I’d recommend installing a plugin like Show IDs. It will reveal the IDs for media, posts, pages, etc.

Alternatively, while viewing an image in the media library, just look up at the URL. The image ID will be displayed as item=214. Just take that number (214 in this case) and use it in the shortcode.

@drkasper

It is absolutely possible, but obviously not how things work by default. There also isn’t an admin interface for enabling this.

However, since you asked, I’ve created a little plugin that will do exactly this. You can download it from here: https://github.com/wpscholar/stellar-places-enable-comments/archive/master.zip

Just go to ‘Plugins’ -> ‘Add New’ in the WordPress Admin and then click the ‘Upload Plugin’ button at the top of the page. Click ‘Choose File’ and select the plugin you downloaded from above and click ‘Install Now’. You can then activate immediately after installation, or you can activate the ‘Stellar Places – Enable Comments’ plugin anytime from the plugins page.

This plugin should enable comments by default for all new locations you create, but for old locations you will need to go to the edit screen, find the ‘Discussion’ box, and check the ‘Allow Comments’ box.

I’ve not tested the plugin with WordPress Multisite yet. I’d recommend you look at a multisite specific plugin or that you use WP-CLI instead.

Awesome!

It appears that your image is big enough, but the theme is applying two rules that are causing images to size down. First, the theme applies a max-width: 100% rule. This rule is common and necessary as it prevents images from breaking the layout. The second rule is a width: 68% rule applied to the content. This rule appears to exist to ensure there is some room on the page for the right sidebar. So as far as the content goes, the image is as wide as the theme allows the content to get.

The first thing I would do is check to see if your theme provides a full-width page template. This would allow the content on that specific page to expand to fill the entire page, including your images.

If there is no such template, you may have to make some changes to your theme’s styling to get the results you are expecting.

@drkasper

Thanks for the feedback! I’ll see what I can do to improve the documentation. What was the first place you looked for documentation?

I’ll try and get the search shortcode put together soon. I’ll probably start on that Tuesday. Thanks!

@0uthouse

Can you point me to the URL where you are having this issue? It is a lot easier to view the issue in context.

@drkasper

Just a quick question: Now that you’ve found where the listings are, what would have been the best way / place for me to communicate that to you without you having to ask on the forums? I’d like to make sure I document things in a user-friendly way.

By implementing a shortcode that handles search, I could give your users the ability to search by category and town/city. When the results are displayed, I could show the map below the form and the results listed below the map. Would this meet your current requirements? If not, let me know what I’m missing.

I’ve been thinking about adding the option to display listings below the map for the normal shortcode, but I think doing so for the search results would be a good first step.

@drkasper

There won’t be a ‘Listings’ page in the admin under the ‘Pages’ list. The listings page I’m referring to is actually a post type archive page, which means all you need to do to view it is visit the URL. I don’t know what your site’s domain is, but it would be mysitedomain.com/listings/.

You are correct in that the shortcode only shows the map.

@drkasper,

No need to create a page or use the shortcode to get listings to display. Just visit the /listings/ path off of your site’s domain and you will find the listings there. (creating a page with the slug listings will actually hide this, so if you’ve done that you would need to delete that page and empty the trash)

However, you can use the shortcode anywhere else you want a map to show up. Currently, the shortcode only shows the map and not the listings.

@drkasper

Thanks for reaching out!

By default, there is a main page located at {yourdomain.com}/listings/. You will see a map and a paginated list of locations. Users can browse that list and can click the links to land on the individual listings pages.

At the moment, there is only one shortcode… which is documented here: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/stellar-places/faq/

I’ve not created a search form shortcode, but it only makes sense that I would do so. List out what you’d like to be able to search by and I’ll try to get a search form shortcode out the door by next week.

Thanks!

@jakilevy

Wow, thanks for catching that! It was more or less a dumb error on my part… it is fixed now. Please try again and let me know if you have any issues.

Currently, you cannot alter the transition. However, you can change the timing in one of two ways:

1. Globally – from the settings page
2. Locally – via the time_delay property on the shortcode

Read the FAQ page for more details on available shortcode settings: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/promotion-slider/faq/

@anticosti

Most likely, the “Better Search” plugin is using its own custom queries for search in such a way that my plugin doesn’t have the ability to alter the search query to hide the appropriate items. I’m going to look into this to verify when I have more time, but you can track that progress here: https://github.com/wpscholar/mpress-hide-from-search/issues/1

Thanks!

@deeve007

Sorry, it appears that this question slipped past me. That is an excellent question and currently there is not a way to do that unless you are a developer.

I’m considering adding a filter to the existing shortcode so you can do this. I’ve created an issue for this on GitHub: https://github.com/wpscholar/stellar-places/issues/19

Feel free to comment / track progress there.
