Lets see…

re: I opened the CSS file while my connections plugin was active, which made it inactive.
Sorry, not sure I understand. Opening a CSS file, which one and how? Simply opening CSS file will not deactivate the plugin. I’m guessing that is what you mean???

re: Is there any way to export my data or reactivate the file without losing all of my contacts?
Add data is save in the database, just like WordPress posts. You can even delete Connections and your data will be intact. Since I do not understand what deactivated and what needs activated, I’m sorry, but I can give a more specific answer.

re: is there a way to customize the formatting of the excerpts on gridder?
Yes, you can use CSS to make any spacing changes you wish. Please see this QuickTip on how to do it so any changes you make will be update safe.

re: How do I get rid of the add to address book option on the bio page?
Go to the Connections : Settings page, click the Display tab and disable the feature under the Entry Actions.

re: How can I change the image alignment for the single bio page image? I want it aligned to the left under the speaker’s name.
The only way to do that is to edit the actual PHP template file. You want to edit the card-single.php file found in this folder; ../wp-content/plugins/connections-gridder/. Take a moment to read this QuickTip to do it in an update safe way. You will likely need to make CSS adjustments as well.

re: Is it possible to set the name borders to a certain height?
You can also do this with CSS. You’ll want to set the min-height of the div that contains the name.

re: I would like to be able to add spacing on individual entries so I can have a uniform line with first and last name on separate lines, even if they can fit on one line.
This too can be accomplish with CSS. The first and last names are within spans that are classed so they can easily be selected with CSS. You’ll want to change them to to display as blocks instead of inline.

Hope that helps! let me know.
