Nope, not a bug or error. By default, the links will route back to the current page. What you need to do is define a new location for the links to route to. Think of it as a “results” page of sorts where you only have the [connections] shortcode.
The easiest thing to do is create a new “results” page with the [connections] shortcode. It can be named anything you want. Now, go to the Connections : Settings admin page and change the Directory Home Page to the new “results” page. lastly, just update you current page with the category shortcodes to force the links to route to the directory home page, like so:
[connections category='1' force_home=TRUE]
[connections category='2' force_home=TRUE]
[connections category='3' force_home=TRUE]
If you need to point the links to a page other than the directory home page for your setup. Alternatively you would create a new “results” page with the [connections] shortcode. It can be named anything you want. Take note of the new page ID. Lastly, update the category shortcodes to force the links to route to the new page instead, like so:
[connections category='1' home_id=X]
[connections category='2' home_id=X]
[connections category='3' home_id=X]
X would equal the new page ID.
I hope that makes sense. Connections is pretty flexible so many things can be done a couple ways depending on what you’re trying to accomplish.
