GuestHi:
Connections looks great! It may be exactly what I need but I am missing something in trying to make it work.I want to have a page “Find a Dojo” with categories for each Canadian province and subcategories within each province for major cities. I then want to make dojos in each city findable by clicking on the category and sub-category. Now, I’m not a word press guy and so far have not figured out how to get that to work.
The 1 letter index does appear, and does work.
Worse, when I add an images to the first entry in the add entry section the image appears there. When I add it to the second entry, the image in the first entry disappears. The entries show up correctly on the page and look good the first time the page is loaded, but they disappear on re-load.
So two questions:
1 -[ can you point me at a how-to for getting on page search to work?
2 -and, what am I doing wrong with the images in the entries?(WP 5.1.1., debian, apache2, php 7.2, using drift theme )

For the category filter you will need one of the premium templates:

I do not think this is an issue with Connections… it sounds as if another plugin or theme is interacting with images on the page causing them not to appear.
If you can share a link to the page with the issue and confirm which entries do have an image, I can take a look.

GuestThanks for the response.
I ended up not using connections because I do not want to have to commit some future maintainer of this website to using licensed software – and it appears (??) that search is only available with the premium versions.
A key issue here is that I volunteered to fix an older site that did use a licensed product (divi) and ran into trouble when they did not want to keep renewing that license to keep up with upgrades in WP and other plugins.
It’s unfortunate because connections is better than the alternatives I found – except for the lack of search.
