Hi!

I just installed your Connections plug-in yesterday, and have this pressing question to ask.

1) How can I have the directory the main page, rather than on a sub-page? Is this even possible with WordPress?

Right now, I’ve inserted one entry and the path looks like this:
http://healthresourcedirectory.com/business-directory/name/alternative-treatment-international/

I’d like path to be more like this:
http://healthresourcedirectory.com/addiction-and-recovery/alternative-treatment-international/

where addition-and-recovery is a category.

What do I need to alter on the permalinks or even at the code level for this to work this way?

Hope you can help. Thanks!

Yes, you can use Connections on the front page, many users setup their directory like that. Your permalink link would like this though…

Permalink to specific entry:
http://healthresourcedirectory.com/name/alternative-treatment-international/

Permalink to a specific category of entries:
http://healthresourcedirectory.com/cat/addiction-and-recovery/

The root bases slugs in the URL like name and cat are required otherwise they would conflict with the core WordPress permalink structure/logic. These can be customized on the Connections : Settings admin page under the Advanced tab.

I hope that helps.
