    Hi,

    I’m still quite new at this and I have a question…

    Is there a way to link to a page that will list all of the listings for a specific state? And is there a way to order them somehow?

    My goal is to have visitors click on a map of the US, say on the state of Minnesota. That would take them to a page listing all of the listings for MN and then they are ranked so paid, or improved listings are at the top.

    Would this require me to make each state a category?

    Thanks for any help!

    I have solved part of my question… I figured out how to use “filters” :-)

    Now is there a way to have certain listings rise to the top of the list as featured for example?

    @ Tom

    Yep, filters work. Another option is to use URL/s.

    Assuming you have permalinks turned on, you can also do this:

    my-site.com/directory-home-page/region/MN

    On the Connections : Settings admin page under the Advanced tab you can change “region” to “state” so it is more clear in the URL what you’re linking to.

    As for featured categories, sorry, no, but … what others have done is create a “Featured” category and then put the Connections shortcode on the page twice. The first being limited to show only the “Featured” category.

    I hope that helps!
