Anonymous custom search in Wordpress
April 12, 2014, 09:22:47 am
I need to run a proximity search on contacts in CiviCRM through the WordPress front end, but want this to be available for anonymous users.

The custom search invokes the wp-admin slug in the URL which is of course "off limits" to anonymous uses.

I have scanned the web for the last two days and all I can see is suggestions on how to do this in Drupal or Joomla.  Any one ever succeeded in getting this to work in WordPress?

In general search exposes a fair bit of information and hence is not suitable for exposure to the anonymous user

your best bet would be to write a small wordpress plugin that integrates to the proximity search code via the api and exposes very specific and limited information to the frontend.
