Yeah, the page set as the static home page is a different kind of beast in WordPress. Tricky to deal with because most times if you add parameters to the URL WordPress automatically assumes it is searching for a post so you can end up on the sites blog page. And that is tough to workaround.

Question, other than the initial_results='false' not working correctly, does everything else? Meaning, clicking a link to view an entry, filtering by category?

@ PatriciaB

Honestly I can not think of a solution. I think the only option would be some custom javascript that would scroll the page to #cn-top after a search or category change.

re: can I add this code to the plugin once I get it working?

Perhaps. You would add it to the cmap.js file, deleting the cmap.min.js file.

re: I wanted to add that I have tried using the api’s with other plugins and they worked fine.

When I navigate to this page on your site…

Looking at the browser Console, Google is still displaying the InvalidKeyMapError error.

Here’s the link to the Google Docs for this error:

https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/error-messages#invalid-key-map-error

“The API key included in the script element that loads the API is not found. Please make sure you are using a correct API key. You can generate a new API key on the Google API Console.”

The only thing I can say for sure is Google does not like your key or its configuration.

Double check that the key is correct. It has to be exact. You had it closer to being setup correctly when the error message was Google Maps API error: RefererNotAllowedMapError. That meant the key was correct, you needed to fix the referer restriction.

Here’s a suggestion. Create a brand new API key with no restrictions (just for testing) and save that as your browser key in the Connections Settings. After you have a working key, then go back and add the referer restriction.

I recommend using http://roundhoused.com/ as the referrer. The preceding http:// and trailing / are important and should not be left off otherwise your Browser Key may not work because it will not be able to validate the referrer.

Hope this helps!

@ Henry

Do you have the correct time set in your WordPress Settings?

re: Can I create multiple directory pages?

Yes, many users do exactly this with Connections. To accomplish this you would separate the different directories based on assigned categories using the category shortcode option.

You would have three parent categories; “Businesses”, “Program” and “Staff” with their respective categories as children.

On your three pages, you would use the category shortcode option to limit the display of the entries shown to the category your want that directory to show.

Hope that makes sense and helps!

re: So if a field is set to private, it can be viewed by someone logged into the website?

Yes.

re: Is there a way to set a field private globally rather than for each individual entry?

Sorry, no, there is not a way to default it to private globally.

re: is there a way to set the screen options globally rather than individual entries?

I do not believe so … it’s based on the same functionality that WordPress itself uses to save screen options per user.

re: There are some fields that my client will never be using

Which ones? Filters are available which can be hooked into to remove fieldsets. For example, this code would remove the address fieldset:

function cn_remove_address_metabox() {
    cnMetaboxAPI::remove('address');
}
add_action( 'cn_metabox', 'cn_remove_address_metabox', 9 );

Hope this helps, let me know.

@ H.Dupont

The issue is that none of the tables required for Connections to function exist. Please try deactivating and re-activating Connections. Does that fix it?

[Steven Zahm]

@ Eliot

Glad to hear you resolved. This is odd because the Widget Pack is a fairly small plugin in terms of amount of code and required resources. I can not imagine why installation would cause trouble. I can not recall any other instance of this occurring.

Apologies for the trouble!
