Sorry, but Slim Plus can show either one, not both.

Ok, I see now … for users that decide to use Connections on their static front page and I need add url end points off the site’s root. What I’m referring to as the site’s root in the url with no pages. In your instance the root is: http://nocorkagefees.com/

One of the new endpoints is /submit/, which just happened to be a real page on your site. But because my end point rules occur before the base WordPress rules, you landed on your sites home page and since you do not have the Connections shortcode on it, you simply see the normal page contents.

I hope that makes a little sense! … If not, it think of it as name conflict between a WordPress page and a special Connections page and the Connections page just had higher priority.

Now, why did I add the /submit/ end point?

This is to support Form 2.0. So Form will not need a separate page of its own. Form 2.0 will add an action list item link above the directory named “Submit” this will take you to an internal page dedicated to Form.

So, this really isn’t a bug or an anomaly because it is by design. The only way to avoid the name collision is to remove the rule that adds this new endpoint. If you want to do that, here’s how, you need to remove lines 112 thru 114. The go to the Settings Permalink admin page and click the Save Changes button.

I hope all this makes sense and helps!

No, the categories shortcode is completely independent of any shortcode option you may have set on a page. There really is not a way within WordPress to “link” options set in a shortcode with a widget. So for what your asking is not possible. I already have on my todo list for the widget at add the ability to limit the categories but I do not have an eta for when this enhancement will be added.

Sorry, but there is not a way to remove the visibility options. I’ll add this to my feature request list to see what I can come up with.

Setting the default can be done with a snippet, attached. However, there seems to be a bug in Connections that prevents it from working. You can install and activate, when I release the next bug fix for Connections, it should work fine.

I can definitely consider adding importing the Family entry type. I’ve added the request to my issue tracker as a feature request. I didn’t include it because of the need to manually edit the families to link the individuals. There really is not a way to do that step via the import because the linking is keyed on the entry ID the database assigns when an entry is inserted, something that can not be known beforehand.

As for export, that has been long on my todo list…

I do have this:

This is not a WordPress plugin and is not plug and play as its very low level with a somewhat complicated setup; see the instructions file.

@ arnaud

You seem to have an older version of the template, you’ll need to update it. You can download the update from your purchase history. The template installation process has changed significantly, please carefully follow the template installation upgrade instructions.

I hope that helps!

I’ve confirmed the bug. The cancel button shouldn’t be shown because there is nothing to cancel. I’m not quite certain what the fix is yet at the moment but it will likely require an update to both Connections and Link. I’ll reply back when I have a working solution available.

AS explained in the link I gave, this must be done in database as this is not a Connections bug. If your webhost has a control panel that you have access to, usually one of the tools they provide is phpMyAdmin. After a quick search, I found this how to link:

http://kb.mediatemple.net/questions/138/Default+MySQL+character+set+and+collation#gs/-phpmyadmin–

If you not familiar with this tool, I recommend contacting your host support and asking them to change the collation default to utf8_swedish_ci and also have them change any tables not using this collation.

Hope that helps.
