Steven ZahmRE: How do I force the connection links to refresh? We’ve been manually self-populating the content prior to release of the site and its possible that we didn’t do things in “proper” order – so that the linking needs to be forced. Is there a quick way to do that?
Sorry, there is no way to force a “link” at this time. The user has to login to the site. Something you can try… Install the User Switching plugin. It is a plugin which allows you to switch to another user on the Users admin page. If you have Link 3.1 installed, switching users with the User Switching plugin should cause the link to occur.
RE: I would love a way to add a link to the connections profile inside their bio information at the bottom of each of their blog posts. Is this possible? Is there a shortcode that can connect a user id to the connections listing?
Sorry, there’s not “out of the” box that can do this. Something custom developed could be made for you if you’re interested. Let me know and we can work out the specifics of the functionality and I can provide a fixed quote.
