Navigate to the WordPress Settings permalink admin page. Choose the Postname option for your permalinks. Then in the custom box remove the index.php/ part and save.
If you are using any time of page caching either thru the server or a WP plugin, clear the cache.
Now your site will have more SEO friendly URLs (permalinks) and make you site compatible with Connections.
This is not something that typically needs to be done because most web hosts have their servers configured to work properly with WordPress permalinks. If you find your links do not work after this change you will, unfortunately, need to contact your web host to change the config to the web server so the permalinks will work correctly without the index.php. It should be a very simple/quick fix for them to do.
Hope this helps, let me know.
