=”current” only works if you are using shortcode on detail blog post(post_type = post) or detail listing(post_type = gd_place, gd_event etc…) page pages.
    Standard pages normally added by admin and those pages has post_author = admin user ID. So use post_author=”current_user” if you are using shortcode on standard pages (post_type = page).

    As you have applied users roles limitation for all three shortcodes, shortcode will display results for related user role only.

    Let us know.

    Thanks,
    Kiran

    Thank you Kiran and welcome back from your vacation.
    We checked and you are right. It works. Now when you say ‘fixed’, do you mean in general or in this situation in particular…? If it’s a general fix, do we have to wait for a next release for it to kick in? If it is in particular, can we know what was done please?

    Thank you
