@ Alan

Great, let me know if you have any further questions. I’ll leave this thread open for awhile.

@ sue

This requires a little more complex configuration. Here’s a link where I gave the instructions to another user.

Hope this helps, let me know.

The sscit.org site does have quite a bit of custom coding built upon Connections. That said, i sounds like Connections will meet your requirements. I’ll answer question in more detail…

RE: Searchable directory by country, county/state, town

The advanced search addon does have options to search by country and state. When enabled these are presented and searchable drop downs. The town (city) would be searched by the keyword search field, if enabled.

RE: Search Name of therapist

The name is searched by the keyword search field.

RE Search by Skill level i.e level 1 level 2 qualified etc.

If you assign the skill level as categories, this would work with the advanced search addon.

RE: would like that the therapist can login and edit their own entry.

The Link addon would add this functionality.

RE: Could you please let me know what extensions and templates would be required for this funstionality.

The advanced search addon is one I supply, on request, to those that purchase either the Pro Pack or the Extension Pro Pack.

I would recommend at least the cMap template and the Extension Pro Pack OR just the Pro Pak to get all the features you require.

I hope this answers your question thoroughly!

Great to hear. I’m certain the issue is caused by WP Rocket deferring the script loading which is why the code works. I think I may have to come up with a way for this to work when the scripts are deferred.

Yes, the social network icons and related settings will be getting an overhaul. The social network fieldset will be receiving all the configuration options as the other fieldset have received throughout this year. This will include more options to configure the icons themselves.

@ Jaclyn

This is likely being caused by changes that were made to the address fieldset settings.

Navigate to the Connections : Settings admin page and click the Fieldset Configuration tab. Scroll down to the Address Fieldset section.

To correct do one:

• Make the address fieldset repeatable, OR
• Increase the minimum number of address fieldsets from 0 to 1 or more.

Hope this helps, let me know.

I took a look at your directory page and it does look fine. The entries are showing as they should.

If you are going to have a large directory, then you’ll need a premium template because they add support for paginating the entries so the list can not become too long.

Hope this helps, let me know.

RE: The issue is that I cannot see the Customize button for the Slim Plus Template.

Slim Plus has not yet been upgraded to use the Customizer so there is no button. Instead it is customized by using shortcode options.

Here’s the doc page with the Slim Plus shortcode options.

Navigate to the page which has the directory onit. Edit the page. Switch the page editor to the Text tab.

• What is the exact shortcode being used to embed the directory on the page?
• Can you share a link to the directory page?

RE: I downloaded the ‘Exclude Files from Defer’ plugin per the WP Rocket site:

Add these lines;

$excluded_files[] = '/wp-content/cache/busting/1wp-content/plugins/connections-rot13/cn_rot13-1.1.js'
$excluded_files[] = '/wp-content/cache/busting/1wp-content/plugins/connections-rot13/cn_rot13.js'
$excluded_files[] = '/wp-content/plugins/connections-rot13/cn_rot13.js'

I’m not certain wait is making your scripts load from /cache/busting/1wp-content/ so the first two lines are simply to account for those variations.

After you edit the file and save the changes. Make sure you clear your WP Cache. Also clear whatever plugin that is being used that is causing scripts for your plugins to be loaded from /cache/busting/1wp-content/. I use WP Rocket too so I I do not believe that is being done by it.

RE; I just also tried to update the Connections Widget plugin and received the following errors. Very weird as all other plugins update just fine.

Those are WP errors being generated by the WP plugin updater. The issue is pretty much what the error says. “Could not create directory“. My best guess is that the folder permissions, for whatever reason, WP is not set correctly and WP can not create the folders necessary for the plugin.

You could try deactivating, deleting and reinstalling the plugin. In this case, WP will delete the root plugin folder and then recreate the folder structure upon installation.

Alternatively you could log in to your site with FTP and inspect the folder permissions. The folders should have a permission of 755.

What’s interesting and likely not really relevant is that there are no new folders in any update of the Widget pack for many years now. The folder being mentioned in the error has existed for newly as long as the Widget Pack has been released.

Hopefully this helps, let me know.

The javascript for the ROT13 Email extension is being deferred. Likely by WP Rocket. Look thru its settings to see if the is an option to exclude a script from being deferred.

You need to exclude this script /connections-rot13/cn_rot13-1.1.js from being deferred.

Hope this helps, let me know.
