Thank you! Sigh, I did it, putting card.php into folder theme/child/connections-gridder
and there is no change.

I did not include the php tags around the detail link code. Here is how it is added:

        if ( $atts['excerpt_length'] ) {

if ( $atts['show_profile_link'] ) {

    echo '<div class="cn-gridder-detail-link">';

    cnURL::permalink(
        array(
            'type' => 'name',
            'slug' => $entry->getSlug(),
            'text' => __( 'Details', 'cnt_gridder' ),
            'home_id' => $atts['home_id'],
            )
        );

    echo '</div>';
}

I looked in 3 different browsers… what did I miss? thanks again, I really do appreciate you spending the time helping me.
