RE: But what kind of prayer do you have to say that Connections finds out that the card.php is in a folder named connections-templates in the child theme?

Put the override template file in the connections-templates folder in the child theme folder, that path is covered in the dev doc, copied here:

../wp-content/theme/{child-theme}/connections-templates/{slug}

Connections does “find out” where the card.php file is… that is afterall how it is possible to load the file so it can be used.

Connections, however, does not delete plugin files, that is WordPress, which is how it updates all plugins… very basically, WP deletes the plugin folder contents and then copy the new plugin files to that folder. Since the template override file is not in the plugin folder, it will not be deleted by WP.

The process is not much unlike the WP Child Theme process where you can update the parent theme without affecting the child theme’s files. And, it is very much, like other plugins which provide the ability to override template files… which is to code the template logic to look for template files outside of the plugin folder and if fund load them instead.

Hope this make sense now, so it can help!

RE: in the attachment are our snippets for our custom fields.

Add an entry that contains data for your custom fields and then do a CSV export. When doing an import, make sure the data for those fields match exactly as they are export otherwise they will not import.

If you supply a very small CSV export of an entry which contains data for those custom fields, I should be able to spend a couple minutes and do a quick test.

Hi Steven,
thanks for your support. Meanwhile all is fine.
One problem is open. Our URLs are all with .html at the end. And with the .html at the end your functions with the search area are not ok.
It is possible to have the urls with html at the end?
Regards
Roland

PS;. In the google map we have our own marker. Your plugin have no function to use a own marker. It was no problem to upload our own and replace the marker-icon.png and to change the css.
But this is not good with updates

RE: It is possible to have the urls with html at the end?

Sorry, no, this is not possible to support the legacy style URL/s. Modern style URL are better user experience and perhaps offers SEO benefits.

Ok… thanks
you can now close the topic.
