Get this plugin working for a business listing site; how I did it.

  • You can structure your request in a template setting using this code, with this plugin, your variables are going to be different.

    Full;
    <?php $name = get_the_title(); $listing_id = !empty( $listing_id ) ? $listing_id : get_the_ID();
    $addy = esc_html( get_post_meta( $listing_id , ‘address’, true ) );
    echo do_shortcode(‘[yelpprofile term=”‘.$name.'” location=”‘.$addy.'”]’);
    ?>

    What is important?
    echo do_shortcode(‘[yelpprofile term=”‘.$name.'” location=”‘.$addy.'”]’);

    Everything above that line creates the variables for $name and $addy (which is the address string). We’ve now deployed this across a load of listings.

    Thanks for the plugin!

  • i am trying to use the Help it for a business – does that person ALSO have to have a regular yelp account in order to actually GET the api setting correct?

    the plugin uses consumer key, consumer secret, token and token secret – Where do i retrieve these if the client ONLY has a business account? – i cannot find it in the Yelp backend settings for this.

    also when i do find the code – am i copying and pasting the business code (i assume it is something like this “yelp-biz-badge-plain-wkbJ2eqvfbf6RQ4BcGDoFw” since that is the constant in all of the button links code that Yelp gives to embed on the site

    thanks in advance for any and all advice you can give ??

    Log in there, not sure if business accounts have access to that.

    The business ID is the last part of the URL of a yelp URL.

    ex: https://www.yelp.com/biz/four-barrel-coffee-san-francisco

    ID will be: four-barrel-coffee-san-francisco
