    I recently purchased the Widget Pack to create a list of clickable categories for my “Member Directory” on the website.

    When I click on a category, it sends me to a completely different page. Is there a way to link each category so when I click on it, it brings up the entries that have that specific category?

    How recent is recent? What version do you have installed? Is it the latest version 2.2? If it is not, it is highly recommended that you update to the latest version which can be downloaded from your purchase history.

    The category permalinks themselves should resolve to the page set as the Directory Home Page on the Connections : Settings admin page under the General tab. This page should have the [connections] shortcode on it.

    Does that help? Let me know. Thanks!

    Thank you! Yes, I believe it is the most recent version, we just purchased it a few days ago. I believe I just need to change the home page under settings, because it was taking me to the page that was set as the home page.

    So if I change this home page, when I click on a category, will it direct them to all entries within that category?

    Also, is it possible to create a drop down bar with all of the categories, instead of a list?

    Yes, all category link will resolve to the page set as the directory home page and the results will be filtered by the category that was clicked.

    Sorry, no, the output is a list of links.
