seems like it’s working to me… I click on the View All link for events and I got this link

http://dev.liberty.menu/events/united-states/

See image attached…

That’s very odd. Previously I would get 404 on the events archive page, then when I reloaded it the page worked. I don’t know why it would be inconsistent like that?

I too just went in and applied the correct categories to the two events I posted (Freedom Fest and Porcfest). I still am not seeing them come back up on the front end.

Im wondering if just exporting everything and re-importing it on a fresh install would be the best way to go at this point???

there seems to be a problem with your sessions.

You are checking events in california, Not all USA.

See your breadcrumb…

The problem with location changed to California is due to you probably visiting a place in california and forced multilocation to change location which is a bug Vikas already fixed today and will be in the next version.

Not having the location switcher to move away and go back to Everywhere that’s what happen.

Oh I see what you’re saying. Is there any way to fix that in my WP back-end or do I have to wait for the next update?

well now you should enable the location switcher on the menu momentarely and switch back to everywhere. Than remove it again, but until new version, any time you visit a place, location will switch to that location.

Thx

Ok I’ll give that a shot, problem is I’m not 100% I know what you’re talking about. LOL.

And unfortunately that doesn’t address my other issues :/

So when is the new update going to be released? I can’t see any way of launching the website until all these issues are sorted out.

And for future reference, what can I do to ensure a smooth transition when updating the plugin? Guaranteed I will be a nervous wreck next time I update!

Nice menu Liberty, what are you using, if I may ask?

I was wondering how you have structured your content?

In the droplist for the search for you have “Restaurants”, but Restaurants seems to be a Category of the Places CustomPostType, and selecting this in the droplist doesn’t return anything?

How did you get Restaurants into the droplist, and why doesn’t it return any results?

Just curious because I am still trying to figure out how to set up my content!

I do have restaurants in as a custom post type. It just so happens that “restaurants” is a category of the Places post type too. I will be getting rid of “places” before launch. I just left it up since that’s the post type all the dummy content is under. I don’t have any listings under any of the post types accept “events” at this point.

My organization is based on various post types. I did it this way because I need specific filters for each post type. What you see in the search drop down are all the post types. I then have every conceivable category under their respective post type. Careful if you have a lot of categories. The database seems to be limited to 100. I had to increase the amount of input variables, and I’m still trying to iron out.

The main menu however, is a mish-mash of categories from the various post types organized to be more intuitive for the user.

This is probably the thoughest update experience you will go through with GD, because we have canged so much from v1.0.4 to the current one.

VIikas is already working on the next release and I think both him and Stiofan want to release it in the next 24 hours.

To add the location switcher just go to GeoDirectory > Design > Navigation and enable it to show in the main menu just for the time needed to switch to the EVERYWHERE location.

Just FYI if you are using multilocations you should be using a location switcher. Otherwise ppl will be able to access location pages via breadcrumb links and not go back to the global view or switch to any other location.

Not using it, will expose you to a lot of potential issues.

Thx

Thanks Liberty, I think I will go down the same path; you seem to be making good use of the functionality!

Great, thank you so much for your help Paolo! I’ll make that change for now and await the next update. Fingers crossed it resolves all my issues.
