re: Why does the ‘Bio info’ the ‘Name’ and the ‘Title and Organization’ fields end up linking to a Connections page
This only happens if the [connections] shortcode was copy/pasted from this site into the WordPress post editor. This is not an issue or bug with Connections it is how the WordPress editor works. If HTML from a web page is pasted into the post editor, it will also paste the underlying HTML, including links.
To fix…
Edit the page where the [connections] shortcode was pasted. Switch the editor to the Text tab. Now remove all HTML in and around the the shortcode such as links <a>, code and pre tags.
re: Why does the Circled template take on it’s own font (ie not a font specified on the main site). It seems that the some of the entry info/text takes on something like a Courier or something, which is completely different than anything specified.
The font you are seeing is like from the shortcode being wrapped in code and/or pre HTML tags.
That said… there are a few instances where the font is defined and will not be inherited by the theme. This is to ensure integrity/layout of the design template will not be broken by the theme.
re: How can the length of the Bio excerpt be reduced from what apparently normally will show up if it is desired to make the excerpt shorter?
See the Layout Configuration :: Excerpt section of the doc page where this is explained in detail.
re: I can send you a link on a private e-mail if you want — I don’t want to post the site link publicly
