The best I can tell that the entries listed on the page have been assigned to only the feng-shui-schools category. I would expect them to also be assigned to gold silver, bronze accordingly. And, that these categories be children categories of feng-shui-schools.

@ Christine

Can you please provide some specific example searches so I can replicate? I’ve done a few random ones of zip within your directory and they seem to be correct.

@ Richard

It appears you may have changed the page hierarchy which no longer reflect the current Google index. As Google updates its index those links will be updated to be correct.

That said… you really should reconsider the structure of all these searches… each one should resolve to a canonical directory. Choose a single page to embed your directory on, then use either the force_home or home_id shortcode options so all links will resolve to that single directory instance.

For the “category” searches you should build the links so the resolve to the canonical directory. An example link would be: https://infoshield.co.uk/simple-search/cat/auctioneers/

Using such a link will use the internal Connections permalinks to filter by category.

Hope this helps!

@ Sue

Can you please share a link to the CSV file you are using (share it via Dropbox, OneDrive, Box or similar).

Also, what specific version of Word are you using?

@ Tim

Connections runs just fine on PHP versions 7.2 / 7.3. The only reason I have not bumped up the version yet is that there are instances where create_function() is used. This function will continue to run in PHP for the foreseeable future but it has been deprecated. After I have removed its usage throughout the code, I will bump the version. So, the message is purely for informational purposes.

Hope this helps!

@ Ankur

Sorry, but there is not a way to apply smooth scroll to inpage anchors coming from another page. Well, at least not any way that I am familiar with.

RE: I have that. How do I set it up properly?

Here’s he doc which has screenshots of the settings you need to configure.

You need the Link extension. Hope this helps!

RE: Is there no problem being all the zipcodes in the Netherlands?

There should be no issue, but, the addresses must be geocoded as it is the lat/long coordinates which are used to determine if an entry is within a radius. Connections attempts to do this automagically when an addresses is added to an entry.

To do this manually, edit an entry, scroll to the addresses and click the Geocode button IF the address lat and long fields are blank. That will geocode the address and at that point you can drag and drop the map pin to tweak the address location (if needed). If the address does have the lat/long fields populate, you can still click the geocode button to tweak the coordinates.

Also, I should mention the default radius is in miles, the unit can be changed to KM.

RE: is it possible to just filter on zipcode/radius, not showing the other input-fields like categories, state, country and keyword?

I have not tested that specifically, but it should work just fine. The other fields can be turned off.

Hope this helps!

Apologies for having to open an issue here! It is not permitted to on the wp.org support forums to provide support for commercial plugins or commercial addons for plugin.

I do have an addon which I offer to those who requested and have purchased either the Extension Pro Pack or the Pro Pack which allows you to filter by one or more categories, state, country, radius from zip code and keyword.

You can see it in action here:

https://sscit.org/directory/

This live third party site is allowing users to search by three categories (configurable) and zip code with search radius.

This addon is offered as is, meaning I can not change the styling or order of fields presented, though I do have some custom CSS I can supply your which can be used to change the color from blue to a color of your choice.

Will this work for you?
