Fixed!!

I added it too far down my config file. I looked again and spotted a comment saying ‘That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging.’

I moved the code above this, and all is fine nowosted on wrong thread.

Thanks Greg

I deactivated the wpadverts google maps add in and I still get the 404. I guess the issue has always been there and I hadn’t spotted it yet (still building the site!)

Hi Greg

I added that line to my config file and did the permalink save, but still getting a 404…

Thanks

I know it is a basic question, but how do you use this like a plugin?

I tried uploading the pho file into a folder I created in my plugins folder, but it didnt appear for me to see or activate in the admin dashboard under plugins…

Greg, I didn’t get email notification of your reply, so I’ve only recently seen this.

WOW! Thank you! This is perfect! Just what I was after.

Take a look at the essential grids grid I have created in my side bar here. https://www.carshow.life (site is still being build by the way)

Thank you again, it obviously took a fair bit of your time up.

Any chance of an update please? PLEASE! ??

I found adding this to my themes styles.css file worked for me:
#slides1 img {
max-height: 100%
}

Hi Greg, just bumping this to see if you think you’ll be able to find the time for that code snippet?

Many thanks

Thanks Greg. Ill keep a hopeful eye on this thread.

So I found the issue!

I have no idea how, but over the last two weeks (as one of my staging environments from 2 weeks ago was fine) I must have changed Settings->Formatting->Maps->Global Map Format->Location Ballon format.

My live site with the issue had:
#_LOCATIONNAME<p>#_LOCATIONALLEVENTS</p>
So it was overriding any scope parameters I was putting in the locations map shortcode

My working staging site had:
#_LOCATIONNAME<p>#_LOCATIONSEARCHEVENTS
</p>

So I updated the live site and it is working now! I really do not remember making the change, but I am so glad I’ve found the issue. As a note, I can’t find #_LOCATIONSEARCHEVENTS in documentation, am I missing it somewhere? Thankfully I had my staging4 to compare settings against and spotted it.

I’m very confused, working fine in a staging version of my site creted a few weeks back:
https://staging4.carshow.life/a-map-scope-test/

Not working on live, I manually setup events to mirror staging 4 above to see if it would then work clearing out and deleteing fully all other events and locations:
https://carshow.life/a-map-scope-test-2/

I just copied live to a new staging environment, not working there either:
https://staging3.carshow.life/a-map-scope-test-2/

Hi

Sure, see here:
https://carshow.life/a-map-scope-test/

Click the marker and see the dates of the events, one in the past and two in the future, one of these future ones is more than a month in the future.
Shortcode being used is [locations_map eventful="1" scope="month"]
I added the shortcode without the square brackets to the page also, below the map, just as a reminder to me of what code is sitting behind the map whilst testing.

This is what I notcied during testing, (mentioined a few posts above):
I did some more testing tonight and noticed this behaviour:

1. I had just one event, in Hastings.
2. I added an event in the past in Bristol. It didn’t show on the map (which is correct as it is looking for events this month).
3. I added another event for Bristol, happening 14th August. The map updated with a marker showing for Bristol as this event is happening this month. Clicking the marker showed this event and also the event in the past created in step 2!
4. I added an event in Bristol for October, the map now also shows this event also, even though it is not in the next month. Bristol should only show the event for 14th August.

So it looks like the location markers are not obeying the scope correctly if they detect an event that falls in scope of the search. I have a past event in Paris Test 3 2nd Aug
but Paris is correctly not showing on the map, it must be because there is not an event in scope that month in Paris, meaning it does not get pulled in and shown on the map

Does this help in anyway?

Regards

Hi

Nothing more that can be done to help here? As I mention, it is the out of the box ones that seem to be playing up as well, none seem to be getting the scope correct. Is no one else seeing this issue/bug?

Thanks!

Hi Greg

Could I desperately request this be added?! Have a featured image automatically set based on the first image uploaded/shown in the slider on the ad.

I’ve discovered the excellent Essential Grids plugin and would love to build a grid for my homepage showing the most recent ads. It can pull in the custom post type of classified and even lets me choose the advert categories I want pumped in to the grid. The trouble is the grid looks rubbish as it has no images, as the plugin looks for the featured image and failing that the first image in the post it can find. It is not able to find any image at present.

Please can you add this?!

Regards

Robin

PS Thanks for the update, the recently posted ad widget is great. No chance of a small photo being added to that widget for each ad displayed?
