@ Peter

Use this:

#cn-cmap h3 span {
    color: #000000;
}

That should override the theme.

@ Peter

That should change with the code I gave you. You can tweak the color to better suit. If it doesn’t change, then it is still being set by the theme. This usually means an even more specific CSS selector needs to be used to override the theme. What that is without being able to see, I don’t know, sorry.

[Steven Zahm]

No you can change the color without effecting the color throughout the entire theme. The following should work, but that depends on how the theme’s author declared the color style:

#cn-cmap, #cn-cmap h3 {
    color: cadetblue;
}

Actually, the permission issue is resolved … now, the issue is the doc root needs fix. It’s pretty rare to have to deal with permissions issues, even rarer to deal with the doc root…

See this support forum post where I explain how to set it manually.

@ Ayyoub

Apologies for the late reply! For some reason your reply was detected as spam and I was not notified …

The only option you have is to create a custom theme template page and call the internal Connections functions directly. Take a look in the class.template-parts.php file. There is a category method you can use that take many different options to customize the output. Far, far more than what is available thru the shortcode.

Hope that helps.

The error being reported is a permissions error.

To eliminate a possible folder permissions error. Log in to your site with FTP and change the permissions of the following file and folder to 767:

../wp-content/plugins/connections/cache
../wp-content/plugins/connections/cache/index.html

The style of the individual entry page is correct. It is not displayed within a tiny tile. Other forthcoming extensions, such as Contact, Hours and others will display additional content on the individual entry page. Additionally the individual entry page is designed to inherited as much as the theme’s style as possible for better integration of the visual appearance.

I hope that helps.

@ Colleen

Great to hear the issue is resolved.

Which example are you referring to? None of the templates show field titles for title, org and dept. You can use a bit of CSS magic to add it… Add the following to the theme’s custom CSS area, if has one. If not, add it to the end of the theme’s styles.css file.

#cn-tile-plus .title,
#cn-tile-plus .organization-name, 
#cn-tile-plus .organization-unit {
	margin-bottom: 6px;
}

#cn-tile-plus .title:before {
	content: "Title: ";
	font-weight: bold;
}

#cn-tile-plus .organization-name:before {
	content: "Orgnaization: ";
	font-weight: bold;
}

#cn-tile-plus .organization-unit:before {
	content: "Department: ";
	font-weight: bold;
}

Tweak as desired.

Hope that helps.

1. Yep, that is exact what Excerpt was designed to do.
   2.A. Filtering by multiple category drop downs would require custom work. There is no template available that has this type of feature. If this is something you’re interested in. I do have a developer I can recommend. Just let me know and I’ll has him to reply to this forum topic so you and he can connect.
   2.B. You could highly expert witnesses uses CSS. As an example, add this to the theme’s custom CSS area:

#cn-excerpt-plus .expert_witness,
#cn-excerpt-plus .expert-witness{
    background-color: yellow;
}

Now any entry assigned to you expert witness categories will be highlighted yellow.

1. Excerpt Plus was designed to show only the bio by default. You can selectively turn on the other entry details by using shortcode options. see this page for all the options avaiable to Excerpt Plus. Here’s quick example shortcode that’ll turn on most/all the details for an entry within Excerpt Plus:

[connections show_title='TRUE' show_org='TRUE' show_contact_name='TRUE' show_family='TRUE' show_addresses='TRUE' show_phone_numbers='TRUE' show_email='TRUE' show_im='TRUE' show_social_media='TRUE' show_dates='TRUE' show_links='TRUE']

1. The Link extension would be an option, but there is not a way to limit what they can edit. Meaning they would be able to edit their categories and bio.
2. What is the exact shortcode you’re using to change the color?

I hope that answers all your questions thoroughly!
