re: There is a hard-coded link added to the “Excerpt” Field. (not my idea, by the way)
Ok, you’ll have to manually edit these links, unless, the plugin you using to replace URLs works on custom table field.
re: There is a larger problem, possibly caused by the Link plugin. I cannot VIEW the listings from the “Manage” dashboard.
How to explain…
You have two directory pages using categories to separate them, which is fine.
You have the school directory page set as the directory home page. All the admin “View” links will resolve to the school directory page. Now because categories are bine used to limit which entries are to be displayed, any entries not assign to the school directory category will result in a not found. There’s really no way to define which page the “View” link should resolve to because the “View” link has no “knowledge” of how the shortcode has been configured to limit which entries which can be displayed.
Trying viewing an entry from the manage page which is assigned to school directory category. It’ll display just fine.
Hopefully that make sense!
