@ Kaitlin

Have a link so I can see?

@ Michelle

Great to hear!

That’s right, I still need to re-enable the shortcode options… Right now, sections can be turned on/off and re-ordered on the Connections : Settings admin page under the Form tab. Yeah, that’s new ;)

Something else that’s new…

In the email message fields on the settings page, add this:

Thank you for your submission. We will review and approve your submission soon.

Lastly, that filter. You put that in the plugin you created to add teh custom fields. Hope that helps.

@ Tracy

Great, glad to help!

I see you modded the CSS… here’s couple links that may be interest. Basically how you can do this so it is update safe. as it is now, you’ll lose the changes during an update.

When you launch your site, let me know, I’ll list it here as a live sample.

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

@ Tracy

Right there’s the problem… category_name='Featured'

You need to use category=x

X would equal the category ID of your featured category.

The current version of cMap is 4.0, released last week. You can download the latest version from you purchase history.

One of the major new features is in cMap is in admin updates which is enabled by Connections 0.8.x. After you install the update enter your license key on the Connections : Settings admin page under the Licenses tab. After you do that, anytime I release an update you can click to update link right within the admin like you can with plugins from wordpress.org. In order to be notified of updates, you must enter your license key.

@ Tracy

I tested, it seems to work fine for me. I see you do have an older version of both Connections and cMap installed. Can you update both and try again?

[Steven Zahm]

@ Paul

This is unlikely related to Connections. By default the text widgets do not support shortcodes. Usually the theme or a plugin will add a filter which enables the processing of shortcodes. Connections never added this filter, so something else did. Have you updated any other plugins, removed a plugin, updated the theme or changed themes?

You can manually re-add this filter by adding the following to the theme’s functions.php file.

add_filter( 'widget_text', 'do_shortcode' );

I hope this helps!

@ Jenny

Sure, send me a login. Details can be posted here as a private reply. I’ll also need a copy of an image that is failing.
