The links in the widgets should link to the page set as the Directory Home Page on the Connections : Settings admin page under the General tab.
It does not appear to be happening for you because the links are resolving to a WordPress category archive page.
Notice the link before clicking it, it has a link like this:
http://cuptaste.com/coffee-roasters/name/yowie-coffee/
Watching the network requests, I can see WordPress doing a 301 redirect to this:
http://cuptaste.com/category/coffee-roasters/
This is a category archive page.
The only time I see this is when a post and/or a page and/or a taxonomy term ends up with the same slug. In this case that would be coffee-roasters.
When this happens … WordPress gets confused as to which page should be shown.
What you’ll need to do is track down which of these, page or post, or taxonomy ended up with a duplicate slug and change the slug so it is unique.
If you do not want to hunt that down, you can work around it by creating a “Results” page for Connections and set the Directory Home Page to the “Results” page. On the “Results” page you would simply have the [connections] shortcode with no options. When a link in a widget is clicked in a widget it resolved to the “Results” page rendered using the single view of the cMap template. The “Results” page can be named anything … in your case, you could name it “Coffee Roaster”, then assuming there is no slug for coffee-roaster, the widget links will be:
http://cuptaste.com/coffee-roaster/name/yowie-coffee/
There is no way to link to a specific page, your regions, with your setup, sorry!
I hope this helps resolves the issue, let me know.
