I too had purchased W3TC but I was never able to get the fragment cache to work for me … if I read correctly it is not working, yet, for you Facebook live feeds, right?

I can install W3TC again and see if there is anything I can do from my side to force W3TC to purge its cache … I do not believe I should have to since saying delete transient bla bla code here should be enough.

What are the messages? Can you share a link to the page having the issue?

@ Dennis

Can you please provide more details on this; “I’m also experience not uploading images”. Screenshots and/or description of what is occurring when you add an entry with an image will be helpful.

@ Iris

First and last name are required for and entry type Individual. This is in place to prevent bad things from happening which is more critical because the actual folder paths on the server for images are based on the entry name.

No problem!

If I have not asked and you have a moment,, I would truly appreciate a review as they really do make a difference. Many thanks in advance!

CAn you share the direct link so I can take look?

@ Antonio

I loaded the bugfix release and all still seems well. When I release the bugfix, it’ll contain the same changes so you should still update.

Now I am receiving an invalid user name error message when I try to login.

In short, the answer is yes and yes.

You’ll need to install a plugin that enables shortcodes to be used in the WordPress Text Widget.

After you install it, you can use the [connections] shortcode in the Text Widget.

I highly suggest using the lock shortcode option like this:
[connections lock='true'] otherwise that shortcode instance will respond to any valid Connections query which is very likely not something you would want.

A caveat, you would have to disable the List Actions and Entry Actions on the Connections : Settings admin page under the Display tab otherwise they’ll display in the widget. Unfortunately this mean they will not be shown for any other instance of the shortcode too. That could be a show stopper.

If you use the Default Card template, there’s is an add to addressbook link, this allows the user to download a vCard. So the shortcode in the widget would look like this:
[connections lock='true' template='card']

Kind of complicated, I know. I do plan on introducing widgets to make this very simple but I do not know when at this time.

Hope that helps!

I see you’re using a caching plugin, which one?

Connections 8.1 introduced fragment caching. This is the process of caching process/memory intensive options. The only place at this time that uses fragment caching are the categories in the admin.

This fragment caching utilities the core WordPress Transient API. Third party caching plugins can alter the behavior, genreally to use a faster caching method.

My guess is the caching plugin is not clearing the Connections fragment caches when requested which in Connections case would be when an entry is added/edited or a category is added/edited.

Can you please try deactivating the the caching plugin to see if the issue goes away? If it does and I suspect it will, can you please attach screen captures of all the caching plugins settings pages so I can attempt to duplicate the issue?
