There were some minor typos which may have cause the issue. I corrected the code in your original post.

To remove the category display on the default template, remove line 29 in the template.php file found here: ../wp-content/plugins/connections/templates/card

If you move the entire card folder and its contents to the ../wp-contents/connections_template folder, your changes will be safe from plugin upgrades.

Hope that helps.
