multiple mashups

I currently have one Australia-wide map.

It’s too hard to navigate so i want to split it up by capital city, and I’m having trouble because I can’t get the queries to work.

The categories I have are Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Melbourne etc. I’ve tried using the shortcodes from the documentation but they don’t. I notice that when I try testing the queries as suggested, I can’t get them to work either, so I assume that’s the problem. Any ideas?

It would help if you posted the query or queries that don’t work for you so I can see if there’s a formatting error.

The test query I used was:

http://bellydanceoz.com/?category_nsw

I tried using this for the mashup:

[mashup query="posts_per_page=-1&category_name=nsw"]

I also tried this:
[mashup query="posts_per_page=-1&category=7"]

Hi,

The first example should be using the category slug, so just double check you have a slug “nsw”.

In the second, “category” isn’t valid, you need to use “cat”:
[mashup query="posts_per_Page=-1&cat=7"]

See here for some examples:

You can also put a little code in your theme to see what WordPress would output for a query – without using a map:

<?php
  $query = new WP_Query( 'cat=7' );
  print_r($query->posts);
?>
