WP BUSINESS DIRECTORY MANAGER – listings show in wrong cats

    Got WP BUSINESS DIRECTORY MANAGER installed and working. I created all my categories, and one business listing. The business is in the Building and Construction category. When you view the listing that’s the category that shows up. When I view all the categories, the Building and Construction category shows that it contains one listing … ie
    Building and Construction(1), but when I click on that category the error message is “No listings found in category”.

    Oddest thing is that the listing shows up in EVERY other category (wrong) except the correct one. Any suggestions welcome. The author’s page is enlightening https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/wp-business-directory-manager/other_notes/ but I am not a programmer ??

    elderberry, I have been programming for over a decade however I do it as a hobby and am the first to disclaim any expertise. While I have created a number of applications that are widely used and do my best to support them, I am indeed not a programmer in any trained professional sense of the word. As to the issues you are having with the plugin, as I have stated on the plugin support site I am not available at this time to assist with fixes. I have some things going on that must take priority. I will resume development of the plugin as soon as I am able. In the meantime there are some other business directory plugins available that you can use. I haven’t tried any other than my own myself so I cannot recommend any in particular but I do know there are several and at least one with a significantly larger user base than mine.

    in wpbusdirman-category.php, look for the line
    wpbusdirman_catpage_query();
    just before the loop starts and comment it out. It should solve the issue but I think that it sacrifices the ability to display excerpts. Luckily I don’t need it ??

    If you are ambitious, the problem lies in the query generated in wpbusdirman_catpage_query() having incorrect conditions hence yielding 0 results all the time.
