RE: So no maps are available anywhere? If so that pretty well destroys the idea of a business directory.
The maps are included on everyone of the premium templates. Sorry if my answer to this question was not clear before.
RE: Because the photos we added did not show up in the listing we instead created a Layer Slider and then added that, but it didn’t show up either. Just a huge blank white space where the slider should be.
It is really still unclear to me where you are adding the images.
Connections has two “core” image fields. One for a logo and one for a photo. Which will be displayed will depend on the template an how it is configured. For example the Default Card template, it is configured with a single image which by default displays the photo image. It can be configured to show the logo instead.
Both the Bio and Notes fields support displaying as many images as you want. Be default the Default Entry Card template only display the Bio field.
So, add your images to the Bio field.
Both the Bio and Notes fields also support shortcodes. So, you can you an image gallery shortcode to display images too. The only caveat, not all plugins which offer shortcodes to display image galleries will work. Not a bug or limitation in Connections. In those cases the issue is generally those plugins expect to be run within the post/page body content and not within other plugins.
Hope this helps!
