    On our homepage, I wanted to show we had a new directory, so I create this shortcode to simply have one entry:

    [connections Entry ID="52" str_note_show='Provider Hours' show_empty_categories=”false” image='photo' tray_image='none' tray_image_fallback='none' str_image='No Photo Available' str_tray_image='No Logo Available' str_work_phone='Phone' str_work_fax='Fax' str_note_hide="Close Provider Hours" str_note_head="Provider Hours"]

    Did I do something wrong? How can I fix this?

    @ Jonathan

    First, you should upgrade Connections to 0.7.6.6.

    The category drop down is being redirected to the “blog” home page by WordPress. This is a known WordPress issue/feature called canonical redirect. I’ve implemented a work-around in version 0.7.6.4, one version newer than you have installed.

    Installing the new version will fix this. However, the category and search will occur on the homepage and not the directory home page. This is by design which allows multiple directories be run on the same site separated by categories. So what you’ll want to do is disable the category select and search. You can do this by adding the following two options to the shortcode:

    enable_search=FALSE
    enable_category_select=TRUE

    Hope that helps.
