I’m running Connections with a Slim Plus template and, without modifying anything lately other than adding a new Member to the directory, I’ve lost the connection to Connections.

Page at http://bhba.on.ca/member-directory/ to display directory shows [connections enable_search=FALSE image_fallback=’none’ str_contact=’BHBA Rep’ enable_bio_head=FALSE str_work_addr=’Address’ str_bio_head=Profile color=’#408547′ page_limit=100 show_empty_categories=’false’]

Has something changed with the plugin recently that I’d missed?

Well, the first thing I see is you are using WP Super Cache. Perhaps the page was cached when Connections was not active. Try flushing the page cache.

The next item I see it that is appears that the shortcode has fancy quotes in it (see they have backtick/curl to them). The WP shortcode parser does not support these. WP 4.4 made more changes to the shortcode parser which perhaps prevents shortcodes from working when they contain fancy quotes.

This happened to a couple other users too. Rather than repeating, here are the links to where I explain the issue and how to fix it:

• http://connections-pro.com/support/topic/wp-upgrading/#post-357398
• http://connections-pro.com/support/topic/delete-photo-in-tile-plus/#post-356945

The short version, the shortcode should look like this:

[connections enable_search=FALSE image_fallback='none' str_contact='BHBA Rep' enable_bio_head=FALSE str_work_addr='Address' str_bio_head=Profile color='#408547' page_limit=100 show_empty_categories='false']

Hope that helps! Let me know!

Thank you very much for the advice. Fixed immediately. Awesome insights and support, always!
