Seems to be an issue with Pro Theme and Business Directory Plugin

Support
#1

Hi. I have Business Directory plugin from D. Rodenbaugh. I have all the latest updates. Business Directory is breaking up and not displaying properly. I disabled all my plugins and still same issue. So instead I changed the theme to 2017 and Business Directory worked like a charm. So Business Directory is not working with Pro Theme, though it did work with X Theme when I previously had that installed. There are several Business Directory pages that are not working. examples listed below.

Here is the main url of the business directory https://www.thosecrazyvegans.net/directory

Thanks!

The author of Business Directory plugin said it is the fault of the theme I am using. They said check my theme with Theme Check plugin at https://wordpress.org/plugins/theme-check . These are the errors I got back. There were more but I couldn’t add them all here. What do you think of these reported errors and the plugin?

Hey @michaellanfield,

We first would want to know if this issue is caused by the parent Pro theme itself and not coming from customizations. Would you mind switching to the parent theme and then remove custom CSS and JS code. If that could not be done in your live site, please copy your site to a staging server and we’ll investigate the issue there if you provide us with WordPress admin and FTP access.

Thanks.

#4

hello Christian. Yes I did that I am attaching a private note as well.

#5

Hi there,

The plugin and the theme isn’t compatible, looks like the plugin only works on its compatible theme, and on minimal theme. The issue is the archive template and it displays the excerpt instead of full-content. Other plugins has options for templates (what template to use) but this one doesn’t have.

I tried using different template but it’s not working, the fix should be done on both end (theme and the plugin). Unfortunately, I can’t go further since it’s a 3rd party plugin. I could add this to our issue tracker as feature request.

Thanks!

#6

Thank you but this seemed like the perfect plugin Business Directory for what we needed and no other directory plugin comes even close. Also it did work with X theme, so what is the issue here?

#7

Hi there,

The issue is the template + v2 elements. The combination changes the output of the excerpt in the archive page. Try using classic elements to warp your Business Directory elements but there is no guarantee.

Thanks!

#8

Damn. I did added the Business Directory shortcode to the classic editor and still only the main page of the directory works and the rest does not. Is there no way to get around this? Because there is no other plugin that fits our needs. I would appreciate any help on this, even though I know you guys don’t do custom work/coding.

#9

Hi there,

Let’s do this, but I can’t guarantee if this is going to work. The main idea is displaying the full content in archive page.

Please create this file in your child theme \framework\views\global\_content.php then add this content to that file.

<?php

// =============================================================================
// VIEWS/GLOBAL/_CONTENT.PHP
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Display of the_excerpt() or the_content() for various entries.
// =============================================================================

$stack                     = x_get_stack();
$is_full_post_content_blog = is_home() && x_get_option( 'x_blog_enable_full_post_content' ) == '1';

?>

<?php

if ( is_singular() || $is_full_post_content_blog || is_tax('wpbdp_category') ) :
  x_get_view( 'global', '_content', 'the-content' );
  if ( $stack == 'renew' ) :
    x_get_view( 'renew', '_content', 'post-footer' );
  endif;
else :
  x_get_view( 'global', '_content', 'the-excerpt' );
endif;

?>

The fix is adding is_tax('wpbdp_category') to let it use full-content display for its own taxonomy page.

Thanks!

yea it did not work, but thank you for all the help and patience.

#11

Hey There,

Sorry if it did not work out. It’s worth a try though.

Regards.

It seems that there are many plugins I’ve tried that don’t work well with Pro theme. What do you guys think of Theme Check finding all those warnings with your theme?

#13

Hi there,

The theme check result is based on their standard only. And those result has no connection with archive template. Maybe what you need is fully customized templates for that plugin. Like here https://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_an_Archive_Index and https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/basics/template-hierarchy/, with naming of archive-wpbdp_listing.php

Our theme uses global archive templates, your plugin works on other themes since they uses a dedicated archive templates. And with this, you’ll have to create your own versions of templates.

Thanks!
