ParticipantThis isn’t really resolved…
I don’t see anything in my custom stylesheet that would move the image to the right… why would it, since I never wanted the image on the right?
I have not changed the Connections template, so yes, I guess it is the default one that I’m using. You had help me set it up to have a list of names (the list template) in the sidebar, and display the default? template in the indivdual listings area.
This is a link to a screen shot of what I see in the customizer window:

Again, this is what I see on my site.
http://tcvermont.com/person/name/john-abel/There is a div in there called div.cn-right which is moving the image over to the right. I don’t know how this could even be assigned, because I don’t see any template that shows an image on the right. And as I said, I have never seen the image on the right until i updated.

ParticipantAnother thing that’s happening is that the list view, which is what is set to be used in the sidebar on the right, has a few instances where the names are on the same line. Like this:

re: I don’t see anything in my custom stylesheet that would move the image to the right… why would it, since I never wanted the image on the right?
I never said anything in regards to custom CSS moving the image… just that I noticed custom CSS and that it would affect the settings applied using the Template Customizer.
re: This is a link to a screen shot of what I see in the customizer window:
- Which template did you click the Customize button that you ended up with this preview?
- Is that screenshot of the list view or the new single view? Put another way, did you click thru to the single entry view when in the Template Customizer?
The screenshot looks like it might be of the list view of the Profile Entry Card template which does not appear to the template activated. Additionally it looks like it would be of the list view not the single view. This is speculation because there is only so much I can gleen from a screenshot.
re: Another thing that’s happening is that the list view, which is what is set to be used in the sidebar on the right, has a few instances where the names are on the same line.
This is due to a CSS tweak that was added in the last update. A tweak was made to help prevent theme’s from inadvertently hiding Connections. Theme’s seem to love hiding the vcard class or defaulting all block level elements to either float or inline blocks. I have refined the tweak because it does seem to have caused issue like this a some users. This tweak will be in the next update. To apply it now, add the following to the theme’s custom CSS area:
#cn-list .vcard, #cn-list .vcard span { display: initial; margin: 0; padding: 0; border: none; } #cn-list div.vcard { display: block; }Note to self, original support thread is here.

GuestProfile Entry Card 3.0 by Steven A. Zahm
12/07/2015 at 3:01 pm #357230Meg
GuestThe back end tells me the current template is Profile Entry Card 3.0 by Steven A. Zahm
But then, I have a page called Person to display the single listing, and the shortcode there said template=”card” however, when change that to “profile” I get the same results.
The gist is, the screen shot I sent you is how the page USED to display, and how I WANT it to display. But instead I’m getting a layout with the cropped image to the right http://tcvermont.com/person/name/john-abel/
As far as the customizer goes, here’s what I do:
I click on Connections > templates. At the top of the page it tells me that the current template is the profile template. I click the customize button. I see the list view of that template, which is showing each individual in the way that I want to see them on the single view.
I click on a name, and I see it display the way it’s currently displaying on the site.
Am I making any sense? I just want a larger, square image to the left of the text.
Thank you for the code to fix the list, I’ll take care of that now.

Ok thanks, that answers the one question… what about the other question I asked?
Is that screenshot of the list view or the new single view? Put another way, did you click thru to the single entry view when in the Template Customizer?
12/07/2015 at 3:11 pm #357232Meg
GuestYes, when I click to the single entry view from the customizer, I get the image to the right, and cropped, just as on the site.

Ok, then you are seeing exactly what you should be seeing… like I’ve been saying, this is the new single entry view for the template. The list view, the one you want on your single view is only visible when viewing the list of entries in that template. See, this:
This is the list view of that template. When you click an entry name, you are now seeing the new single entry view of the template.
What you can do is go back to the Template Customizer click and entry name so you see the single entry preview. Now go to the Image settings panel in the customizer and you can change the image size and crop settings to match the list view of the template. You can also change the other settings available for the single entry view to better match the list view. The one item you will not be able to change is the image alignment. The list view, that is left on the single entry that is right. What you can try is deleting the
../wp-content/plugins/templates/card/card-single.phpfile. The template will fall back to the list view template file. You should end up with what it looked like before as long as you change the settings for the single entry view in the customizer like I said. What I can tell you for sure is if there will be any other side effects from deleting the file. What I can tell you is that you will have to delete this file every time you update Connections. To make the deletion permanent, you could move the..wp-content/plugins/connections/templates/card/folder to the..wp-content/plugins/folder. Then activate it like you would any other plugin. Now any changes you make to the template will be update safe including deleting the single entry view template file.Hope that helps! Let me know.

GuestYes, Steve, this seems to be working, but instead of deleting ../wp-content/plugins/templates/card/card-single.php as you say above, the one I needed to remove was ../wp-content/plugins/templates/profile/card-single.php
Given that, I’m expecting that the folder is should move to plugins is ../wp-content/plugins/templates/profile/ — is that correct?
Thank you for your help, and I apologize if I was being obtuse at first.
