In reply to: [CongressLookup] Congressmen Information does not appearGreat. I’m glad it’s resolved 😀
BTW, when you enter an error/warning message its best to obscure any identifying information. For instance, can use something like: /home/name/public_html
Best of luck with your website.

In reply to: [CongressLookup] Error on loginIf all the sites you’ve tried it on are on the same server then, yes, it could be your server configuration. CongressLookup.com server is running PHP Version 5.3. Please let me know if this helps.

In reply to: [CongressLookup] Error on loginstarfishtrainers, I’m sorry you are having a problem with the plugin.
As this is the first report of this problem, and it is not happening on our website http://congresslookup.com/, I suspect you may be having a conflict with another plugin or your theme.
Please work through these troubleshooting steps and report back on the results if you continue to encounter an issue: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/congresslookup/other_notes/

In reply to: [CongressLookup] Plugin only works on one page and not othersHello Vita,
This IS very odd.
As a test, I added an additional page to my WP site that runs CongressLookup.com, you can see it here: http://congresslookup.com/test/ The second shortcode works fine even through it is the 4th shortcode on the website. I also have a page for Senator only and Representative only shortcodes.
Have you worked through my troubleshooting steps yet? https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/congresslookup/other_notes/

In reply to: [CongressLookup] Address or Zip Code not foundOur plugin uses two APIs; one from Google Maps for the location and the other from Sunlight Labs for the actual Congress person information. If the map works then the most likely problem is the connection to Sunlight Labs API. The most common reason for this is not clicking the activation link in the email with which they sent you the API key.
Here is the full troubleshooting list of actions: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/congresslookup/other_notes/
In some rare cases, the following have worked for others…
Make sure your server is running at least php 5.3
If all the above fails, then try the following:
in getData.php
$api_call = "http://congress.api.sunlightfoundation.com/legislators/locate?apikey=".get_option('congress_key')."&latitude=".$_GET['lat']."&longitude=".$_GET['lon'];and change https to http
Please report back the results of what worked or didn’t work.

In reply to: [CongressLookup] Error when implementingI’m glad we got it partially working.
The MOST common reason for the error you are having is API activation. In the email that Sunlight Foundation sent you (that has in it your API key) there is also a link that MUST be clicked to activate the API. Please make sure you click that link and try the plugin again. NOTE: some users have found it might take a few minutes for it connect the first time.
If the plugin still does not work then please work through the rest of these troubleshooting tasks: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/congresslookup/other_notes/
If you still can not get it activated then please contact me again.
BTW, if you want, you can contact me at [email protected] and we can talk more about your general website issues.

In reply to: [CongressLookup] Error when implementingWarning: require_once(../../../wp-load.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/name/name-wp/content/plugins/congresslookup/getData.php on line 5
Have you changed your directory structure for your WP install? The wp-load.php is part of core WP and is in the main WP directory which is usually named /wp-content/ (which you have apparently changed the name of in your install). If your core WP files are in /name-wp/ then you need to open /plugins/congresslookup/getData.php file and on line 5 add another directory level to the relative path.
IOW: change
(../../../wp-load.php)to(../../../../wp-load.php)If you did not change the directory structure of your WP install, and wp-load.php is in your /contents/ directory, then let me know and I’ll have a developer look into the error you are receiving.

In reply to: [CongressLookup] Undefined property: stdClass::$state_rankI’ll have the coders look into this but as long as the results are showing properly there shouldn’t be a problem. I’ll get back to you one way or the other. Thanks for letting us know.

In reply to: [CongressLookup] Address or Zip Code not foundGreat to hear that the problem is resolved, Nathan!
We have had plans for a while to do a State legislature plugin but as we offer these for free, it keeps getting pushed to the back burner. We’d love to help you with this when you are ready: [email protected]

In reply to: [CongressLookup] Address or Zip Code not foundThe most common cause to this problem is not clicking the validation link in the email that Sunlight Labs sent you. It is in the same email that gave you your API Key.
Please make sure you clicked that link. If you are still having a problem, please let me know.
