Nice @santolla

Sorry I couldn’t reply sooner. July was crazy!

I think what we ended up doing was Gravity Forms to create a front end form, which created a draft post. Seemed to work well for what we needed, but push come to shove…I would have created something custom if I couldn’t find anything that worked.

Here’s what we did:

Does your solution integrate directly with the plugin? Did you modify the plugin in any way?

@imagei –

The only solution I’ve found so far is with a competing plugin (not sure if I’m allowed to mention the name or link here), combined with Gravity Forms (form frontend) with Gravity Forms + Custom Post Type plugin.

I created a form that matched the custom fields and posts as a draft to custom post type that the plugin uses. When a user submits the form, it saves it correctly to the custom post type for that plugin and shows up as a “location”, but the geocoding (lat/long from address) doesn’t happen unless you (admin) go in and edit the entry and click “publish”.

It’s not the best case scenario, as I’d much prefer that the geocoding (getting latitude/longitude) happens automatically. For our needs, though, we might be cool with this…since we don’t want any random user being able to add lots of items to the map without admin oversight.

We just didn’t want to do the data entry…which this accomplishes.

If there’s a way the developer/author can chime in, I’d love to see how this can be accomplished with this plugin, as I like it better than the other one I’m using. Seems like it should be feasible on some level.

@nbaxley –

Did you ever find anything? I’m seeking the same thing and there are slim pickings out there from what I can see. Looking for a slick plugin that will handle the tabular layout like some of the cool sites out there.

Worst case I’ll write my own plugin, but I’d rather not.

Yes, we tried clearing out that data in options. Unused tags, etc. The optimization of data and repairing indexes, etc…did all of that. I think it was just the sheer size and how long it took for MySQL to sift through all the data that was causing the slow queries.

Thanks for the info guys. Appreciate it.

@mark –
These databases were nearly 1.3GB, which is understandable surrounding the slow queries issue.

Is there no reliable way to shared your single WP database? I think that’s where I’m hung up. The widgets and plugins were kept to a minimum, which is why I felt like there was nothing else I could do in that situation. I’m trying to learn from it now before experiencing it again.

Same issue here. Any ideas?

5 days and nobody’s run into this? ??

I’m wondering the same thing. We have a URL structure like this…

https://mydomain.com/some-category/?subject=Some+Subject

I’m trying to get pagination properly working. I urlencode() the space and get the +, but it doesn’t matter if I use a space or a + …Wordpress always tries to do this…

https://mydomain.com/some-category/page/2/?subject=SomeSubject

…instead of this…

https://mydomain.com/some-category/page/2/?subject=Some+Subject

WordPress is removing the space/+ for some reason. We haven’t figured out why just yet. Any help is greatly appreciated.

There has to be a way to do this. I had it working a week ago by accident, but not sure how I actually did it. That’s the problem.

Regular posts already have a very large number of nested categories setup. I’m just hoping I can get this new custom post type to use those legacy categories. Only when I go into WP Admin and edit a post, I don’t see the categories on the right side like normal.

Yes, I checked the screen options at the top. Categories isn’t listed ??

Well, we had planned to just have this post type use categories that already existed in the rest of WordPress…rather than creating a new taxonomy with the same content (seems redundant).

Just thought that picking a category from the right side would be default enabled or something. Maybe I’m a little lost ??

Same issue. Would be great if we could figure this out. Two days looking and no solution yet.

I saw nobody answered this and wanted to finish up this thread, since I was looking for the answer and it wasn’t here. In your WP_Query() settings on the first line of the above code, just put the tag parameter in like this…

$loop = new WP_Query( array( 'post_type' => 'product', 'tag' => 'Favorites', 'posts_per_page' => 10 ) );

That should do it. Mod/Anyone, please close this thread. Was more concerned with a clean, finished thread than reviving an older post.

Very helpful. Thank you. I went with single-foobar.php and it’s working swell ??

Whoops. Figures I find the answer after already taking time to create a post. Sorry. Here’s the solution…

<?php echo do_shortcode( $content ) ?>

If it helps, I’m hosted at HostGator and it’s a relatively large site, but we’re using caching with w3 total cache to keep loads down (and it’s been working for us).

As of today after updating WordPress for some reason I cannot access the page add/edit functionality. Weird!! ??
