Guust, thanks for digging in there. I had tried all kinds of things. I guess I was trying too many things. By the time you got to it I had just tried putting some shortcodes in it again.
See, I was initially trying to use the Beaver and then Divi plugins. That snowballed into my trying to create a new page and change it in permalinks. That new page didn’t work any better with various plugins. So, from there I suppose I was trying all sorts of things and for some reason when I went back to using widgets on the location page I swear the popular post view did not work at all in the GD Home. I even had a different home than the original home at once and wasn’t sure if that was part of the problem.
So, when the GD plugins don’t work with a theme, then the GD theme doesn’t work with plugins, it’s really hard to know what’s going to work… I wasn’t at all intending on using Supreme. But, I like enough now.
I was having problems using my Divi Builder plugin, it wouldn’t work on the home page. I ended up buying the Beaver plugin. So, I’m enjoying that on the posts now. As long as I can get the theme were I feel it is “marketable” and I can be creative in the posts I’ll be very happy. I’m very close now I think. Now all I have left I think is to:
Test the search a little more from various angles.
Get the Author/Dashboard setup right
Get the affiliate plugin tight and right for residual commission on subscriptions
Then I’ll be SUPER DUPER STOKED UP HAPPY! This is the closest I’ve been to having something I am confident about pitching a directory. 🙂
