I’m getting a listing of terms starting at the top of the list of terms, not the specific term chosen. * Second, when I click a letter on the prefix bar it’s giving the a list of terms that start with that letter in the page, not in the menu. * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Flatest-version-issues-3%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 18 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/latest-version-issues-3/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/latest-version-issues-3/page/2/?output_format=md) * Thread Starter [headelf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/headelf/) * (@headelf) * [5 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/latest-version-issues-3/#post-14260821) * And interestingly enough, when I use the sidebar search function, I get an additional search bar on the page itself.

The links in the left sidebar are wrong. They all point to the encyclopedia archive page. Possibly there is a problem with your permalinks or the url slugs for all entries are missing. 2. The prefix filter links to an archive which renders all entries which start with this prefix. 3. The search result page is rendered by your theme and I guess your theme developer added this search bar to the template. 😉 * Thread Starter [headelf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/headelf/) * (@headelf) * [5 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/latest-version-issues-3/#post-14261110) * Thanks for that tip. You’re right, it was a theme issue. I switched themes and it’s gone. * I still have the remaining issue. Here’s what I have in the left sidebar widget. * Encyclopedia Search widget Encyclopedia Entries widget * You told me what’s wrong you didn’t tell me how to fix it. Which widget do I use to list the terms that will allow the terms to show up singly when clicked? Where am I going wrong? * Plugin Author [Dennis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dhoppe/) * (@dhoppe) * [5 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/latest-version-issues-3/#post-14261123) * This is not a problem with the widget. Please try to call the single view entry by clicking the view link in the dashboard. Where points the link to? * Thread Starter [headelf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/headelf/) * (@headelf) * [5 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/latest-version-issues-3/#post-14261142) * Uhm, URL slugs? What are they and where do they go? I did an sql data dump into the table I used . . . * INSERT INTO `wp_posts` (`ID`, `post_title`, `post_content`, `post_date`, `post_type`) VALUES (1, ‘Aback’, ‘Wind on the wrong side of the sails.’, ‘2021-03-26 01:01: 01’, ‘encyclopedia’), etc. * If there’s another field I need to populate I wasn’t aware. I’ll do a little research to see if I can figure out what I’m missing. I *really* appreciate your help. * Plugin Author [Dennis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dhoppe/) * (@dhoppe) * [5 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/latest-version-issues-3/#post-14261156) * > sql data dump into the table * I guess this will not work… * [See here](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/insert-directly-into-db/?output_format=md#post-14138147) * Thread Starter [headelf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/headelf/) * (@headelf) * [5 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/latest-version-issues-3/#post-14261214) * I’ve added two records to see how the two things that are missing are formatted. I really don’t like that the encyclopedia records are tied to just one URL that is hard coded in the database. That certainly reduces the flexibility of the plugin. * guid . . . [http://www.surveyorslexicon.com/?post_type=encyclopedia&p=133](http://www.surveyorslexicon.com/?post_type=encyclopedia&p=133) * Correct me if I’m wrong . . . isn’t that something that should be handled by pulling the fields from the database? I’m sure there was logic in why you did it this way, but it’s totally escaping me. * I can make the changes to the sql records to build the guid field for uploading, I’m just not sure that’s the best approach. Thoughts? * Plugin Author [Dennis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dhoppe/) * (@dhoppe) * [5 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/latest-version-issues-3/#post-14261399) 1. All the database things are handled by WordPress; not by the plugin. 2. The guid field has nothing to do with the permalinks. 3. I would recommend to use the wp_insert_post function. * Thread Starter [headelf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/headelf/) * (@headelf) * [5 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/latest-version-issues-3/#post-14261637) * OMGosh! You are SO right! The answer was SO simple! I don’t have to touch the records I’ve prepped, just stuff them into the database and run a permalinks plugin to set all the permalinks! Perfect!

What am I doing wrong? * [http://www.surveyorslexicon.com/lexicon/prefix:w/](http://www.surveyorslexicon.com/lexicon/prefix:w/) * I can click on a term and it comes up as it should in the page so color me happy on that, but with over 2000 terms I cannot have users scrolling through to find what they need.

It brings up the list of terms in the main part of the page. With ~2000 terms, not isolating the index to just the selected terms isn’t optimal. * Try it -> [https://www.surveyorslexicon.com/encyclopedia/prefix:w](https://www.surveyorslexicon.com/encyclopedia/prefix:w) * How far do you need to scroll down to see something at the lower end of the list? * Also, look at the prefix line. I’ve got one line with single letters and two lines with two letters. This behavior comes and goes. Yesterday it worked perfectly. Today . . . not so much. Yesterday the prefix links worked not at all, today they work. I feel like I’m chasing shadows trying to get consistent behavior from day to day. * Thread Starter [headelf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/headelf/) * (@headelf) * [5 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/latest-version-issues-3/#post-14272667) * ARG! On the issue with the prefix line . . . I clicked wh and got the list of terms (not where I want it but the listing nonetheless) and the prefix is now three lines, one single letters, one double letters and one triple letters. I have done NOTHING. I’m not even signed into the back end. ARG! Why the flaky behavior? * Thread Starter [headelf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/headelf/) * (@headelf) * [5 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/latest-version-issues-3/#post-14272672) * And then I click E and I’m back to three lines, one single letters and two with two letters!
