This should be fixed in 0.8.4-beta

I did something to fubar the javascript in 0.8.1.

I do believe you’ve made light of a bug I’ve been overlooking since day one. The owner dropdown (aka the author dropdown) will only show users with a role of contributor or above. So despite the fact that Subscribers can be assigned programmatically to posts during submission, the same can’t be done on the dashboard.

I’ll have this fixed in the next release.

1. Yes, reviews and ratings. Advance warning though, this is most likely to come out as a premium addition. Pricing hasn’t been determined yet, but I would suspect the majority of our extensions will be in the lower double digits.

2. I may not be properly visualizing this, are we talking about the featured listings on the directory home page, or something else?

3. Anything in particular about the permalinks? The plugin is built on custom post types and taxonomies, so these are currently working in the same fashion as other permalinks on a WordPress powered site. The slugs for each are configurable via the directory settings page.

I appreciate your comments on the plugin, I’ll keep doing what I can to make it better!

I tested it locally on a few setups and it was accepting URLs, so I’m wondering if the error checking is seeing something about the particular URL you’re testing against.

What is the URL you’re trying to submit, exactly as you’re entering it?

This should be fixed in 0.8.4-beta, again sorry to everyone for the delay on getting that critical fix out.

Please let me know if this is fixed for everyone and if there are any new/different issues, don’t hesitate to open a new thread on them.

Appreciate the community jumping in to try and help here. I’m going to close this as resolved (even though technically it isn’t) as I see the OP is making use of another directory plugin. Thanks for checking ours out anyway, sorry it didn’t work for you!

<?php get_header(); ?>

<div id="blocks-wrapper" class="clearfix">

    <section id="primary" class="site-content directory-lite eleven columns">
        <div id="content" role="main">

            <?php echo ldl_get_header(); ?>

            <div class="col-md-12">
                <div class="list-group">
                    <?php echo ldl_get_categories(get_queried_object()->term_id); ?>
                </div>
            </div>

            <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>

                <?php
                while (have_posts()) {
                    the_post();
                    ldl_get_template_part('listing', 'compact');
                }
                ?>

            <?php else : ?>

            <?php endif; ?>

        </div>
    </section>

    <?php get_sidebar(); ?>
</div>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

That’s the way (I believe) your category.php should look to make it work with your theme. Let me know if that works.

I haven’t tested it, but have you tried using the breadcrumbs in Yoast’s WordPress SEO plugin? Probably the best breadcrumb trail generator available, I’d be interested to know if I needed to update the plugin in any way to make it fully compatible.

This has been the worst delay between updates, and I apologize for that. Give 0.8.4-beta a try though, it should fix your submit form issues! Let me know how it goes.

The emails were working with the last release, but I’ll double check them before putting out the next. It won’t be this afternoon, I ran out of time on testing to ensure nothing else breaks in the update. Will continue to push on it tomorrow.

Give me a few hours on this.

I’ve got a jumble of updates that I’ve lost track of due to other work keeping me busy, some of which include the permanent fix to these issues. Let me see if I can clean it up enough to make another release today. I will try to post back here if for some reason that isn’t able to happen.

Glad to hear it, despite my delayed response! Let me know if there’s anything else I can help you with.

Here is the order in which the plugin will search for a listing template:

/wp-content/themes/your-theme/lddlite_templates/single.php
/wp-content/plugins/ldd-directory-lite/templates/single.php
/wp-content/themes/your-theme/single-directory_listings.php
/wp-content/themes/your-theme/single.php
/wp-content/themes/your-theme/index.php

It’s still using the WordPress template hierarchy, it’s just injecting two of it’s own locations to search before trying the defaults. This way I can bundle those templates with the plugin, providing a suggested starting place for customizing them to your particular needs.

Since they are posts, they cannot point at a particular page and only that page. That is the way it used to work, and query strings had to be used to identify which listing was being viewed; in addition to other complications, that worked against the SEO of any site using the plugin.

I apologize; this project is work funded public domain, so I’ll go through periods where I can’t focus on it anywhere near as much as I would like to. You managed to get me during one of those periods, but if you look through the history of this forum you’ll see that up until recently there was hardly more than a 24 hour response time to almost every inquiry.

Due to the amount of presentation handled by the plugin it’s impossible to be out of the box compatible with every theme, though I am doing my best to work on different ways to make it out of the box compatible with a majority of themes.

For the occasions where it doesn’t work, most of the time all that is needed are a few edits to the template files included with the plugin. These can be found in /wp-content/plugins/ldd-directory-lite/templates and can be copied (individually or en masse) to /wp-content/themes/your-theme/lddlite_templates so that they won’t be overwritten during a plugin update.

Generally speaking to make it theme compatible the three files you’ll be editing will be home.php, category.php and single.php. You can get an idea for how to structure these by viewing the index.php, page.php, archive.php or single.php files of your chosen theme. If you need any specific help, just let us know here and I (or maybe someone with experience!) will chime in and do our best to help.
