For the benefit of Richard and anyone else who may find this post and desire the solution, here it is:

When the Easy2Map plugin is embedded within a page via shortcode it displays the zoom level last used when adding a pin. The reason I was having such a hard time with this is that many of the pins on the map I was adding did not have a working physical address. For this reason I had to zoom in almost as far as Google Map would go to get the pin in the right geographic location. Because I needed to add several dozen pins it didn’t make sense to zoom out and re-orient the map for optimal display each time.

If you want the map to show all the pins at once on the same screen and you have pins in almost every continent on earth you have to re-calibrate and center the map after you’re done to get the desired effect.

I have discovered that the short code for WP Reviews has attached itself to the theme short code for creating accordions. Anytime I use my accordion short code it puts the review plugin directly after it. You can’t see the wp reviews shortcode in the text editor but you can see it in source code mode. Some how the two short codes have gotten linked and I have no idea how to unlink them. I need to be able to use an accordion in a page without always having the reviews show up right after it. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Anyone know how to remove the [WPCR_INSERT] shortcode? We removed it from the text editor but it is still stuck somewhere because it still shows up in the source code. Don’t know how to completely remove it since it is gone from the WYSIWYG. If I could get the shortcode out of there my duplicates would go away.

Here is the weird thing. You can see the code for the reviews plugin in source code mode where the short code originally was even though the short code has been removed. When you go into visual or text editor the short code is not there. Where is source mode getting this code from?

Thank you for this plugin. Would love to see the ability to respond to reviews like WP Customer Reviews has. If a review is negative it is important to post it but still be able to share our side of the story in a comment. Would also like to be able to show a cumulative star rating so that it shows actual stars instead of just saying how many stars.

We are having the same problem. They get the scary error message when they register and do not get a confirmation email. Our hosting company has looked at it and assures us the email is set up and working correctly. The plugin seems to be malfunctioning.

I think you might want to consider a hybrid approach… I have been using Joomla for as long as it has existed. I agree that it’s a stronger platform for the eCommerce-intensive aspects of the site you want to build. On the other hand, however, making an e-commerce Joomla website truly search engine-friendly (SEF) can be a real nightmare. Trust me, I know from personal experience.

The SEF aspects of WordPress make it much easier to deal with than Joomla, and I think it’s better geared for the multimedia content you’re talking about.

My suggestion would be to build the site using WordPress but fuse it with Magento so you can have the best of both worlds. Joomla would also be an option, but if you go that route just know it’s probably going to be more labor-intensive and require more effort on your part.

I installed and activated the Twenty Ten theme and now we have a new problem, specifically the following error message:

“Fatal error: Call to undefined function home_url() in /home/custerag/public_html/wp-content/themes/twentyten/header.php on line 63”

Thanks for your help, James. I made the changes you suggested, but I’m not out of the woods yet. The “Page Not Found” error is gone now, but the theme isn’t showing up at all. I have double-checked and confirmed that the theme was uploaded successfully so I don’t know why it’s not working. Have any more ideas?
