Hi – I don’t have a ton of html/css knowledge but I’d like to ‘hide’ our directory description that is on our main page from our business listings – is there a way to do this?

I’d like to keep the intro paragraph (which is on our directory page) solely on our main directory page, but do not want it show up on each individual listing page (which it currently is). Is there a way to edit this?
Thanks!

At one point I did have Connections “clear” the page before displaying the entry detail however due to the popularity of visual page builders I had to remove that functionality because those page builders use shortcodes in the page content, so removing them meant removing the page structure.

Now, if you need a directory “intro” you can achieve this with a two page setup. Here’s how:

• Create a new page named “business”. On this page add this shortcode: [connections force_home=true].
  • Put no other content on this page.
  • Save the page.
  • Take note of the page ID assigned to the page by WordPress. You will find it in the URL of the browser’s address bar.
• On you existing directory page. add this to the existing shortcode, home_id=x where x is the page id of the new “business” page you just created.
• Now, when links are clicked on the directory page, they will resolve to the new business page.

Hope this helps!
