Right now, this can only be done by making a small edit to the widgets plugin file. Open this file:

../wp-content/plugins/connections-widgets/includes/class.widgets.php

Look for line 190 which should be:
'show_empty' => TRUE,

Change it to:
'show_empty' => FALSE,

That should do the trick! Hope that helps!

What version of Slim Plus do you have installed? Can you make sure you do not somehow have it installed twice on the Plugins admin page.

Ok, the first thing to do is open the page in Chrome, hit the F12 key and then click the Console tab. Are there any errors listed? If so, what are they?

Next, check to make sure the the slim-plus.js file is being loaded. Click the Sources tab. Click the little arrow beside wp-content so it expands. do the same for plugins and then connections-slim-plus. You should see slim-plus.min.css?ver2.0 only once. Do you?

Lastly hit CONTROL+U to open the page source, search the page for slim-plus.min.css, it should show as a result only once. Does it?

If all that looks good, then you need to eliminate the possibility of a plugin conflict by deactivating all other plugin except Connections and Slim Plus to see if the issue is resolved. If it is, then it is a plugin conflict. You’ll have to activate the plugins one at a time and check if the issue returns, if it does, then you found the plugin that is causing the conflict.

Let me know what you find.

Not sure why the CSS wouldn’t work for you, it works for me… even when I toggle the entry types, it remains not visible.

Yes there is a way to set the default entry type. First, install the Code Snippets plugin.

Add a new snippet with the following code:

function cn_default_entry_type( $atts ) {
		
	$atts['default']['type'] = 'organization';
		
	return $atts;
}

add_filter( 'cn_admin_metabox_publish_atts', 'cn_default_entry_type', 11 );

Save and activate the new snippet.

That should do the trick.

Yes, there is CSV Import. Right now the only option for CSV export is using a tool like phpMyAdmin to export the Connections tables. Then you would have to come up with a way to merge the different table data.

I updated you account, the download now shows up in your purchase history as it should. Apologies for the trouble!

re: I updated the shortcodes but the default template is showing instead of slim.
Make sure you remove the shortcode option template from you shortcode if you have that set. Instead, after installing and activating the Slim template, make sure you activate it on the Connections : Templates admin page. Hope that helps!

@ Linda

You would have to edit the template to remove the following line of code:

<div style="display: block; margin-bottom: 8px;"><?php $entry->getCategoryBlock( array( 'separator' => ', ', 'before' => '<span>', 'after' => '</span>' ) ); ?></div>

The file you need to edit can be found here:

../wp-content/plugins/connections/templates/card/card-default.php

If you do decide to edit the template, then I highly recommend you following this QuickTip to ensure your changes are update safe.

No problems! And, thanks for taking the time to leave a review!

@ Marco

Technically this would be possible but nothing “out of the box”, a custom extension would have to be created to add that functionality. Presently I do not do custom work, but I do have a dev I can recommend if that is a route you’d like to take. Let me know and I’ll ask him to drop by here and leave a reply so you and he can make contact.

@ Rich

My instinct is to say, sorry, no, Connections will not be what you’re looking for because there is no way to store product/purchase data in Connections outside of manually entering it into the Bio or Notes fields.

re: how can i take a backup?
I highly recommend using a plugin like BackupBuddy or service such as WP Vault for backups. They will backup all of WordPress including the data from Connections. (I’m in no way affiliated with either of these backup solutions.)
