Deactivating it on the test site and then activating it on the productions site should be all that’s required. You might have to deactivate and reactivate on the production site just to confirm you’re not seeing a cached message.

When I look at the site activation log for cMap, it does not appear to be registered to any site at the moment so you so be able to activate it on your production site without issue.

Can you try again and let me know if the issue persists?

The isDot() error you’re seeing is do to the PHP version installed on the web host. I have this addressed in the next bug fix release, 8.1.2.

I Do not believe this error is directly related but it could be due to the PHP version too.

Which PHP version specifically is running? This can also be found on the Connections : Dashboard admin page in the System widget.

If you can grant me, temporarily, an admin and FTP account, I’ll log in to see if I can figure this out se it will be addressed in the next bug fix release.

Yes, this is possible, but you need to edit the template to do so. The file is card.php and it is found here:
../wp-content/plugins/connections-cmap/

The block of code you want to move is this:

<?php $entry->getContentBlock( $atts['content'], $atts, $template ); ?>

If you decide to do this, then I highly recommend following the instructions in this QuickTip to make the change update safe.

re: WordPress is adding p and/or br tags after and around every line – this is not a result of my changes, it was happening before I started customizing. (I’m pretty sure this started after all the updates surrounding WP 4.0, but can’t go back to be sure.) I don’t want to disable autop sitewide. What can I do to disable it either for the Connections post type or for each template, or to modify the template to prevent it?
This is most often caused by the theme. Those from ThemeForest are especially guilty of adding p and br tags to shortcode output. See this FAQ for some helpful tips. The update in the yellow tinted box usually fixes it for almost everyone so I would try that first.

re: Where are the directions for adding a custom field or fields to a template?
The custom fields when adding an entry? Those can be enabled for display on the Connections : Settings admin page under the Display tab. If you want to add other custom like Education Level, Hours, Income Level and Languages, there’s no doc available on the web yet. I highly recommend referring to those plugins code they are freely available and are well documented using phpDoc and inline comments.

Hope that helps!

Add the following CSS to the theme’s custom CSS area:

.cn-entry-content-block-list .cn-entry-content-block-meta > h3 {
    display: none;
}

That will hide the Custom Fields title.

Hope that helps!

re: What is the correct image dimensions for Slim Plus entries so they aren’t cropped/resized into oblivion after being uploaded?
The image a scaled and cropped to best fit the dimensions of 100x120px. See this FAQ for more details on sizing images for Slim Plus. The relevant part of the FAQ is in the first “Exception”

re: is there a way to list all entries rather than broken into multiple pages? I’d rather have one long page then multiple short pages.
Yes, the page limit is configurable and can be disabled. See this doc page. One word of caution … I do not recommend showing to many at once. Page load times will suffer for the same reasons WordPress defaults to showing 10 or is 5 blog posts at a time. I don’t think I’d go over 50.

Hope that helps!

Ok the issue was they way WP Super Cache was configured… These should be checked:
Don’t cache pages for known users. (Recommended)
Don’t cache pages with GET parameters. (?x=y at the end of a url)

The first one is important because you could make changes all day and not see a difference until the page’s cache expires.

That … and I did not once, not once!, read the question you asked correctly. I apologize!

The correct shortcode is [connections link=true']

You are all set now.

@ Shanna

Great to hear. I’ll try to keep that in mind for any others that may ask in the future.

If you have a moment, I would truly appreciate a review as they really do make a difference. Many thanks in advance!

@ Felipe

That depends … the str_***** shortcode options only work with the premium templates, not any of the free templates. Since str_home_phone did not work for you I’m assuming your using one of the free cofre templates, yes?

If you are then you can use the Say What plugin. Take a look at this QuickTip for more details.

Hope that helps!
