@ Kathy

Did you try resetting the role capabilities like I mentioned in this reply and the readding the capabilites after the role reset?

@ Mitch

WordPress 4.0 is such a minor update, I’d be surprised if that is the issue at all … I haven’t tested against the beta yet though. I’m planning on doing that after I release bug fix 0.8.14 (fixes some obscure bugs and greatly improve the responsive readiness of the admin add/edit form.

When you say not listed anywhere, where exactly do you mean? The Plugins page, the Connections : Templates page?

@ Ken

I’m assuming you were copy/pasting code from the web page into the Visual post editor in WordPress, yes? When you do that, you also copy the HTML tags and paste those too.

You need to remove those stray tags from around and from within the shortcode. WordPress does not support have the HTML within the shortcode.

See this QuickTip on working with shortcodes.

This FAQ, the top couple paragraphs, explain how to fix this.

Basically, if you completely delete the shortcode while in the Text tab of the post editor and manually re-type it things will be fine. This is the best way to work with shortcode no matter what plugin you’re working with.

Hope that helps!

@ Mike

Hmmm… there’s no easy fix for that…

I just tweaked the code/css a bit in the forthcoming 0.8.14 bug fix release to better deal with this. I’ll be releasing the bug fix soon. Right now I’m greatly improving the responsive compatibility of the form in the admin.

Sounds like a document root issue. Can you please share a link to your directory so I can take a look?

Try…

Change the permissions of the following folders and files to 767:
../wp-content/connection-images/
../wp-content/plugins/connections/cache/
../wp-content/plugins/connections/cache/index.html

If that does not do it, try:

Add the following to the timthumb-config.php file found here:

../wp-content/plugins/connections/includes/libraries/timthumb/

This is what you need to add, make sure to change the doc root accordingly:

define ('LOCAL_FILE_BASE_DIRECTORY','/my/doc/root/');

What '/my/doc/root' will be, will depend entirely on the server setup. If you go to the the Connections : Dashboard admin page and look at the the System widget; there will be a constant named CN_PATH. The doc root should be the beginning portion of that path. What I can tell you is that from the wp-content on will NOT be part of the doc root.

@ Chris

I can not duplicate this, can you share link of the page showing this error so I know where to look in my code for the cause?

[Steven Zahm]

@ Chris

Go to the Connections : Settings admin page, click the Form tab and then click the Save Changes button to see if the error goes away.

@ AlpineWeb Design

Thanks!

Sure, the “Other” label can be change or the labels can be removed entirely. See this FAQ on how to change labels. All the str_***** option can be found on this page.

To remove the label you can use the addr_format shortcode option that is anabled by cMap.

Hope that helps.

@ james301

Sure, I can refer you to a dev which has a lot of experience working with Connections and its templates. I’ll ask him to stop by this forum thread so you and he can make contact.

@ yanko

No in the core Connections plugin, sorry. But since both the bio and notes fields support shortcodes, you can use any photo gallery that support displaying galleries using shortcode in those fields.

Hope that helps!
