First, edit the page where you inserted the [connections] shortcode. Switch the post editor to the Text tab and remove any and all HTML tags that may be in and around the such code, specifically the pre tag and save the page. That will most likely fix the display issue.

Tip…

When copy/pasting from a web page, always, first switch to the the text tab. If you do not, any HTML tags that were copies will also be posted while in the visual post editor. This will always cause issues for you if you do not. This is not a Connections issue or bug, it is just how the post editor works.

To display entries in a custom order, please see the doc page for the order_by shortcode option.

Hope that helps!
