Nope, I do not think so… I’m pretty certain it is a bug with the theme’s template page.

I looked at it with the WordPress theme editor. They have multiple WP posts loops on the page, nothing wrong with that, but they are null’ing out a core WordPress global variable, bad. I removed the null and now the page works fine.

Actually… that not all, they’re overwriting the global var with the new local instance for the FAQ posts instead of assigning the results to a new local variable and instead of using wp_reset_query() they’re nulling out the global var again. I’d didn’t change any of this because I do not know what other effects this may have on the theme. So that would be for the theme author to fix and test.

Now why did this only occur with Connections active best guess is one of the filters in Connections relies on that global var that was null’ed out was trying to run. Not a bug with Connections, but bugs with the theme’s page template.
