    I’ve followed both your Quick Tips and both links in this support post. Neither of these have worked for me. We are using the cMap template and don’t want the entire directory available to view. We’d like the listings to show after a search has been performed. Can you help me with that?

    @ Michelle

    Generally, if the code in the QuickTip does not function, it is because of one of the following:

    • The code snippet was not activated, it was saved only. Check to make sure you’ve activate the code snippet.
    • The shortcode option initial_results='false' was not added to the shortcode.
    • If the shortcode option was added and you added by copy pasting it. Delete the shortcode and manually type it in.
    • There as an array in the copy/pasting of the code when making the new Code Snippet. Try recreating it.

    Hope that helps, please let me know.

    I’m have a glitch with the initial_results='false'.
    If I use the shortcode (plus the code snippet you provided) on a post or a regular page it works great! Perfect.
    When I try to use this shortcode on a page designated to be the WordPress static “Front page” I can’t get the shortcode to work.
    Is there a work around for this or will it only work on pages and posts that are not designated as the static Front page?

    @ PatriciaB

    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?

    Steven I abandoned trying to put connections on the home page at this time especially since you said it was a tricky beast. So I stopped testing it.

    Let me know if you wish to try this in the future. I’d like more details so I can try to replicate or have access to the site so I can debug.

    Hi Steven,

    Somehow @PatriciaB came in on our original conversation. We are getting your replies to her questions. If she comes back to you, can you open a separate ticket for her?

    @ Michelle

    Apologies. I had neglected to mark the issue resolved which allows anyone to add to the conversation. Now that it marked resolved, a new topic would have to be opened.
