[Plugin: WP BUSINESS DIRECTORY MANAGER] Categories Not Displaying

Why does Business Directory manager create a post on my home page when i submit a new listing? How do i get it to stop?

Hi, I have been working with v1.3 over the last hour and discovered the same fatal error as v1.2.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function sanitize() in /homepages/1/d322814613/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/wp-business-directory-manager/wpbusdirman.php on line 3575

System Info:
WordPress Version WP 2.9.2
PHP Version 5.2.13

tdcsupport, my apologies but I did forget to check that one before updating to 1.3

anselmox, any chance you could print the text of the error that shows when you try to submit the info? Or is it sending you to a 404 page?

Themestown – I really like the plugin, its definitely a lot better than any other business directory plugins available. However the problem I’m having is that none of my normal blog posts will display on my main blog page when I have the plugin activated. If I select the category page for these posts they will display or if I write a post and categorise it as one of the directory categories (which I know you’re not supposed to do) it will show up on the home page.

Is there a setting I can change to fix this or is it a bug? Is anybody else experiencing the same problem?

I LOVE this plugin but I am having one issue. When I set it so that I do NOT require login, it doesn’t allow them to upload an image. Is that a flaw or is that how you have it built? I really don’t want people to have to register? So like, will the email the business function work if they are not registered or is that another reason they would have to?

Btw, just also wanted to say thank you for all your hard work! I know that you probably get bombarded with questions so know that your work is appreciated:)

acowboyswife, thank you. I appreciate your thoughtfulness. Regarding the login image upload issue, I checked and found there were problems with the listing submission process for non-logged in users. I’ve fixed the problem and will be releasing the update today but want to test a few more things first.

The email the business function will work even if the user is not logged in. At least is should work. If you are finding that it is not working please let me know.

tdcsupport, I have fixed the below in version 1.4 which I plan to release today after I have done some more testing

Fatal error: Call to undefined function sanitize() in /homepages/1/d322814613/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/wp-business-directory-manager/wpbusdirman.php on line 3575

That error was related to some problems with the listing submission process for non-logged-in users.

rockinr, the plugin uses a filter that excludes the directory posts from showing on the homepage, but I’ve found that depending on your theme, the filter sometimes does not work. I’ve redone the filter in version 1.4. If you update and the problem is still occurring please use the contact form at https://www.themestown.com to send me the URL of your site and let me know what theme you’re using. Or you’re free to post that info here if you prefer.

akingston47, regarding the problem you’ve reported, I suspect it has something to do with the filtering function being used to keep the business directory posts from showing on your homepage. The function being used in current version conflicts with certain themes. I have changed the function in version 1.4. I’ll be releasing version 1.4 at some point today. If you upgrade and it doesn’t fix the problem please let me know.

Thank you for your quick response. I actually realised my problem was being caused by the fact that I had spaces in the list category ids so my bad! In other words after every comma I had a space. I have about 90 categories in the list so I had just copied the numbers from excel. When I removed the spaces everything worked fine.

On a separate note, I just noticed you are missing a forward-slash (/) on line 2431 in wpbusdirman.php. I’m not sure if this is only in version 1.4 or if it was always the case but I just noticed it when I was checking to see if I can submit a listing without being logged in. When told that you need to login this is the link you click on but it is broken unless you have “/wp-login.php” instead of just “wp-login.php” as it is at the moment.

I realise this might not be the right forum to ask but since I am writing here anyway I said I would… The reason I discovered the above is because I am using the S2Member plugin and I thought I would be able to prevent certain members from submitting a listing by specifying the URI that needs to be restricted. However I then realised the way you have it all coded in one page the URI doesn’t actually change so there doesn’t seem to be a way to prevent people from submitting listings without also preventing them from viewing listings. Do you have any suggestions as to how I could get around this? I am using Buddypress by the way so that is why I need S2Member rather than your payment facility.

Thanks for your help and thanks again for a super plugin..
