re: I insert a shortcode in WordPress where I show category=’2′ in left site and category=’3′ i rigth site. And that is fine. But… when I click on the company name to see the detail the entries is shows to times, boths in left and right site. How can I changes that?

The issue is you are using the shortcode on the page more than once. You will see a duplicate for each instance of the shortcode on the page.

You can do what you want, but requires a little more complex setup. Here’s how.

Create a new page. The page name is not important but should be relevant. After you publish the page, take note of the page ID number. You can find this in the browser’s address bar when editing the page.

On this new page, the only content should be the [connections] shortcode with no other options.

Now edit your original page and add the home_id shortcode option to your existing shortcodes.

The new shortcode should be something like these [connections category=2 home_ix="X"] and [connections category=3 home_ix="X"]. X would be the page ID from the new page you just published.

After you update the page, the links for the entries will now resolve to the new page you created where the shortcode only exists on the page once.

re: How do I get the logo to show ?

Navigate to the Connections : Templates admin page and click the Customize button for the Default Entry Card template.

The page will reload displaying the Customizer on the left and a preview on the right.

Click the back arrow in the upper left of the Customizer.

Now click the Image panel.

You can select the Image Type to be displayed among other image related options.

Hope that helps, let me know.

re: Is it possble to set the list to show after not category, but entry
So I can show entries 33, 45, 55, 78 and in that way show those entry first and in that way get a better payment for the first entries.

Yes, take a look at the order_by shortcode option. Example 4 shows you how. You can also use the Custom Entry Order extension.

Hope that answers your questions thoroughly! Let me know.
