Ok, here’s the same CSS with some additional tweaks:

button#cn-search-submit {
	background: #FFFFFF url(http://chesterchamber.com/wp/wp-content/plugins/connections/assets/images/icons/search.png) no-repeat 8px center !important;
	background-image: url(http://chesterchamber.com/wp/wp-content/plugins/connections/assets/images/icons/search.png) !important;
	border-width: 1px 1px 1px 0 !important;
	border-style: solid !important;
	border-color: #DFDFDF !important;
	border-radius: 0 3px 3px 0 !important;
	-moz-border-radius: 0 3px 3px 0 !important;
	-khtml-border-radius: 0 3px 3px 0 !important;
	-webkit-border-radius: 0 3px 3px 0 !important;
	box-shadow: inset 0 1px 1px rgba(0,0,0,0.1) !important;
	-moz-box-shadow: inset 0 1px 1px rgba(0,0,0,0.1) !important;
	-webkit-box-shadow: inset 0 1px 1px rgba(0,0,0,0.1) !important;
	box-sizing: border-box !important;
	-moz-box-sizing: border-box !important;
	-webkit-box-sizing: border-box !important;
	cursor: pointer !important;
	font-size: 12px !important;
	float: none !important;
	height: 28px !important;
	line-height: 20px !important;
	margin: 1px 1px 1px 0 !important;
	padding: 3px !important;
	text-align: left !important;
	vertical-align: bottom !important;
	width: 30px !important;
}

#cn-cmap .btn span {
	background: none !important;
	background-image: none !important;
}

a#cn-clear-search-button {
	background: none !important;
	background-image: none !important;
}

I think that’ll fix it this time.

Sorry, I didn’t see your reply …. I just took a look.

The issue is being caused by JavaScript from the theme messing with the drop down for Connections. Try adding the following to the theme’s custom CSS area:

#cn-list .select-replace-cover {
  z-index: auto !important;
}

The .select-replace-cover class is being added to the Connections drop down by the theme using JavaScript. The z-index being set on this class is set 0 which is causing the drop down to go behind the rest of the page content. The CSS I gave should override that back to auto.

Let me know if that helps!

Nope, can not be auto-generated as Connections can not do that. I do not think this is a bug as I can not reproduce … What happens if you enable the Character Index options on the Connections : Settings admin page under the Display tab? I’m thinking there may have been some stray/invalid HTML in/around the [connections] shortcode causing the browser HTML parser to be confused.

This is a theme SEO issue for establishing the authorship of a page using the hAtom microdata markup. The entry data for Connections is marked up in the hCard microdata format which is not what the rich snippet tool is validating.

I found the following on the on the WordPress Support Forums:

//mod content
function hatom_mod_post_content ($content) {
  if ( in_the_loop() && !is_page() ) {
    $content = '<span class="entry-content">'.$content.'</span>';
  }
  return $content;
}
add_filter( 'the_content', 'hatom_mod_post_content');

//add hatom data
function add_mod_hatom_data($content) {
    $t = get_the_modified_time('F jS, Y');
    $author = get_the_author();
    $title = get_the_title();
    if ( is_single() || is_page()) {
        $content .= '<div class="hatom-extra"><span class="entry-title">'.$title.'</span> was last modified: <span class="updated"> '.$t.'</span> by <span class="author vcard"><span class="fn">'.$author.'</span></span></div>';
    }
    return $content;
    }
add_filter('the_content', 'add_mod_hatom_data');

Dropping that in the theme’s functions.php file should fix the error messages in the web master tools.

One of the SEO enhancements on my to do list will be to filter (set) the page date created/modified of a single entry to the entries created/modified dates instead of using the page’s.

Hope that helps!

There is another option for the logo size, see this FAQ:
http://connections-pro.com/faqs/how-do-i-change-the-image-size/

I think that FAQ has the solution you want.

@ Jody

I took a look at your site. The custom CSS seems a little overdefined, but if it gets the results you want, all is good. Although, something like this should have been sufficient:

#cn-cmap .gold .cn-entry {
    background-color: #f3e6b3 !important;
}

Yes, all the logos have to be the same size, sorry. The only thing that could be done as a work around is change the logo size to the desired on the Connections : Settings admin page under the Images tab and then edit the entry and upload your logo. Repeat for each entry where you want a different logo size. Ort another option would be to preprocess (scale/crop) the logo to the desired size (matching the settings) adding the appropriate colored padding. Looking at your site, it seems you’re using the later method.

I hope that helps!

If changing themes solve the issue, then the theme is very likely causing a fatal JavaScript error which is stopping JavaScript from running. Depending on when this error occurs, it could be causing other background scripts from functioning too, not just Connections or its templates.

Can you share a link to your directory page so I can take a closer look?

In short, you need to update the Tile Plus 4.0.2. The version that is currently installed is 1.0.1. You can freely download the update from your purchase history. The way templates are installed has dramatically changed since you purchase Tile Plus, take a look at this page for the installation instructions.

Searching for country and zip codes can be handled a couple of ways. The first is to limit the search input to only those fields on the Connections : Settings admin page under the Search tab. The second, you can enable the country and postal code linking options on the Connections : Settings admin page under the advanced tab. This will turn those parts of the address into links that when clicked will filter the list by the country or zip clicked.

Hope that helps!

@ Alexandre

If changing the theme fixes the issue, then it is definitely the theme overriding the Connections drop down and adding the “tick” option. Can you share a link to your directory page so I can take a look?

@ Alaina

Are the tables using the same prefix as the other tables in your WordPress database? The default is wp_. If the table prefixes do not match, then nothing will show up on the dashboard.
