Hi Steven,

That does help! Thank you for telling me about the “linked to” field – I’m finding that my listings are not connected. How do I force the connection links to refresh? We’ve been manually self-populating the content prior to release of the site and its possible that we didn’t do things in “proper” order – so that the linking needs to be forced. Is there a quick way to do that?

I verified and that line you listed is indeed the last line in that file (the card-single.php). Is another setting I should check?

I also installed StarBox (by Squirrly UK) in an attempt to add more ways to allow my members to find out more information regarding the connection profiles. StarBox is formatting a nice looking author bio at the bottom of the blog posts. I would love a way to add a link to the connections profile inside their bio information at the bottom of each of their blog posts. Is this possible? Is there a shortcode that can connect a user id to the connections listing?

Thank you for your help with this!

Hi Steven,

I am using the circled theme and have now activated the Authored plugin. I’m not seeing the authored posts underneath their profile information, where I’m expecting to see it. I found in the settings where I am enabling: custom fields, Education level, and latest posts. ALl three are checked. I’m not seeing the education level or the latest posts when listing a single listing (I saw your example, too, and that helped me know what to expect). I added special code (as shown in your tutorial) to list my custom fields in the circled theme, so that piece is being displayed correctly. First, I’d like to get the two fields showing: the education level and the latest posts. Then I’ll need to connect the author bios to their directory listing. Thank you!

Yes, that did work! I’m not sure why that settings wasn’t set, but thank you for your assistance with fixing this.

Hi Steve,

I’m using the search sidebar widget embedded into a page. Maybe I should try a shortcode in its place? The directory listings are protected behind a membership wall, otherwise I’d send you a link to it. Is there a shortcode you’d recommend I use instead of the search widget? If I need to, I can send you a login to the site so you can see the page and how it works.

Thank you Steve! I got that to work using your tutorial.

Thank you! That did indeed fix the problem.

Placing the CSS in the connections file definitely did the trick. But that ended up hiding the categories box for ALL users – admin and subscribers. After some digging around, I found that placing this line:

echo ‘<style type=”text/css”> #categorydiv { display: none; } </style>’;

in the LINK manage.php on line 122 (in the if current user can edit section) hid the category links from the subscriber (who only has edit ability in their role) but the admin was still able to view the category listings and make the necessary updates when needed.

I think that should work, and will be running a few more tests to make sure.

I must be doing something wrong. I removed the added line to the connectionsLinkManage class (“remove_meta_box” on line 4) and then added the css to not display the categorydiv – yet the category section was visible when I logged in as a user (subscriber) to manage my own directory listing. What the client wants is for the categories to not be selectable unless you are a wordpress administrator – users should be able to edit their directory information but not select categories.

I added the CSS to the theme style sheet – and tried with an !important at the end. I examined the page code – and the css should have worked. Not sure what I am doing wrong…
