Great to hear!

@ Dwight

Well, limit your search by utilizing the site command, like so:

site:URL "keyphrase"

Does that help?

The theme is doing something bad too, this code in the functions.php file:

function inkthemes_add_stylesheet() {
    if (!is_admin()) {
    if(inkthemes_get_option('inkthemes_altstylesheet')!='orange'){
    wp_enqueue_style('coloroptions', get_template_directory_uri() . "/css/color/" . inkthemes_get_option('inkthemes_altstylesheet') . ".css", '', '', 'all');
    }
    if(inkthemes_get_option('inkthemes_lanstylesheet') != 'Default'){    
    wp_enqueue_style('rtloptions', get_template_directory_uri() . "/css/color/" . inkthemes_get_option('inkthemes_lanstylesheet') . ".css", '', '', 'all');
    }
    }
wp_enqueue_style('short_codes', get_template_directory_uri() . "/css/shortcode.css", '', '', 'all');
wp_enqueue_style('Pretty_photo', get_template_directory_uri() . "/css/prettyPhoto.css", '', '', 'all');
}
add_action('init', 'inkthemes_add_stylesheet');

Load these CSS files on every page, frontend and admin. It is solely responsible for making much of you admin not look correct. You should ask your theme dev to fix this bug.

Now back to the issue…

You can not select a time because of the Tribulant Newsletters plugin… it is also loading it scripts and CSS throughout the admin which it should not do.

It is loading an incompatible version of the datepicker script. Actually even worse is that they are enqueueing a version of the datepicker that comes with their plugin rather than the version that comes with WordPress. They really should be including the version that comes with WordPress. Well, it would not be so bad if they would enqueue it on only their admin pages. But the way it is now, any other plugin that uses the datepicker script will likely be broken due to this.

Unfortunately this is not something I can fix, you’ll have to contact them and ask them to fix it. Sorry.

Hope this helps!

I do not think you really want subscribers to access the admin so they can add/edit entries… but if you do, you also need to give them the View Admin Menu and View List (Manage) capabilities.

I’m thinking what you actually want is the Link extension where adding the add and edit entries capabilities allow the subscribers to add their own entries.

Hope that helps!

Just fired up my vm w/ Win7 and IE9… tested the page, its working fine for me…

After you change the department, in the URL do you see cn-s=? And it is followed by anything other than &cn-cat=x (x would the the cat number)?

re: Is it possible to link the person’s name to there profile?

Sorry no. I actually do not put a lot of dev time into this shortcode so it is rather basic. That said… the Widget Pack does come with a birthday widget which does link to the profile pages.

re: Is it possible to show the anniversary years next to the name?
Ex. Jane Doe September 1 (5 Years)

Sorry, no. I do get asked for this from time to time and it is on my todo list but it always get bumped in favor of higher priority items/features requested more often.

@ Joel

I assume you’ll be converting a single site WP install to a multi site install to do this??? OR two single site WP installs, just one sits on a subdomain???

I know converting a single site install of WP to multi site is doable, but troublesome. Never done it myself so I have no insight for you. Connections related… you’d probably would have to manually rename the tables and move the images to the correct folder so everything would “just work” again.

For two single installs where one sites on a subdomain. Shouldn’t have to do anything out of the ordinary when moving domains.

Hope that helps!

re: My desire is to minimize subcategories on the Main Directory page, select a category from that page and be linked to the appropriate page that contains the category and it’s subcategories (e.g., States, Federal Agencies, etc.).

Thank you for the very detailed explaination, that helps tremendously! The part I was not getting was selecting a category should take you a different page and that destination page will depend on the category chosen from the drop down.

It is possible to change the destination page when selecting a category… but it is not possible to have multiple destination pages based on the category selected. Well, it is possible, but it would require some custom coding of javascript to change the form action based on the drop down choice. I do provide custom development solutions nut if you’d like to give a go yourself, here’s a Google search query with results that give examples of how to dynically change a forms action:

@ Russell

When you say title, you mean the person’s name? I recommend leaving that visible.

Here’s some CSS that’ll make it more compatible with your theme:

#cn-gridder .vcard span {
    display: inline-block;
}

#cn-gridder .cn-left {
    float: none;
}

#cn-gridder .cn-right {
    margin-left: 12px;
}

#cn-gridder .cn-clear {
    clear: none;
}

#cn-gridder h2 {
    display: block;
}

You can add this to the theme’s custom CSS area and it should fix it.

Hope that helps!
