ParticipantWhen clicking “View Profile” it takes me where I should go for one category of entries (run), but not for the others.
Here is the site: http://www.tifosioptics.com/tifosi-ambassadors/
The first 6 entires work fine and they are all in the same category. The rest say “No results.”

Keymaster@ Jorge
It appears you are using the shortcode on the page multiple times. Is that correct? If you are, you can do this but it requires more configuration.
When you click the on the “View Profile” link even though the URL in the address bar changes you do not actually leave the page you are on. When viewing the profile page, only the first shortcode is used all others are ignored. Since only the first shortcode is used and the4 entry is not in the category limited shortcode you get the no results message since that entry is not in the defined category. Hope that make sense.
You can do what you want but it requires a two page setup.
- Create a child page under the “TIFOSI AMBASSADORS” page named “Person”.
- The page content of this new page should be the
[connections]
shortcode with no options. - Take note of the Page ID assigned to the page by WordPress. You will find it in the browser’s address bar when editing the page.
- Edit the “TIFOSI AMBASSADORS” page and add the home_id=x to the all existing shortcodes.
x
should be the Page ID of the “Person” page.
With the above steps completed, the links for the “View Profile” will now resolve to the “Person” page where there is only a single shortcode instance with no limitations so all entries will display as expected.
Hope that helps. Let me know.

ParticipantThanks Steven,
I was using the shortcode multiple times. I was able to accomplish what I needed by using one shortcode, but if in the future I need to go back to multiple I’ll try your other fix.
